We didn't buy a crib bedding set. I didn't see the point in spending the money when we probably wouldn't use the pieces. We ended up receiving two crib sized quilts as shower gifts and never used either even after we started letting LO use a blanket. We just moved her into a twin bed and took down our crib this weekend (will be putting the crib back up in Sept when #2 arrives) but probably won't be using the crib quilts then either.

It depends on the type of crib you have. If it converts into a toddler bed then you can keep using the bedding even after converting it

I didn't see the point of spending the money. DS got two quilts as gifts from his great grandma and great great aunt, I made him the crib skirt and I'm making his crib sheet. That's all he needs. We hardly use the quilts. We use one as a playmat on his floor, but not for covering up. He is swaddled twice for naps/night so he doesn't even need extra warmth. (nor should they be covered with a blanket for safety reasons)

It was A LOT cheaper for me to customize the skirt myself, and that way I got the theme/look I wanted. If you own a sewing machine - making a skirt is SO easy. It only took me a couple hours

We skipped the crib bedding. We bought the breathable bumpers and we have several fitted sheets. My MawMaw made a quilt for DS and it is large enough for him to use when we make the switch to a toddler bed.

@cyneswith: If its a theme you want to carry on through toddler hood then it'll definitely work for the toddler bed!

I kept & used DS's as an extra blanket until he was too long for it! Pre-K Jammie day it went with him and then it also became useful for tents around the house!

I say it's got as much worth as you want it too!

My friend made me a quilt, so I didn't buy any bedding. She made two separate ones though, one is crib sized (which we don't really need, it just sits on the glider), and the other is for a toddler bed, along with a pillow sham.
