Stripes, polka dots, gingham or animal prints? When it comes to picking nursery bedding, parents can drive themselves crazy trying to decide between all of the adorable options. Leave the tough decision making to wall art and use simple crib sheets to match the rest of the decor.

The Pottery Barn Kids plush chamois fitted sheet ($49) is all baby needs. Outfit baby's cocoon with the cozy cover allowing the infant to snuggle up to a cushy surface. Parents who follow the AAP's recommendation of not allowing blankets in the crib will find comfort in the warmth the velvety layer provides.

Lil Tip: Wonder Bumpers

LilSugar — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 05:00:45 -0800

There's much concern over crib bumpers and SIDS so many mommas have heeded their pediatricians' warnings and removed the decorative accents from their lil ones' cribs. Wonder Bumpers are out to change our opinions by turning the offending items on their side.

Unlike traditional bumpers that tie horizontally around a crib, allowing a baby to become squished between the fabric and the mattress, Wonder Bumpers wrap vertically around each crib rail, leaving space between the rails for air to flow into the crib, and significantly reducing the possibility of SIDS-related issues. The new bumpers feature a reversible zipper, making them easy to remove for cleaning purposes, and providing two fabric choices for the decorator in the family. Available in nine designs, the products are sold in packages of 24 or 36 to suit all crib sizes.

Do You Let Your Children Decorate Their Rooms?

A friend of mine has a son who is about to move out of his crib and into a bed. To get him excited about the move, she began showing him pictures of "big boy beds" in catalogs. To her chagrin, he took to a rather wild bedding print that she never would have picked. He now tells everyone that his bed will feature these crazy sheets and she is researching quilts that will keep them undercover throughout the day.

Did you let your tots pick out their own bedding and room decor?

Lil Tip: Cribbin' in the Hotel

babysugar — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:00:15 -0800

Many hotels offer traveling families a crib in the hotel room. A nice accommodation indeed, it's even nicer that they offer sheets to go with it.

However, I still like to travel with my own baby's bedding. I don't mean the entire crib set but at least the fitted sheet. I find it helps her transition to her new surroundings quickly and makes her feel at home. Plus, they are much softer than the washed up hotel sheets.

A man's home is his castle, so why shouldn't his daughter live the same way? I thought I had seen it all when I came across the luxurious carriage crib, but this Goldilocks bunk bed has my jaw dropping. For a mere $3,000, the custom-made castle holds a twin mattress in the loft and either a twin or full one on the bottom. Both a nightstand and a bookcase are built into it and a matching dresser can be purchased separately.

Will this luxe bed bring sweet dreams or nightmares?
