Cot bedding? HELP!

[VickyLou]

I'm doing my babies room with an owl theme but trying to find cot bedding with bumper and curtains that match is proving difficult.

I have bought a duvet cover and a normal cot bed quilt but I'm not sure it's safe for baby to use straight away?

Can anyone help? I can find a lot in America but Shipping is expensive. Ideally in the uk. Oh and it's for a girl

Thank you

I'd scrap the bumper. They are a suffocation hazard in wee ones cot. it's better to go without.
My son had blankets until he was about 10 months old, I found with baby grow and sleep suit, a blanket was enough to keep him warm. I personally wouldn't use a duvet on such a tiny baby, not until they are capable of kicking it off if it's too warm

As far as bedding sets go, I cannot help. I can't find anything remotely even like what I want haha. I'm roping in my grandma in law to help me make my own.

I don't know about bedding sets, but I saw some nice sleeping bags on ebay that had owls on, if you were planning to use sleeping bags at all. I think they were John Lewis. They were unisex colours.

Thanks ladies.

I guess that makes it easier if I scrap the bumper. I just assumed you had to have one. So new to this it terrifies me hehe. My house is very cold so I'm not sure a sleeper and blanket will be ok on its own. I won't be using the blanket though. Baby won't be in the cot straight away anyway.

Thanks again

I agree with scrapping the bumper, I've read too many warnings that I don't want to use one either.

Love your owl theme, maybe you could get suiting colors for the duvet? We're doing a woodland creature theme (foxes, hedgehogs, raccoon etc) so what ever I can't find that matches those I'll probably go for dark browns.

I think I'll have to get some match pink white and purple bedding cause I'm having no luck at all.

Thank you. Your theme sounds so cute

This is a baby sleeping bag, it has owls on and detachable arms. The only thing is its a Spanish shop and not sure if you can get it over there

Oh my goodness Calm, that is absolutely adorable!

It is, I've had my eye on it for a while. Its a bit girly, but not pink as its actually lilac, so I might be able to get away with it for one of my boys

This is such a long shot, but I guess it's worth a go. I also don't know what your views on second hand stuff is, but if you go here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/194513817251518/?fref=nf
It's a Facebook group that's for people selling/giving things away local(ish) to me. If you go on there, you may have to join the group, or it may be an open one. There is a girl there called 'Jade Emma Missing' with a post very near the top where she is selling an owl nursery set for £30ono.
If you could get in touch with her, maybe she could arrange delivery for you if you agreed to pay her a bit more?
Worth a go!

There seems to be alot more choice if you know the sex of baby. Are you team yellow? Came across this which is cute and very reasonably priced too. https://m.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us...Olive-and-Henri-CotCotbed-Bedding-Set/0085355. Dunelm often have owl themed things in for nurserys but abit hit and miss on whats available if that makes sense x

I saw that on huni, I think it's abit more for boys. I'm having a girl or at least they are 98% sure. Been looking for pink or white but can't find anything I like. Looked on dunelm website too there isn't much, perhaps I need to go to the store.
Thank you hun

The bumper issue is confusing. I had one with my son, but then I read a which? Recommendation, that said no cot bumpers, quilts, duvets or anything heavy to avoid baby overheating.
It's so worrying having a baby, as if there aren't enough worries as it is!

 

[VickyLou]

It sure is Gnomer.so confusing and worrying, especially with your first. I guess I will learn as I go.
I think I'll stick with blankets until baby is old enough to kick off a quilt if she gets to hot. And ill forget the bumper unless I get one of the breathable ones I've seen

That is so beautiful and totally what I'm after I need to work out the measurements though, I have a cot bed so it's a little larger than a standard size cot.

Thank you so much. It is beautiful
