Cotton sheets and blankets are traditional cot bedding choices for parents. This is because using cot blankets and cot sheets gives a parent the ability to keep their baby at the perfect temperature through adding or removing layers when needed.
Parents can even make their own cot sheets by cutting down sheets from a regular adult sized bed if they don't want to buy those made specifically for a cot. For parents who wish to buy their own cot bedding there are some great choices which are available in shops and also online via the internet.
Remember to use specially sized sheets if you use a pram, carrycot or moses basket. This bedding is smaller than normal cot-sized bedding. Usually, you should begin with around four sheets and three blankets.
This number lets you to have enough spare sheets and blankets ready if you need to make a speedy change. Sheets are usually made of the following different fabrics: brushed flannelette (which is warm to the touch), traditional cotton, cotton jersey or stretch cotton terry.
Stretchy fitted sheets are practical bedding choices because they are unlikely to come untucked during the night and are easy to take on and off.
You can use acrylic cellular cot blankets, which wash really well, rather than the cotton ones if your baby's nursery is quite cool. Don't forget to check if traditional wool blankets you get are machine-washable.
This is because you will find yourself washing your baby's cot bedding many times over and having dry clean only baby bedding would not be practical at all.
Cuddly fleece blankets, which are made from polyester, are also very popular and can be used in prams and strollers during colder weather, but be careful if you use them indoors as they can become too warm.
