Baby bedding needs to be practical rather than just attractive; consider a plastic mattress cover as an aid to easier cleaning when the baby finds a way to get everything in the vicinity in need of a cleaning.

Make sure you buy washable bedding, and keep more sets on hand than you think you will need. Keeping the safety of your baby in mind, you should consult the pediatrician about the type of sheets that will be the right choice for the baby at each of it growing stages. The doctor may advise keeping fluffy blankets away from very little ones at night–don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to use that special blanket or quilt from Grandma during the day.
