When you first bring home your baby, items like comforters, quilts and pillows aren't necessary.
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.
To avoid suffocation, all your baby really needs in the first 12 months is a sheet, mattress, and a crib skirt for aesthetics. Avoid anything fluffy and heavy in your baby's crib.
The idea of having your baby in a crib with just a sheet, makes you probably wonder if your baby will be warm enough. For the cooler seasons consider wrapping your baby tightly in an organic blanket or sleep sac. This will prevent suffocation while keeping your baby warm and comfortable.
While your baby isn't using the comforter or quilt that came with your baby bedding set at first, you can use it to accessorize your nursery design.
They can complement your nursery's theme and can be hung on the wall or a quilt rack. You might also hang them over the crib's rail when your baby isn't inside the crib.
It's also a good idea to purchase a complete baby bedding set, if you are planning on using it throughout your child's toddler years as well. It would be difficult finding the matching pieces at a later time.
On the other hand, if you want to keep it simple in the beginning and buy only the necessary bedding items, you can later freshen up the nursery design with a toddler bedding set.
