Some items are unsafe and, as such, have no place when you choose baby bedding. Blankets are cozy for use outside of the crib, but they provide a suffocation risk when used in the crib; as do pillows, which are unsafe for use with newborns and are better relegated to the rocking chair to support mom’s back.

It is wise to use the nursery decor items that are included in many bedding sets on the outside of the crib and closely monitored, or just wait to use them when your son is a toddler.

Older members of your family may suggest the use of heirloom crib sets, but you should tell them that ideas about baby safety have changed over time. Once you select the right things for your baby boy’s crib, the little master feels the difference in comfort while asleep and even while awake.
