You want to make sure that you nursery is ready for your baby boy when he’s ready to come home from the hospital. As a future parent, there are endless decisions to be made including colors of the nursery, what theme is appropriate and fun, and what items are essential such as crib bedding. You may wonder which of the many pieces of bedding available are really necessary, and which ones you shouldn’t buy.

You must separate safe and unsafe decor items for your baby’s first year, choose what is necessary and save the rest for an older age. First let us examine all the items you will want for your baby boy’s crib – items that will contribute to his comfort.

Diaper leaks and other baby accidents are easily handled with the purchase of a mattress cover for your little boys crib mattress. The fabric of the crib sheets needs to be easily machine washed and dried, and you’ll need at least two sets so that you can change the crib rapidly. Your little boy will also need fitted crib sheets, and again, you’ll want multiples so that you always have a clean one handy.

Crib bumper pads are an item of some controversy recently: they keep baby’s body parts from getting stuck between the rails, but they can also be a suffocation hazard. Boys crib bedding sets comes in colors and patterns that are cute but still appropriate for boys, and can be included in your baby registry. Some of the baby bedding sets include mesh crib guards, which address the concern of suffocation and have lately become available in most baby stores.

Stay away from some of the unsafe items that aren’t necessary for your initial baby bedding. Blankets should not be used in the crib because they present a choking risk, and pillows do as well; both blankets and pillows are better used elsewhere in the nursery.

If a set of crib bedding includes the usual decorative items, as many sets do, let your baby use them only outside the crib, and only with supervision; you may prefer to simply put those pieces away until your baby boy is a toddler.

Older members of your family may suggest the use of heirloom crib sets, but you should tell them that ideas about baby safety have changed over time. You can keep your baby boy safe when he sleeps if you select the proper items for his crib now.
