Fitted Crib Sheets

fitting bedding crib is important. The crib sheet must be fitted and should fit well. Choosing the right bedding crib sheet is one of the most import decision the parents make. Today, many companies provide fitted crib sheets. The fitted crib sheets come in a wide variety of colors and patterns.

Secure fit crib sheets

The crib sheets that are either long or short are termed as ill-fitting crib sheets. The newborn spends ˆ¶ of the time in the crib. Ill-fitting crib sheets can slip of the crib mattress and pose a strangulation hazard for the baby. A fitted crib sheet solves this problem by securing the sheet with a Velcro underneath the mattress. This resists the crib sheet from bunching and can be removed only by lifting up the mattress. The fitted crib sheets are machine washable and dryer safe.

Zippered Safety Sheets
Zippered crib sheets encase the entire crib mattress and can be used on both sides. Zippered safety sheets cannot be removed from the mattress during sleep. This eliminates the risk of babies becoming entangled in sheets. These sheets are available for all crib mattress types.

Crib Sheet Security Clips
Crib sheet security clips are used to secure the loose end of the crib sheets. They are used to secure the baby's sheets at the corners. They are fitted so well that the sheets stay safely put. This also helps to eliminate the risk of suffocation.

Place the mattress on top of the sheet and then cut it about 9 inches longer than the mattress, for the depth of mattress. Then cut a 4inch square on all four corners. Sew the corners into pockets. Make a   inch hem around the sheet. Take a four pieces of narrow elastic approximately 17 inches long and zig zag one on each of the corner pockets. It is advisable to first try out in an old sheet.
