3. Until two weeks or so ago we'd only ever had one motn sheet change needed. Then stomach flu hit.

more than 4 but I went through a crib sheet making phase last year! I think I have 8-9? I had two sheets I rotated for LO 1 at home and one for daycare during her first year.

Just one for each of my kids and their cribs. But we're cheap around here.

I registered for 3, but ended up with 4. We would have been fine with 2 or 3.
What I need more of is changing pad covers - sometimes we can't even get through the week with 3 b/c LO likes to do alligator rolls during diaper changes.

Uh, 8? For two cribs, though. It's overkill, honestly, because we do laundry so frequently that we've never had more than one set dirty at a time. I think two (per baby) is probably sufficient.

None yet but we ordered one that is being made and have a two pack on the registry I like changing up the look! They are all different.

4 - i bought 3 that matched the nursery theme and i had been gifted a plain one that i tend to use when LO is sick.

5, but one is at daycare and we really don't use 2 of them. When we converted the crib to a toddler bed we bought new "big boy" sheets. I just never got rid of the old ones.

I probably have about 10 now (for two kids). It's way more than I need lol

I think minimum of 4. 1 in the crib, 2 on standby so you don't feel rushed to do laundry if you need a motn change then 1 for daycare.
I think 7 for you!

We have 6, we only use 2 of them though.
We were given 4 from SIL who had two in cribs/toddler beds at the same time

5 but 2 stay at daycare. And I have used all 3 in 1 night when L got the stomach bug.

I have two on the crib and one in a closet. On the crib mattress I actually have layers...(from bottom to top) mattress cover, sheet, mattress cover, sheet. So if I need to do a quick change it's just a matter of taking off dirty stuff and the bed is already made.

3! I originally figured I only needed two, but am glad I registered for the third. It seems I use and need three of everything in rotation.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
I had 3 for DS. There were only a few times we needed them all (tummy bug) but I was glad we did! DS2 has the 3 hand me downs plus a 4th I got for him -- because when he was born DS1 was still in a crib.

so, so many. probably about 10. I have an oversize cot (boori) and I kept buying sheets that *said* they fit that cot, but were always too small. Then I ordered some online and they were a good fit so I bought more colours.

We have 6 but 3 of them were a set for ds1's nursery so they are packed away. I have 1 warm one that I used during the winter and two that I rotate the rest of the year. So 6 but only one or two are used at any given time.

Like, 10? And we go through them between the two cribs and a kid who frequently throws up at night.

@winniebee: I feel like I learned that here from Mrs. Bee! It's so helpful!

3 technically. Although the third was a gift that wasn't from our registry and I've never opened it.

We have 5, I think. 2 for the crib and 3 for daycare. I think we'd be fine 2, definitely don't need more than 3 for home. We started out doing what @Boogs: does, but we never had an emergency situation so I stopped. Only once or twice have we needed to change the sheets ASAP. But if you have spitters/diaper leakers, then I'd double layer each crib and have another 2 on hand.

4. But typically only use two. LO only naps and spends the first part of the night there, and then goes into the bassinet in our room. It's mostly been just spitup that I have to change the sheets for.
ETA: We have 2 sets of bassinet sheets.

We have 5, 4 cotton and 1 minky for cold weather. Too many cotton, not enough minky. 3 or 4 tops would be plenty.

I have a few flannel material ones for winter and then four or five cotton, and a couple of a&da crib sheets!
