protectors and sheets for bassinets

Hi

can anyone help with this question

so far I have one living textiles 'smart-dri' bassinet mattress protector... is that enough? or will I need two? They are about $24 each, and I still need to buy cot ones too, so I don't want too many.

Also how many fitted sheets for the bassinet do you think I will need?

Thanks :D

I don't have or plan to use a bassinet but for my cot I have one mattress protector ATM. My mattress has a waterproof side so I plan on using that rather than the fabric side.

I have to full cot sets both have a fitted and flat sheet and I recently bought 2 more fitted sheets so 4 fitted and 2 top sheets.

I have NO idea if this will be enough but figures I will soon know :lol:

i was querying bassinet sheets before and some one said use pillow slips so yeah how about ya do that :)

I had 2 sets of bassinette sheets and 1 mattress protector. Don't go overboard on bassinette manchester, they really aren't in there for long enough. My boys were only in the bassinette until 2 months as they were really long.
Mattress protectors dry really fast so can be washed and dried in no time. I would say 1 is enough.

squidipa is right, you can use any pillowslip or wrap as a sheet in a bassinette.

NaeNae, you do washing so often with a little baby that 2 or 3 sets of cot sheets should be plenty.:)

I got toweling covered bassinet covers from big w around $8 each, and I use pillowcases over the base and wrap or cover with muslin cloth HTH!!!!!!!!!!

I have 2 bassinet sheets and 2 mattress protectors and same with cot

Thanks so much everyone. You have all helped :)

I've decided to save money! We have one sheet that came with the bassinet so will use that, and then muslin wraps and pillowcases (Good idea!).
I have to stop spending money somewhere... its never-ending isn't it!?
