Cot sheets - cotton or flanelette?

[Beach Mama]

Hey hun, good question! I would say get both! You need quite a few especially if bubby is chucky so you could be changing them very regularly! I find that flannel ones are much warmer and cosier for them in winter (I think they are still cotton? correct me if Im wrong anyone!) and the normal cotton ones are good when it is hot in summer. We also have a sheepskin underlay that is warm in winter and cool in summer under the sheets on her cot. It is much cooler in old Melbourne town though!!! HtH!

Thanks Tan and Kelly
So, ah, about how many sheets lol! I'm not really sure how many is quite a few Like 5 or 6? Or more?

I would get 2 of each to start with and see how you go. Then if you have 2 in the wash you have 2 back up. Izzy wasn't spewy at all, but I have a friend who changes sheets every day so if you start with that many and then can add as you need them!

Hi!
I used both and basically went with what was on our bed at the time. When we put flannelette, I put them on hers and vice versa. As for how many I had 3 sets of each - one on the bed, one in the wash and one spare. Thats what I was told anyways. Hope that helps.

I use flanelette in winter and cotton in summer - you could use either, it doesn't really matter, but I find that in winter the flannie sheets don't feel so cold to the touch, so when you put them to bed, they don't wake up because their warm little head is being put on cold cotton sheets. I have 3 sets of cot sheets, but will get another summer set soon. You can always use a terry flat folded in half or even a towel for her head to be on, so if she does posset in bed you only have to take that and wash it and not strip the cot kwim?
