So, you have the cot, the pram, the cradle, and
all the other main items that you will need for
your new arrival. Now, it's time to think about
the bedding side of things. There are many
different types of bedding and blankets available
and sometimes it can be confusing as to what you
actual need or what each is for. Below is a quick
guide that will point you in the right direction
when searching for baby bedding.

Cot Sheet Designed to line the cot, these cot
sheets come in various sizes, colors and
materials. You can also choose from having fitted
baby cot sheets or flat sheets. A fitted sheet
won't ruffle and come away from the mattress but
can be difficult to fit if the mattress is stiff
and heavy. Flat sheets are often used as a top
sheet along with a blanket. They can be used on
the bottom also, but tend to move around as your
baby moves. Flanlette cot sheets are a popular
option for flat sheets as are very soft, whereas
cotton is the preferred material for fitted
sheets as they can be washed at high temperatures
and don't require ironing.

Cot Bumper Cot bumper are soft pads that are
attached to the sides of the cot and are designed
to give babies extra protection from the hard
sides. However, the safety aspect of these
features is questionable as they may be linked to
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), so please
carry out your own research before purchasing.

Bassinet Sheet These come in fitted or flat baby
cot sheets styles and many will also double up to
fit in a pram when sitting flat. They tend to be
made of cotton as are cool and long lasting, but
fleece bassinet sheets are a more popular choice
for the winter.

Cradle Sheet Cotton cradle sheet are the most
popular choice for parents as they are long
lasting, can be washed at high temperatures and
don't require you to iron them. Polyester is
another material that is quite often used for
cradle sheets as they are very soft to touch and
are thick and warm too so are great for those
cooler evenings. You can even get flannel and
velour cot sheets if you are looking for
something slightly different.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a few suitable
options for your newborn baby. There are lots of
great deals online for baby cot sets Australia
where you can pick up sets for next to nothing.

suitable for all weather, for example a cotton
cot sheet for the summer and fleece cot sheet for
the winter to help your baby remain happy and
healthy.
