Summary: When my daughters were infants they slept in an oval bassinet, however there was no fitted sheets for bassinets available. However the company that makes the elite oval bassinet also offers oval bassinet bedding.
When you buy one of these bassinets, you can purchase a bedding set that includes a pleated skirt, a fitted sheet, canopy and mattress pad. The bassinet has caster wheels and a storage shelf underneath. It is easy to assemble following the illustrated directions.
This bassinet has the look of very upscale furniture. Your baby can sleep in this special bed until he is 20 lbs. or when he can roll over and push himself up.
You can buy a set of two oval bassinet sheets for just under $23.00. Very few sheet around the mattress and pin it in place so the baby could not get tangled in the sheet. There were no fitted sheets for bassinets available at the time.
I love bassinets, you can wheel them from room to room, and the babies don’t look lost like they might in a big crib.
Depending on the size of your basket, you could use the bassinet bedding in your Moses basket.
The high quality bassinet sheet helps to make sure the oval bassinet is comfortable. Most experts suggest that you not use a pillow in your infant’s bassinet or crib. Shopping for bassinet sheets is not easy. You can’t just stroll into your local discount department store and grab a fitted sheet for your bassinet. My niece orders hers on line.
The price for oval bassinet sheets may be a bit higher than crib sheets but for safety alone the cost is well worth the extra money you will spend. If you compare prices of your bassinet bedding and similar quality bedding for the crib your daughter will soon move into, you will not see a huge gap. If you order your sheets on line remember their will be shipping costs to deal with. Before you order check out the terms of return policy.
You will of course need a couple of organic cotton blankets for your baby bassinet. Whether your baby is a boy or girl a bassinet is the perfect bed for the first couple of months.
A bassinet can fit in with any décor. Just choose colors that will coordinate with the décor of the baby’s bedroom. You can use your fitted sheets in some travel bassinets and baskets.
Your elite oval baby bassinet is manufactured by the Badger Basket company so you may see either name or both in advertising and in search engines or web articles.
The sheets are available in a variety of colors to match just about any décor. I think soft colors help an infant fall asleep more easily. Very bright colors may over stimulate him.
If you will be using a bassinet for your new baby, you should give some thought to purchasing oval bassinet baby bedding.
