How many sheet sets do I get?

[organicem]

Thanks girls. My bassinett's a bit bigger and I can't tuck nappy in I could probably use the muslin wrap on top of the sheets instead

That is what I do and it works fine!!

I had 2 fitted bassinet sheets and have 2 fitted cot sheets. I bought them at baby bunting as a 2 pack of bassinet fitted sheets and individual for cot fitted sheets.

I have also always put cloth nappy under head in bassinet and cot, only stopped at about 7 months.


if your bassinet is too big to use a cloth nappy you could wrap a cotton bunny rug ariund mattress and tuck in.

Good luck

i just use folded up cot flat sheets in the bassinette! tucked in of course!! saves buying bassinette or cradle sheets

At a pinch you can always just fold a flat single sheet in half for a cot. I had waaaay too many sheets for our cots... but you can often have never enough if they get a bout of gastro. I'd say buy 3 sets of fitted cot sheets and about 3 flat single bed sheets to have on reserve. You will use them eventually when your child moves into their single bed. Looking back the time spent in a cot was so brief. Sad really, I miss using my cot.

ETA: ah I forgot you were asking about bassinette sheets... but yes, no more than 3 I'd say. I had too many of them too. Infact do you want some? PM me if you ever run out! Otherwise I'll be keeping them until I'm a grandma! LOL

I just use the cot sheets in the bassinet - just need to tuck them in a bit more under the mattress, saves buying two different sizes. We dont use a top sheet as we have our baby in a sleeping bag with a blanket tucked in on cold nights

I reckon having 3 is the go - one to use, one in the wash and a spare
