I think I have 3 for W's crib...but I like 2 the best, so I rarely use the 3rd . Also, a great tip someone gave me, b/c its a pain to change crib sheets, and even more of a pain if it's the middle of the night and LO has thrown up or had a diaper blow-out: buy the same # of mattress pads as you have sheets. Then, put them ALL on the mattress (pad--sheet--pad--sheet--pad--sheet etc). When the top sheet gets soiled, you just take it and the top mattress pad off...and voila, the crib is still "made"!
I will be getting 2 or 3 fitted sheets, 1 mattress pad, and 2 Ultimate Crib Sheets. Here's how I will use them: mattress pad-->1 fitted sheet-->1 Ultimate Crib Sheet. When the Ultimate Crib Sheet is soiled in the middle of the night, I will simply remove it and replace it with the spare.
Re: Crib Question
We have 3 for DS. Two are the pattern that matches the rest of nursery, and the other one is just a plain cotton jersey sheet..
Around 5 months old, DS became too distracted by the pictures on his sheets to nap, so I had to buy a plain colored sheet for him. Ha ha.
