How do you have your crib mattress set up for baby? Are you using the ultimate crib sheet or layering with a mattress pad then sheet and do multiple layers? Just curious as to what works from other mom's!
We are just doing a crib sheet.. and I plan on buying a sheet saver at walmart to lay LO on. That way if she messes or does anything under her I just have to take that out of the crib and replace it without the hassle of changing a sheet at 3 am.

Im not a mommy yet, so Im learning too, but DH and I have the mattress, a waterproof matress pad, and a sheet. I heard somewhere, you want the mattress to be on the firm side (having to do with SIDS) and so we didnt want too many layers.... HTH... Good luck!
this method worked well with DS. the sheet saver caught any pee accidents/poop explosions. i just removed it & added another-no need to change the sheet. i heard the ultimate crib sheet is great, but i never had a need to buy it.

We use a fitted waterproof mattress pad and then the sheet. I'll probably put a small towel or other kind of barrier beneath DD's bottom at night too, just to protect from leaks and blowouts.
Our mattress is waterproof, but I like the pad because it adds an extra layer of protection (I'd rather put on a new pad than scrub the mattress in the middle of the night) and because it's softer and less crinkly than the sheet over bare mattress.

With DD and with this one we'll do the waterproof mattress protector and a sheet. I have two of each so quick change if need be. Honestly only once or twice I had to change it in the middle of the night. I agree too with above too many "layers" will soften the mattress when you want it firm.
Re: Crib Mattress pad, sheets, etc??
waterproof pad, sheet, then sheet saver,

We are using this! Got one starter set and a bunch of zip sheets...friends swear by these!
This is what we are using as well.
