Simple traditional fabrics in baby bedding items can offer both comfort and value, saying less is more. Many parents find that extra blankets and quilts are unnecessary, with a few good-quality fitted crib sheets serving most of their needs. Cotton being cool and breathable in summer and warm during cooler climate is an obvious choice as a material for all seasons.

Parents in colder climates might choose to invest in a fleece sheet to place between the crib’s mattress and the regular crib sheet to provide an extra layer of insulation. Be careful to choose gender-neutral colors and patterns if you don’t know your baby’s sex yet; otherwise, your little boy may have to bed down among pink and purple hearts, or your baby girl may have to dream sweetly in a nautical-themed crib set.
