Happy so far! Amazon basics have been pretty good for me, with a ton of colors and patterns, but I know some reviews question the quality of the seam stitching so there may be some inconsistency there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917708 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:58:23 +0000 PinkElephant 2917708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: I'll be contrary here and say that the 100% cotton Pillowfort sheets have NOT worked on my kids' deep mattresses - it is a struggle to get the fitted sheet on! The "microfiber" (polyester) ones have been fine fit-wise. They wouldn't be my first choice of fabric, but my kids were gifted a set each and really like that silky, airy feel.</p> <p>The "Room Essentials" jersey sets are 100% cotton (but stretchy, like a t-shirt) and might be out in some cute prints right now for the college crowd.</p> <p>ETA: I'm with you on not buying PBK - I've cleaned way too much nail polish, marker, putty/slime, puke, etc. out of sheets to think it's worth spending so much on toddler/elementary age bedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917700 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 19:23:30 +0000 meadow 2917700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bakingdoodle: @catgirl: @bhbee: @ilovepie: excellent I had half cotton ones picked out &amp; swapped the rest from my cart. Thx for the advice!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917698 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 18:59:35 +0000 jhd 2917698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: we have Threshold sheets from target and have been happy with them. I already had a duvet cover from ikea that I wanted to use in DS’s room, so I just got solid color sheets from target to match. Holding up well after two years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917696 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 16:00:35 +0000 ilovepie 2917696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pillow fort kids too and neglected to check for 100% cotton because I assumed that anything for kids would be cotton. Definitely check. </p> <p>I also got these from the normal sheet section at Target a few years ago for a little boy's train room. We told him they were train track print and he was happy. </p> [attach=10426/20/qe3h10.450x600.IMG_20200726_165758.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917694 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 12:28:22 +0000 bhbee 2917694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with above! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917693 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 11:48:36 +0000 catgirl 2917693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bakingdoodle: same. They have some sets that are 100% cotton and some that are polyester. We buy the 100% cotton ones and have been very pleased with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917691 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 11:39:04 +0000 bakingdoodle 2917691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the pillowfort from Target but only when it's 100% cotton.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-sheets#post-2917690 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 11:05:30 +0000 meadow 2917690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we are moving our twin 4yos into their big kid beds real soon.</p> <p>I'm getting ready to order sheets (6 sets/3 per child)... I don't have high end taste......but just want to see if anyone has liked pillowfort sheets from target? I like the $20 price point (versus PBK where $20 gets you one pillow case :( ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086590 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:48:45 +0000 babynumber1 2086590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO converted to a toddler bed at 23 months. We bought a toddler comforter and sheets from Target. They don't have characters on them, but do have owls.<br /> She started sleeping with a quilt and pillow around 16 months, it gets chilly in her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086446 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:50:30 +0000 Chillybear 2086446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: That's what spurred this thinking.... I got an email from land of nod about their bedding on sale </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086439 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:47:08 +0000 dolphin 2086439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 26 months and using a toddler pillow and an A&amp;A dream blanket. When we convert to a twin bed in a few months I plan on getting her a bigger blanket and matching bed set. I've seen some cute ones at Land of the Nod. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086428 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:55 +0000 Chillybear 2086428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I think I'm probably going to have to go the DIY route too. I wish i had bought more yardage of the prints i used in her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086427 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:01 +0000 Chillybear 2086427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at this point her blanket is a A&amp;A stroller blanket (its like 2 swaddles sewn together). I dont think she full gets the concept of a blanket yet. When I asked at her 15m appointment the Dr was pretty adamant no fluffy pillows/blankets until after 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086414 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:30:13 +0000 avivoca 2086414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using a blanket since 12 months, and just recently she started sleeping with a doll and a beanie dog in addition to her blanket and paci.</p> <p>ETA: The blanket is an A&amp;A blanket. When she's two, I'll move into toddler bedding. She will be using the quilt I made her while I was pregnant, which is toddler sized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-toddler-bedding#post-2086410 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:29:10 +0000 Chillybear 2086410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably thinking about this way ahead of the game. When did your toddler start using a pillow and a "comforter" blanket? and when did you transition to toddler rails instead of a crib?</p> <p>We purchased a crib that has toddler rails and hope to transition to that before we give her a twin/full size bed, We are no where near ready to make this transition yet as she's not even 18 months but i'm thinking it will probably happen this time next year. </p> <p>Where did you purchase your toddler's bedding? do they make Crib mattress size sheet sets (pillowcase, top sheet, fitted sheet) and is it possible to find a cute comforter with out a character on it? I dont plan on changing the decor in her nursery unless we move. </p> <p>just wondering how that all worked </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342794 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 15:23:16 +0000 Mommy Finger 1342794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And now I just remembered that I forgot his blanket for nap too.

Luckily they have extras cause my horrible day care napper probably wouldn't nap all day there otherwise. She even came home in an extra outfit cause she went through all her extra outfits due to spit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342694 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 15:06:16 +0000 looch 1342694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, my daycare doesn't keep spares, so I didn't send it, I'd have to bring it!<br /> But I've forgotten his cup, his tuition check, his change of clothes, his swimsuit on water play days, etc, etc. It's okay, give yourself permission to move on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342686 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 15:04:20 +0000 blackbird 1342686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've forgotten bottles and food and extra clothes. i even put the wrong diaper on her once. </p> <p>Totally not what makes you a bad mom. These are just things we forget because we are human beings who have lots on our plates. If being a 100% mom involves never forgetting anything, ever, we are all screwed as a society. I bet your LO slept just fine without it, so cut yourself some slack! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342596 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:47:56 +0000 edelweiss 1342596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i forgot his bottles. twice. you know, the stuff that was his sole source of nourishment and subsistence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342581 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:43:44 +0000 purrpletulips 1342581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing it all can be hard, don't worry about. Daycares are great for keeping spares, DD used to come home in clothes that weren't hers because she had gone through all I sent in a day (usually from getting messy outside/during craft). Once she went through 3 crib sheets in a day and I had only sent 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342574 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:42:26 +0000 mrbee 1342574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also forget the blanket/sheet all the time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-fail-1#post-1342568 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:40:58 +0000 Alivoo01 1342568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forget things all the time too! It's hard to get everything ready and out the door on time in the mornings with a LO! I pack the night before, and still leave somethings at home.

It is a small thing, but it's one of the moments I feel like I dropped the ball and I am guilty of not being 100% present..... </p> <p>Husband is traveling this week, and I am doing both drop off and pick ups at daycare (he usually does drop offs). And just now at 2:20pm, I suddenly realized I forgot to bring his blanket and sheet for naptime!!! </p> <p>Daycare didn't call me (naptime began at 12:30pm) so I assume they have back up and everything should be fine ... but I am so guilty that I feel like I am not being a 100% mom :( I don't even dare to tell my husband.</p> <p>Sorry, just a rant that I need to get it off my chest :(</p> <p>Did you ever forget anything for daycare? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-crib-sheets#post-488321 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:10:01 +0000 Thenetexan 488321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2, LO is 13 + months. I have never needed a third. I do try to launder it the day it gets dirty though. DS is not a drooler, our biggest issue now is the diaper not holding in all the pee since he sleeps 11 or 12 hours. Even still, his winter sleep sack stays dry on the outside so I consider the sheets clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-crib-sheets#post-488313 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:08:40 +0000 Minnie_Girl 488313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One because we're cheapskates. :P It's all we really "need," though two would be nice. You may need more if you don't do the laundry every/other day. </p>
