I have fitted sheets and that's all. I have some blankets, but the baby can't really use them right away for sleeping.

All I have is a couple fitted velour sheets and sleep sacks.

We just have a fitted sheet. LO uses sleep sacks.

Don't spend that kind of money on a set!! I got a set on eBay, so it was pretty cheap, but the bumper and blanket were such a waste. Come to think of it, so were the included changinf pad covers because i had a cooshee changer. Did use the blanket as a play blanket sometimes.

I bought fabric and my aunt made me fitted sheets and a crib skirt. I made a blanket out of squares of the fabrics too. I didn't see any sets I loved that were affordable and I didn't want a bumper either. I did look on etsy and there are lots of sellers who will customize a set for you with nice fabrics and then you can decide the # of sheets, if you want a bumper, etc. They can even make boppy covers or changing pad covers.

We didn't have a bedding set. Just a fitted sheet!

We only bought fitted sheets. I'm not even sure if we're going to buy a crib skirt. We aren't planning on buying bumpers either.

We also only bought 3 fitted sheets. Everything else was just to fussy.

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.

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.

We just have a few fitted sheets.

@mrs. bird: Those are seriously so cute! Definitely gonna check them out!

I cannot get over how long I stressed over this.

It was seriously insane how much crib bedding sets cost!

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.....!

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.

@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.

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..

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.

We have three fitted sheets and I just ordered fabric to make a crib skirt. I picked only patterned sheets since I do think crib bedding can add a lot to a room design wise, but we are not going to use a bumper.

We just have two fitted sheets.

We just got a few fitted crib sheets

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!
