Baby Cribs Vs Other Sleeping Options
One of the most important things you need to keep in mind when shopping for comforter sets is the size of your bed. Although most beds are a fairly standard size the thickness of the mattress can influence the size of the comforter you may want to buy. Measure your bed and write down the dimensions before you shop. You should measure starting from the point that the comforter should reach on one side of the bed. Carry on up over the mattress, and down to the corresponding point on the other side. Also measure the length. This will give you the dimensions you need to look for.
You have to consider whether or not you are looking to have a boy's or a girl's baby bedding set. Boys for example love such things as race cars, machines, animals, air planes, dinosaurs, ships and cartoon characters with such colors as blue or even a shade of red or green. Choose a crib that suits a boy when you are sure you are going to give birth to a baby boy. A girl on the other hand requires a set with a feminine touch to it and something gentle with either pink or white colors that are considered good for a baby girl.
Construction crib Bedding sets for boys is an excellent choice. Construction is the epitome of little boys, who are born with a need to know how to build things and find out things work. Little boys are fascinated with tractors and excavators. Bright colors are also good for a baby. Bright colors are proven to stimulate children's developing brain.
Aside from the above factors which are most important of course, new parents must decide how to assemble the baby bedding set. There are two choices when it comes to this. Each piece can be bought separately, but this tends to be the more expensive route. In our experience, buying a bedding set is the most economical and practical choice. Not to mention, it's easier to match the bedding set with the overall theme of the nursery and there are fewer considerations for color coordination.
You will also need to check with the parents to see what type of crib has been purchased. Some colors go best with certain finished cribs. Also, others will convert to toddler beds, daybeds or full size beds and you will want to coordinate the bedding set to make the overall theme of the room.
Of course, parents have to be particular when it comes to cleaning. Fortunately, most boys bedding sets today are washer friendly, which makes the job somewhat easy. Should the set necessitate a special type of cleaning process, then don't hesitate to do so since this would increase the life of the set, allowing parents to reuse it should there be younger children to come.
Whatever set you choose, be sure your newborn is peaceful, content and, most importantly, happy. And also make sure that your newborn is positioned thus so as not to move or turn over, with proper side pillows. However, even if your set comes with pillows, they should never be put in the crib of a very young baby.
Before we go any further we have to stop and mention the number one rule in deciding on the right bed set "Safety Before Beauty". Long after the allure of all the cute accessories is faded away, the thought of your child's safety will forever be tattooed in your mind and heart. With things out there such as S. I. D. S.(Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) you have to put safety first when deciding how to decorate. We all have the urge to get any and everything colorful, pretty and new, but we have to think about the well being of the child over how well the child's room looks.
