Cot Sheet Sets

[Bathsheba]

We never bought cot sets... just folded single sheets in half... but we were given some with those little pillow cases... my mum just bought some wadding and made up a pillow to size... easy as.

I use the pillowcase to store the clean set in - I do the same with all of our linen when not being used so I can find the whole matching set in one go. As I don't use a pillow for the cot sets (yet) the one matching the set in use just stays in the ironing basket until I wash the matching set (with all my odd socks!). Then they get folded and stored in the pillowcase.

With the top sheet, until they are older I keep one in the nappy bag as a ground cover/change table/ shadecloth.... and another in the boot of the car for the same reason.

Hey Sequoia!

We didn't use our top sheets for ages either. But we do a bit now, like when it's hot miss L might just have a top sheet on. Also, like Spooky, we use ours over the change table when I'm washing the cover for that.
As for teeny weeny pillows, we got ours from baby road I think.

ps. How funny if we are both in hospital at the same time!!

I use my top sheets just as much as my fitted.. If the fitted one is in the wash I use the flat sheet just tucked in around the mattress, like you would a fitted sheet. I only use the pillow cases to store the linen out of that set, so they are nice and neat in the cupboard.

I use a terry cloth nappy over the cover on the change table, I just tuck it in underneath. Will try Babyroad for the pillow, ta.

OMG! I would love if we were there at the same time! If Chris is away, maybe Simon will be running between birthing suites, hehe!

I always used to use the top sheet, I would use that to tuck him in nice and firmly as I didnt ever wrap him

I used the top sheets to fold over the top of Charlie's blanket and save it from vomit. A blanket was hand knitted out of pale pink baby wool for her and she used to chuck non stop. I also use the top sheets as a bottom sheet in an emergency (AKA moving house and DP packing misc items into random boxes)

I use the pillow case (unstuffed) under his head to catch the dribble & spew - If there's not too much it saves me having to change the bottom sheet. I use the flat sheet as a bottom sheet too, but once he starts moving he'll might untuck it.
