In the beginning, things like pillows, comforters, and quilts, as can be found in many bedding sets, are not really needed for your baby.
You will also have to make a choice of whether to use a bumper in your baby's crib. There's mixed information available. Educate yourself and make a choice.
If you do decide that a bumper will protect your child, go with a thinner design. Thick, fluffy bumpers are much more of a suffocation hazard than these thinner ones.
In the first year of your baby's life all he or she really needs is sheets, a mattress, and maybe a bed skirt. Anything fluffy or heavy in your child's crib can end up becoming a suffocation hazard.
If you want to make sure your baby is comfortably warm, consider getting an organic blanket for swaddling or an organic cotton sleep sac that also wraps up snugly around your baby and doesn't present a suffocation hazard.
So, what do you do with the comforter or quilt that came in the baby bedding set? They make great accessories for your baby's nursery.
You probably bought a bedding set that matches the theme of your nursery and can now display the quilt on the nursery wall or simply hang it on a quilt rack or over the crib's side when your baby isn't sleeping there.
Purchasing a complete baby bedding set in the beginning may also save you money in the long run, as the set can be used for your child throughout the toddler years as well.
If you'd rather keep it simple in the beginning with just the sheets and such, purchasing a bedding set later will allow you to give the nursery a fresh new look.
