crib bedding options

April 25, 2012

I had my heart set on this DwellStudio pattern when I was decorating Levi’s nursery. All I wanted were the crib bumper and sheets, but at the time, the pattern was only available as a full crib set that included a sheet, a bumper, a crib skirt and a play blanket. Wouldn’t you know that now you can buy DwellStudio’s modern Skyline crib bedding and accessories individually? Go figure!

(Truth be told, I’m not sure I would still by the bumper…or any bumper, for that matter. I’m beginning to fully realize what a pain in the ass it is to have to remove it from the crib every time I want to change Levi’s sheet. Having a bumper may prevent Levi from throwing his pacifiers overboard, but is it really worth the hassle? I don’t know…)

However, had this product had been on the market last year, I might have taken Levi’s nursery design in a different direction. Skip Hop’s Complete Sheet features two complementary patterns – one on top and one around the sides – to give the illusion of a bumper. How genius is that? For parents who follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’s guidelines to not use a crib bumper but still like the look of one, this double-duty sheet would make a fantastic decorative alternative. Best of all, at $24 each, the Complete Sheet is not that expensive!

Tell me: Do you use a crib bumper or go bumper-less?

    Actually there’s been a whole lot of literature coming out about the dangers of crib bumpers:

    And the American Academy of Pediatrics has warned against them since articles about them causing injury and death have been published:

    Hope I don’t come across as harsh or preachy but I know some people haven’t heard about this yet!

    Bumperless! Specifically due to it being way too hard to change cribsheets with one on. However, baby does *not* sleep in her crib as yet. sigh. Hopefully, we’ll still get to use it as a toddler bed at some point. Hate to think we bought a pretty crib for nothing!

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend!

Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about.
