Crib Sheet : What is it?
| Crib sheets line cribs and protect the baby’s skin from chafing against the mattress or crib walls. They are often included in crib bedding sets with cushions, blankets, and bumpers, although some are also sold separately. Crib sheets come in various colors and patterns and can be made of different fabrics such as cotton, silk, wool, or jersey knits. |

Kinds of crib sheets include the following: |
Flat Crib Sheets Flat Crib Sheets have straight sides and corners that are tucked under the mattress. They require less maintenance and can fit most mattress sizes. They tend to get pulled loose when the baby moves or stirs. Fitted Crib Sheets Fitted Crib Sheets are sewn with garters or elastic bands at the edges to let them cling to the sides of the mattress.They are usually fit specific mattress sizes and can create lumps when folded over small mattresses. They are more secure than flat sheets and are ideal for babies who move a lot.

Size. Choose a crib sheet that covers your entire mattress, leaving some allowance for folding and tucking. The sheet must extend a few inches along the bottom of the mattress for a secure fit. Look for stretchable fabrics to fit over large mattresses or irregular shapes. Material. Choose a crib sheet made of soft but durable cloth. Make sure there are no buttons or zippers on the fabric that can snag and scratch your baby’s skin. Look for organic cotton fabrics if your baby has sensitive skin or is prone to allergic reactions.
