But before you get started, you'll need to know a few things. Like what are your options as far as bedding design? And where is the best place to purchase baby girl bedding? Keep reading to find out more.
What makes girls baby bedding different?
Sweet and pretty images are usually associated with baby girls and these images and colors are what makes baby girl crib bedding so different from boys or unisex bedding. The designs often used on girls baby bedding are flowers, birds, butterflies, princesses, ladybugs and fairies. But the main differentiation for girls bedding is the colors used. Pink baby bedding is typically associated with girls as is anything in lavender or peach. You can also find bedding for girls in multi-colored pastels.
How much will I spend on baby girl crib bedding?
It highly depends on the quality you want and where you end up buying it, but baby girl bedding can run from around 50 dollars to 300 dollars for a full crib set. If you want to purchase the bedding in pieces, you're looking at around 10 dollars for a fitted crib sheet and everything goes up from there. Shopping online and looking for sales can often save you money.
What to look for in a baby girl bedding
When you start shopping for girls baby bedding, the main things that you definitely want to look for are the quality, ease of cleaning, the design of the bedding and of course price. Probably the most important aspect is quality. Your baby girl will spend a lot of time on her bedding and it should be up for regular wear and tear.
The ease of cleaning is something that may not seem important now, but it will become important as your child has accidents along the way. The design is obviously important because it will set the tone for your baby girl's nursery and as always price is important for most people.
To avoid having to replace bedding items later, go ahead and get higher quality crib bedding that will last a long time at the outset. Remember that your baby will sleep a lot in the first few months and all of that sleeping will be done on the same bedding, so its important to choose something that will endure. It's also important when it comes to your baby girl's safety. Cheap bedding is easily torn or can come loose at the stitches, creating a strangulation hazard for your child.
You'll probably know good quality when you see it, but some signs of higher quality in girls baby bedding are 100% cotton or cotton poly blend fabric, tight strong stitching on the comforter and around the seams of every piece, non-fade colors, high thread count or thicker to the feel sheets and comforter and designs that are embroidered or sewn on versus printed on (except for crib sheets which are usually all printed.)
As your baby girl spends time in her crib, occaisionally there will be spills on the bedding. Drool, spitup or other body fluids will seep onto crib sheets and other bedding pieces. When this happens, you'll want to clean up immediately. These kinds of messes can harbor bacteria. So it's best to choose baby girl crib bedding that is made for the washing machine and dryer. You won't have the time (nor will you want to) handwash your baby's soiled bedding, so the easiest thing to do is just pick crib bedding that is simply thrown in the washer anytime it gets dirty.
Price is another thing to look out for and it will vary depending on where you buy the bedding (departement store versus online for example.) If you're concerned about price, think of buying bedding in a set or just getting the pieces you need (like a fitted crib sheet) instead of every piece that's offered. But baby bedding does go on sale too, so perhaps if you want a more expensive design you can wait and get it on sale at a later time. As far as designs go, you really can find almost any nursery theme you can imagine printed on baby girl bedding. Bigger stores or internet stores will have large selections so you can see what's available.
Different Design Options for Baby Girl Crib Bedding
These days girls baby bedding comes in all kinds of different colors, designs and motifs. Whatever theme you decide for the bedding will flow over into the overall theming for your baby girl's nursery. So it's a good idea to think about the type of nursery theme you envision for your daughter's nursery before you go online or set foot in a store. What colors and shades do you want to use? Will you be going with a graphic like flowers or animals? Maybe you want to stick to a classic design like polka dots or gingham? You can browse if you have a general idea, but it's best to think about it first before you buy.
Ask yourself these questions and develop the nursery theme in your mind. This will really help when you're shopping for baby girl bedding because it will help you buy only things that will go with your theme and match the colors you've chosen. That way you won't end up with a crib sheet, a comforter and a crib ruffle that don't match. Now that you are set to do some internet shopping or go to the store, you will discover that there are lots of designs that meet the criteria that you're looking for. Just as an example, if you want pink baby bedding and you've chosen two shades of pink as the nursery colors, you can find many many designs that will fit with your colors.
While we can't go over all of your choices for girls baby bedding here, the most popular themes are fairytale characters like princesses and fairies, animals like birds, turtles, bears, lambs and elephants, insects like ladybugs, butterflies or dragonflies, and well known characters such as Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella, or Belle.
Another option is to get girls bedding in a simple design like stripes, paisley, polka dots or gingham. Pink baby bedding is the most common choice for girls, but designs are available in multi-color, purple and peach too. Whatever design and colors you choose, keep in mind that this is what your baby girl will see as she drifts off to sleep and when she wakes in the morning.
Where to buy girls baby bedding
Lots of different places carry baby girl bedding, so you have a lot of choices when it comes to shopping. One of the best places to find a big variety and reasonable prices is on the internet. You can search for different designs and brands and even compare other parents' reviews. There are many websites that sell baby bedding exclusively and you can also shop the bigger retailer's websites to find sales or clearance items.
In addition, you can shop for baby girl bedding at retailers like Target, Walmart and even TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Department stores like Macys, Sears and JC Penney also carry some bedding and you can check out stores like Potter Barn Kids too. If you look for bedding at a department store, make sure you know what you want to buy before you go in because it's easy to be tempted into purchasing a whole nursery while you're there.
