white bedding

parrotgirl · March 2010

i love the crisp, clean look of white crib bedding (see link, i have the same crib ), but how practical is it for a baby? For those with white bedding, do you recommend?

If you use one of the sheet savers over the top of your sheets (and they come in white so it's not a hard sell) then you have your sheet saver as the only point of contact with baby (assuming no bumpers. If you have bumpers all white is a harder sell). If you can be religious about changing the sheet saver and not just letting baby run wild on the white sheets it's pretty reasonable.

Know this- babies explode in every disgusting shade of puke drool poo and pee and they do it all in cribs especially. Keeping white top sheets spot free and pretty looking is simply impractical. If you can handle the stains or the extra steps of dealing with a pad to keep the stains- you can make it work though.

We use plain white sheets and a plain white sheet saver and no other bedding for when we have baby visitors and it's fine as a temporary measure- I'll probably swap to something a bit more stain friendly once we're using our crib on a regular basis. The kids I babysit for (set of triplets) just use printed sheets and the kids can get those sheets gross pretty quick- so that's my other point of reference.

The exploding diapers (and that stuff I found stains pretty bad) and vommit will destroy the nice crips white bedding. On a positive note, you could bleach them and hopefully the stains come out. You will not have that crisp bright white look though for long...IMO not a practical choice.

I think white can be very practical - especially with the bleach option. Plus, you don't have to worry about fading with white colors.
