Is there any point to buying all that baby bedding?

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.
