I want to make a baby blanket for my boss (she’s having a girl) and I was wondering how big I should plan on making it.
I always went for a larger size (around 36"x48" was my favorite), because they’d be usable as nap blankies for several years, assuming they didn’t wear out first. But that’s personal preference, and anything from about 30"x30" on up works fine.
I’ve heard that the regular crib bumpers aren’t necessarily good if baby were to put it’s face against it and have a hard time breathing, as well as those big and bulky crib comforters that come in sets being too much material for the baby. If this is correct, wouldn’t it make more sense to just buy a breathable crib bumper and maybe a blanket the weight of a receiving blanket and some sleepers? And of course sheets as well. But how many sheets should I buy?
I only used sheets and sleepers for my daughter for the longest time! You don’t need all that junk right away, especially since most people will tell you it’s dangerous anyways. I got bumper pads only recently for my daughter since she pokes her arms and legs through the crib bars and gets caught ALL THE TIME, but she is old enough and strong enough to turn away from the corners. I also keep a blanket underneath her now, but it is tucked in so that she doesn’t get tangled in it.
Is white an ok color for baby bedding or are colored sheets/blankets best?
of course, if your worried about spit up stains then I suggest laying receiving blankets down right where the baby sleeps, so if anything leaks (hah), you just have to pick up the small receiving blankey and throw it in the wash instead of the entire sheet set . white works when you use my technique:-)
good luck

========== ***LYRICS*** ==========
(Intro)
I`m gonna wear you to the ball tonight
Put on your best dress tonight
(Verse 1)
Did you hear what the man said baby
Well be your best `cause this
gonna be a musical test
So come to school,
and I take up the musical rule
Give me soul brothers, Give me soul sisters
Come to I and maybe you can make it if you try
So be wise and be changing, put on your best
Because I got your musical key
Rub it baby, I said scrub it, Yeah!
Cause I`m tougher than tough
And that ain`t no bluff
Maybe it`s because I`ve got the musical stuff
(Chorus)
I`m gonna make you the talk of the town
No use wearing a frown
Though, those other guys may put you down
I`m gonna let you wear my crown
Though, those other guys may put you down
You`ll wear my crown
(Verse 2)
Wow!
Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow, Chick-a-bow wow wow
Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters
Don`t beg for no mercy
Move it up, break it up!
Tell you bout it, it`s good
Wow! She`s got it,
She’s got it (x3)
Though those other guys may put you down
I`m gonna let you wear my crown
(Verse 3)
And we are going to have a musical ball
So get on the ball and don`t stall,
I beg you baby
Wow! Tell you about it, it`s good
[Repeat Intro]
(Verse 4)
That`s for sure
Play brand new musical discs from
the flick of my wrist, baby
Wow! Tell you about it, she`s got it
She`s got it, she`s got it, she’s got it
Wow! Chick-a-bow
Chick-a-bow (x3)
Chick-a-bow wow wow
[Repeat Intro]
I`m gonna make you the talk of the town
No use wearing a frown…

I’m looking into baby products what are your favorite and why?
Diapers: BumGeinus cloth, and Shoppers Drugmart/Life Brand diapers
Diaper products: bum wipe and powder from Soapstones.ca (Canadian) as they don’t interfere with the cloth diapers and is softly scented.
Bath products: Soapstones.ca again. Their stuff is natural and doesn’t irritate my son’s skin or dry it out.
We tried Burt’s Bees and it was scented too strongly, same with most big-brand stuff, it’s too stinky and dried out my son’s skin really quick. Plus, I like to buy Canadian made natural products and these have been great. I got some as a baby gift and have been buying it ever since.
I want to purchase this baby clothing that I saw in the back of the free parenting book in the ob/gyn office. The baby wear featured onsies that showed a play on designers name in the typeface that the designer uses. I can’t remember everyone but for instance Gucci might be Goochie… baby words. I really want this clothing and the Dr. no longer has the magazine.
try Ebay!
I have a brand new 4 piece baby girl crib bedding set. I purchased it for 190.00, I know I won’t get that much for it, I’m just hung on how much I should sell it for.
Thanks
Yes it is unused. Still in package!
Depends who makes it, what it looks like, etc. I paid over $600 for my bedding, but it was perfect and I don’t regret it. If your bedding was absolutely exactly what I was looking for, and I couldn’t find it anywhere else, I’d pay you full price. If it’s common, Babies R’ Us crap, I’d probably be willing to spend about 1/2 of retail.
