The Facts About Baby Boy Crib Bedding

By Tonia Michael


When selecting baby boy crib bedding the first and foremost consideration is to make sure it is safe. Even though nursery sets add a lot of cuteness to the room there are several safety considerations when choosing nursery bedding. The danger is that when there are so many unnecessary items inside the sleeping area, the baby has a greater chance of suffocating.

Nursery bedding sets include a coordinated blanket, bumper pad set, sheet and pillow. Make sure that the crib sheet fits snugly on the mattress. Blankets are usually thick and puffy and will look good if you hang it on the wall as a decoration. If you prefer to use a blanket, buy one that is lightweight so it does not get in the way of breathing. Pillows should not be used in the crib as it also is a safety hazard.

Bumper pads surround the edges of the mattress and protect the limbs from getting stuck between the slats. They are not really necessary but are still very popular. The danger is that the infant may get caught between the bumper and the crib side or strangulate in the strings. A safer choice is the ones that are available that surround each slat or those made of mesh that create a breathable surface. If choosing a traditional bumper pad set be sure the strings are between seven and nine inches long. Avoid using the really fluffy, overstuffed pads. Thinner pads serve the purpose just as well. When baby is able to stand, remove the pads from the crib.

Nursery sets are designed in a large number of patterns whether you want a whimsical pattern or one that is more classic. Nursery bedding sets are available for purchase at hundreds of online sites. You will also find a bountiful selection of styles at local department stores.

Many of the most popular patterns come from a Disney theme. One favorite choice is the Winnie the Pooh line which is offered in an array of colors. A Mickey Mouse theme has always been a Disney favorite and is available in shades of blue. The Disney cars theme is great for a racing car fanatic.

Combining an animal theme into the nursery decor is a favorite way to decorate. Teddy bears and jungle animals work great as does and under the sea fishy theme. Whether you prefer pastel or bold, bright colors there is something to please everyone.

If you prefer, simply choose coordinated colors and stay away from a theme altogether. You can decorate using pictures, letters or other decor items. It is easy to personalize the nursery with your own creative ideas.

Every parent wants to make sure their nursery is a fun and peaceful place for their new bundle of joy. As a parent, you want your baby to be surrounded by things he loves but also to keep him safe. When choosing your baby boy crib bedding keep in mind the safety issues and you will be sure to design the perfect place for slumber and play.
