Update**$ Spent on Nursery Bedding

Thanks for all the helpful advice this morning ladies!

After looking at what is normal for spending on bedding, and talking with co-workers and my sister (who has a 15 month old). I realized that I did not need a bumper or a quilt, so there was no point in spending $331 for a fitted sheet and a bed skirt.

Here is what I bought:

Product Total $134.09

Final Total $134.09

The pillows and crib blanket are my "decorative" peices and I think $134.09 is much more reasonable.

    That was very smart of you. I splurged on DD#1's bedding and didn't use half the stuff that came with it. Needless to say that isn't happening again.

    I think that's much more reasonable.  Our set doesn't have a crib blanket so we are getting a quilt made, but we arent' doing a bumper either.

    I did not want to tell you what you needed and what you did not need in your first post because it is your first baby, but I think you made a good choice on what you bought! This is everything you will need.

    I totally think this is the way to go!  I did the same thing (sort of):

    I bought an organic crib skirt in "natural" (which turns out to be a creamy beige sort of color) from Pottery Barn for $9.99 (yep, thats all!).  Then I registered for coordinating sheets from BRU.  My mom got me a Snoopy mobile for Christmas, and I am going to accent with some Snoopy stuffed animals on shelves, and some Snoopy "art" on the walls. 

    I think going al-a-carte is the way to go!!

    I would highly recommend registering/ buying addt'l crib sheets.  Baby is going to spit up/ leak on the crib sheets.  I would plan on having 3 just so you have some back ups while doing laundry.

    Much more reasonable!

    Just an FYI - you'll want more than 1 crib sheet.  I had 4 for DD just in case we had a really messy night. I would have been fine with 3, but no less than that.

    I am not getting a bumper either, but I am getting a quilt so we can use it w/ the rest of the set when we convert the crib to a toddler bed.  Just a thought.
