How many sets of crib sheets do you have?

JennyAnne022776 · April 2011

I don't want to be over-purchase, but I also want to have plenty on hand for any leaking/accidents. So how many fitted sheets did you get?

Thanks!

I think 3, 4 max is enough. Unless you're really lax about doing laundry. lol

I have 3.

Edit: Since you're having twins I'd probably get 4 or 5.

I got one set with the bedding I ordered. Then I registered for two more that will match my set. I figure three is good. I won't open the third set until I need it so I can return it if I decide it's not necessary. I say better to have too many than not enough.

I'm getting two warm weather sheets (for spring/summer) and two flannel sheets (for winter).

I have three sets.

For DD#1 we had four sheet sets and never even took the fourth one out of the package.

I had 2 crib sheets, 2 bassinet sheets and 2 pack and play sheets. ALL cotton.

We do laundry a load of laundry a day, everything is All Free & Clear so everyone's is mixed together.

We had 4 for each crib.

I have one that came with the bedding set and my mom bought the 2 that coordinate with it from my registry. I also have 2 plain white sheets just in case! I got them on a really good sale at Target

Laundry gets done in our house once a week and sometimes OOPS we don't get to it...

I asked several moms about this...I heard 10 would be the safe side. Is that extreme?! I am sure if there is a blow out I'd wash those immediately (once I woke up for good, of course).

Really great tip someone gave me - when you make up the crib put on the mattress pad, then a crib sheet, then another mattress pad, then another crib sheet. Then in the middle of the night when you have a blowout or or spit up everywhere you just strip one set and there's another underneath. I did this both with the PNP and crib.

I had 3 sets of sheets for DD but could have done with just 2.

I think we probably have about 8 but I use the same 4 over and over again. 2 are on while 2 are in the wash. The rest are just in the linen closet waiting to be donated.

I haven't bought any yet for DD2 since she'll be sleeping in the PNP bassinet for the first few months, however, we have 3 fitted sheets for DD1's crib and that has worked out well for us.

LCCollins · April 2011

We have four right now, and I was thinking about picking up two more, but from the sounds of everyone else I think we are in good shape. I might just save my money for something else.

Unless you only do laundry like once a month, then, yes, that sounds extreme.

Take a walk through BRU every once in a while. While we were registering, I saw crib sheets that were on clearance for $5 and picked up a couple. Never hurts! lol

beachgirl10 · April 2011

With 1 DS, I have 4 sheets and have only used 3. Everyone always told me about leaking and blowouts, and to be perfectly honest we have had that problem maybe 5 or 6 times since he has been born. Unless you have crappy or too big/too small diapers, you shouldn't have too many leaks or blowouts.

abell77 · April 2011

I have three, and it's been plenty. I also use a carter's quilted mattress pad under the sheet.

Themetastic · April 2011

We registered for 3.

Ryan&Kristin062009 · April 2011

We have the sheet that came with the bedding, plus 2 extras. Then I added 1 more to our registry because it matched our theme (elephants) was was super cute

So we'll have 4.

fabfive · April 2011

for our b/g twins we got them each 4 fitted sheets and 2 mattress protectors.

with this singleton we will probably have the same.

i get so excited when i see who's having twins! it's such a great (though exhausting at times) experience! enjoy it!!!

Thank you so much! We are definitely ready for the adventure. And thanks for chiming in ladies...I ordered three sheets for each boy and I figured that would be good.
