Crib sheets

MrsH_08

Sorry I keep asking for recs on this stuff.  You can tell I'm in baby prep mode. :-)  I'm working on my registry and wondering about the best crib sheets.  I remember my sister telling me to just go to Target and buy a bunch of solid-color jersey sheets.  I don't even see those, but she said that a few years ago.  I've been reading reviews on Target's site and BRU and it seems like many shrink easily or don't fit well.

So, can I tap into Bumpie experience and find out what type of crib sheets you like?

I have the ones that came from my set from Target, and a couple spare cotton ones I got from Target.  I hate jersey, it always stretches weird, so I didn't try those.  Maybe they're easier to get on a crib mattress though?

Anyhoo...my confession is this.  I put one of these across the mattress and tuck in the sides, and just pull it up and wash it.  That way I got my pretty sheet and I don't have to change it often.  https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3046050

I got those pads in every size, and use them on the changing pad, mattress, couch, you name it.  They're soft and waterproof and awesome.  The biggest size is perfect for going sideways across a mattress, and it picks up pukes and blowouts great.

I love the Carter velour sheets.  I had one where the elastic snapped after a few months and I called the company and a new sheet was sent.

Ok, I splurged recently and got Laurel flannel crib sheets that I LOVE. 

I like the Swaddle Designs sheets.  Great quality, super soft, love the patterns.

If you like them on fb, they often have discounts as well.

I got custom sheets (and a quilt) made by The Chic Bambino.  The owner is super nice and easy to work with and got me just what I wanted for a very reasonable price!

I like the chamois crib sheets from Pottery Barn Kids.  And these sheets get good reviews.

I also have Organic Jungle Crib Sheets from gap.com that I got this past summer, but gap.com is not selling as much bedding now like it did in the past.  And I have Carter's Ivory Jersey Sheets.  I got a variety of sheets, since I did not buy a nursery bedding set.  And I have a dark brown breatheable bumper for my baby's crib.

Pottery Barn Kids chamois! Hands down THE best sheet ever! I bought a bunch of inexpensive sheets before A was born and once I got the PBK chamois, I never looked back. (We were at a friends house when she was about 6 months and they had the chamois. It was so soft, I had to run out and get one the next week.)

When Rye came along, I got one sheet that matches his dust ruffle, then got the PBK chamois ones and honestly, I rarely take it off and use the non chamois. Even on the summer, it is so soft and it's warm o the winter. Same with Audreys chamois sheet.

You really only need 3 sheets. One for the bed, one in the drawer and one in the wash. (the rule of 3).

only going thru night time potty training did I ever wish I had more sheets. Lol. When you are changing sheets every night, that is when you are thankful for the cheapy sheets. They never stayed on the bed for more than one night.

they are around $20-$25 (maybe $26?) but worth every penny! It was no question which sheets to buy for #2.

Oh, and like J mentioned, we swore by having lap pads. We didn't use them in the crib, but always, always had one over the changing pad. It saved having to wash/change the cover with every diaper change. Plus I keep one in the diaper bag for diaper changes out and about. Perfect and big enough to cover those public changing tables. I admit though, we used them like crazy for #1 and hardly ever for #2. (except the diaper bag one). Maybe we got better at changing diapers, or maybe boys are less messy? Lol.

I will have a few sets of great shape ones of them for sale at the bumps and babies fair next month.

I just got regular sheets from BRU in a few gingham colors and they work fine. They haven't shrunk or anything. I have one jersey one that I don't even remember buying but I found it recently. I don't see any reason to buy fancy sheets personally.

Right now we're using the Carter's Easy Fit Jersey fitted sheets.  I've only had them for a few weeks because before we had a mini crib and had special sheets for it, but these seem pretty nice, have washed well and are soft.  I bought mine on Amazon (don't forget to sign up for Amazon Mom for free prime shipping, plus if you get a few of these sheets or anything else baby related they'll extend your prime for a few months if you spend $25).

Thank you, everyone!  I've got some sheets to start checking out!  Oh, I already added a few of those pads to the registry b/c I remember them being mentioned previously. :-)

Lauri- I'll be at the fair and checking out the goodies!
