Crib Linens

There are many crib sheet sets you can buy: matching bumpers, sheets, quilt, etc. for medium to very high prices. I think these are unnecessary, especially since you are not really supposed to have anything extraneous in a newborn's crib anyway. I would recommend getting the bare minimum and saving the expensive matching sets for when your child is old enough to use all the parts. I would just buy a mattress pad and a few crib sheets, perhaps one in flannel or fleece for cold weather and one in plain cotton for warmer weather.

I tried "The Ultimate Crib Sheet" and gave mine away. It didn't cover the sides of the mattress and was a hassle to put on. I would also stay away from anything called "jersey," "knit," or "woven," since they tend to stretch out and pull.
