I bought the blanket because it is large enough to be used with a toddler bed. I also bought 3 sets of matching toddler sheets/pillow cases as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do/page/2#post-562073 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:57:23 +0000 luckypenny 562073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I thought I'd rather use the money for something else. My mom bought us a crib skirt but I didn't like how it looked on our crib and we don't use bumpers. I buy the target Circo crib sheets. So cute! Save your money :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do/page/2#post-562004 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:19:12 +0000 sarac 562004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I didn't spend big money on a set - I think they're a crazy waste of money. You don't use the bumper or half of it. I bought some pretty fitted sheets, my mother made me a simple but beautiful crib skirt, and that was it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do/page/2#post-561962 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:59:13 +0000 jh524 561962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks to everyone who commented! I'm so glad I asked this question before buying a whole set. I ended up following everyone's advice, and bought the crib skirt, sheets and I found a blanket off etsy that coordinates with my theme. Thanks!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do/page/2#post-559080 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:47:44 +0000 JoeysMama 559080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have about three fitted sheets and a crib skirt. We only use sleep sacks now but I have been gifted about ten baby blankets so far so we will be ready once the time comes!</p> <p>@mrs. bird: Totally adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do/page/2#post-559075 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:44:32 +0000 loveisstrange 559075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a set and we have used it all. We used the bumpers until she was 9 months old and learned to stand and now that she's older, she sleeps with the blanket. It was worth it to us and we used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do/page/2#post-559066 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:36:27 +0000 Periwinkle 559066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a bedding set from PB Kids but it came with a quilt (which we hung on the wall) instead of a bumper. I also bought an additional fitted sheet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558942 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 13:52:48 +0000 PrincessBaby 558942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did not do the bumper due to suffocation warnings, which makes crib bedding WAY less fun! So I just stuck to cute sheets from PBK,. You will change sheets fairly often due to spit up. Or worse accidents! Our crib has heavy wood detail on the bottom, so we didn't do a crib skirt. I think I just spent about $20 per crib sheet at PBK and we have 4 or 5 total. The rest of her nursery has lots of cutesy stuff so the crib bedding is just enough to accent it. I originally thought crib bedding was like the MAIN thing/focal point, but once you take away the bumper and the skirt, it's a lot less fun. And a lot less money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558937 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 13:48:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 558937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have cute skip hop sets at tj maxx right now!

Just got a crib skirt and three fitted sheets. It was all about $150 from Pottery Barn Kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558840 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:29:56 +0000 rawrasaur 558840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just have two fitted sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558830 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:13:27 +0000 dojo 558830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few fitted sheets (2 from pbk and an aden + anais one) and a crib skirt - considering ordering a matching blanket in the future </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558804 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:52:48 +0000 maybebaby 558804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have three fitted sheets and I just ordered fabric to make a crib skirt.

I'm not talented enough to make that kind of stuff myself. It turend out really cute, and I felt much better spending the money on other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558779 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:11:16 +0000 JerricaBenton 558779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a sheet and crib skirt set from Land of Nod and then I got some coordinating sheets from BRU and Aden + Anais. I got the matching blanket from Land of Nod because I knew we could use it later and it looks nice on the rocker for now. I knew I didn't want bumpers and the sets always looked too fussy/uncomfortable to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558776 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:06:09 +0000 sylvie_b 558776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a few fitted sheets and a crib skirt. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558772 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:03:23 +0000 LaineysMom 558772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom bought us a really pretty Glenna Jean set.. But we haven't used any part of it yet.. When I get it together, I'll put the crib skirt on and display the quilt. Some day, when we convert the crib to a toddler bed, I'll put the bumper on.. Crib sets are definitely not a necessity.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558703 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 09:51:53 +0000 mamabolt 558703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought fitted sheets only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558700 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 09:50:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 558700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I love the skikhop sets. I see them on Gilt or Zulily sometimes and totally plan to get a few once we know what the nursery will look like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558678 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 09:41:54 +0000 Mrs. Blue 558678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't find anything I liked so I finally bought some material and my mom &amp; I made the bedding sets. I didn't make bumpers, since they are not recommended anymore for babies. When we get to the point that they are getting arms and legs poked through the crib slats, we'll get breathable bumpers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558471 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 00:11:36 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 558471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up making a sheet and crib skirt but even that is not super cheap. I chose not to do a bumper and I agree that a blanket is not necessary. I found a coordinating blanket at Marshall's that I love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558370 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:50:20 +0000 Weagle 558370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't waste money on a set. We have just sheets, a crib skirt, and use sleep sacks. We do have a cheap set of bumpers, and they were useful to us for a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558329 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:17:22 +0000 Beebug 558329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot get over how long I stressed over this.</p> <p>It was seriously insane how much crib bedding sets cost!</p> <p>I ended up stumbling across a fabric I loved in a store I had no idea carried fabric, bought the whole roll and had what I wanted from a bedding set sewn for me. Less than $100 all-in, I was thrilled.....! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558321 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:08:43 +0000 lemondrop 558321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fitted sheets and a breathable bumper. Even as a newborn, he was always sticking arms and legs through the crib slats, so it let me sleep easier.</p> <p>There were so many other ways I would spend $300. I did a DIY crib skirt off of YHL. And was gifted a ton of blankets and quilts that we put on the floor for tummy time.</p> <p>@mrs. bird: that is so pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558300 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:40:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 558300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just have a few fitted sheets.</p> <p>@mrs. bird: Those are seriously so cute!

They don't match the pink stripes in the skirt exactly but well enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558283 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:29:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 558283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it's time...no bumper for safety reasons, sheets, and maybe a crib skirt if it fits decor wise, but I am loving the skirtless cribs featured in real nurseries. As for blankets just a couple ala carte ones that feel great to the touch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558275 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:21:46 +0000 autumnlove 558275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used a fitted sheet and a crib skirt. We addeda breathable bumper when she was more mobile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crib-bedding-dilemma-what-did-you-do#post-558266 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:06:40 +0000 heffalump 558266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also bought fitted sheets and a breathable bumper. My friend made lo a quilt..... But it just sits on my glider for looks, it doesn't get used. </p>
