Do You Love Your Baby Bedding Theme?

Picking the perfect baby bedding theme for your little one is typically the main attraction to creating your nursery.  There are several factors that come into play.  What color scheme should you choose?  What sort of crib bedding set would work best?  Is it comfortable and safe for my baby?  Whether you are seeking an elaborate look or simple design, here are some recommendations that may help you choose the right baby bedding theme for your nursery.

Picking the color scheme for your nursery is a major decision because it will impact every item you choose.  Also, more color in your nursery is more stimulating for your little one’s mind in contrast to none at all.  Naturally knowing if you are expecting a boy or girl can make a big difference in color.  Traditionally it is easy to pick pinks for girls and blues for boys.  However, parents these days are more creative and have migrated to neutral or unisex colors, like greens, browns and yellows.  Whichever color set you decided on, 2-3 colors is a safe number.  Any more can make your nursery look too busy. 

There is a large selection of baby bedding themes} to choose from.  The best thing to do is narrow down your selections by gender.  Popular baby bedding themes for girls include flowers, ladybugs, cuddly animals, princesses, kids’ characters, and many others.  For boys, you have cars, cowboys, boats, planes, safari animals and much more.  If you are brave enough not to know the sex of your little one until he/she is born, you can certainly choose baby bedding} with a unisex theme.  Animals, nature and geometric patterns go nicely for boys and girls.  However, if you do know if you are having a boy or girl, I always say some imagination is in order.  It may sound funny, but I say go with your instincts.  Choose a baby bedding theme that goes with the persona you feel your baby will have.  Choose a topic you think your little one will grow into.  You don’t want to have to change your nursery for a number of years.

It is also essential to consider the safety of your child.  Bumper pads usually come with crib bedding sets and are typically used to stop your baby from bumping his/her head, or blocking the arms or legs from getting caught in the crib sides.  With older-style cribs, bumper pads were used to decrease the chance of a baby’s head from getting trapped in between the crib sides since they were wider apart.  Now, bumpers are discouraged completely to help prevent suffocation or even Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).  Take every precaution to ensure your baby bedding set is safe for you baby.

Don’t get lost in the enormous selection of baby bedding themes out there.  You are your baby’s greatest advocate.  Choose a baby bedding theme that you and your baby can enjoy for many years.  You can even bring a trusted friend along that can help you decide.  One way or another, take into account the color, theme and safety for your nursery and you will do just fine.
