In the beginning, things like pillows, comforters, and quilts, as can be found in many bedding sets, are not really needed for your baby.
There’s also a big controversy going on when it comes to the use of bumpers. In the end it comes down to what you feel is the right choice.
If you do decide that a bumper will protect your child, go with a thinner design. Thick, fluffy bumpers are much more of a suffocation hazard than these thinner ones.
In the first year of your baby’s life all he or she really needs is sheets, a mattress, and maybe a bed skirt. Anything fluffy or heavy in your child’s crib can end up becoming a suffocation hazard.
However, you might be concerned about your baby staying warm at night. For that purpose consider using an organic blanket or sleep sac to swaddle your baby in. If you wrap your baby snugly you will avoid the risk of suffocation.
So, what do you do with the comforter or quilt that came in the baby bedding set? They make great accessories for your baby’s nursery.
You probably bought a bedding set that matches the theme of your nursery and can now display the quilt on the nursery wall or simply hang it on a quilt rack or over the crib’s side when your baby isn’t sleeping there.
If you purchase a complete set in the beginning, you will not have to worry about finding the matching items later when your toddler can use the comforter.
If you’d rather keep it simple in the beginning with just the sheets and such, purchasing a bedding set later will allow you to give the nursery a fresh new look.
