Little Boy Darling Infant Bedding Suggestions
Posted by Babies - 11/06/09 at 06:06 pmWhile you’ll doubtless be excited about the arrival of the addition to your family and the preparation of the nursery, the decision of which theme to use can be a difficult one. Before decorating, it is easiest to decide on a bedding set and decorate around that theme. If you are at a loss regarding the theme to use for the bedding, following are some possibilities.
Typically, boys prefer bold colors, so this can be a good place to begin when buying bedding for your child. Bold colors are very in right now, so don’t worry about the room being tacky. A good illustration is Trend Lab’s brown and blue Prep School Blue crib bedding set. The colors are a mixtures of caramel, chocolate, blue and white.
Both boys and girls like animal themes, however, they will choose different animals depending on gender. Little boys usually favor animals that they consider to be strong and bold while little girls are more nurturing and prefer animals that are cuddly. A theme with farm animals or a Noah’s Ark theme is wonderful for a young boy, if you need a theme with long life, consider a jungle theme.
Every little boy loves to play cowboy, so this would be a good theme. Cowboy themes allow for many choices and use a variety of fabrics such as leather, ultra suede and denim and prints like plaids to lend authenticity. Decorative sheets with a cowboy or western theme can be found in these baby crib bedding sets. When you choose baby blankets in a cowboy theme, the most popular fabrics are fleece and flannel.
If his Daddy enjoys sports, you know your little boy will also be a fan. When choosing team-specific bedding, the parents usually choose the team that is their favorite. Some bedding sets are available with sports based themes; like, football, baseball etc. For a theme that your son can grow into, a general sports theme is best because you can’t predict what specific sports your son will grow to love.
If your intention is to have more than one child, there is another way to buy infant bedding. Your choices are to either pick a theme that will grow with one child or go with a more neutral theme which can be used over and over for each subsequent baby. By doing this, every child will have the ability to pick their own room theme when they are 3 or 4 and start to express their own likes and dislikes. Gender neutral bedding can include things like geometric patterns, alphabet and numbers, and famous children’s characters from pop culture and literature such as Winnie the Pooh.
You should give it some careful consideration if you’re planning to buy boy crib bedding. It may be tempting to buy frilly bedding for an infant but when he gets older, you will have to replace it, so buying something more masculine would be more economical in the long run. Most toddler beds use standard sized crib mattresses, so a great solution for parents that are thinking ahead are 3-in-1 cribs that convert to toddler beds.
