flanelette is just fine,

Get as many as you think you need, Old nappys are good for the head area then thats all you have to change, but I go by the rule of one in the cupboard one in the wash one on the bed.]]> Sun, 26 Apr 2009 00:30:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670777&title=baby-sheets#670777 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : ditto on the old flannel nappies.....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670708&title=baby-sheets#670708 Author: pekemoemum

ditto on the old flannel nappies.. they were great for under baby and easy to change (my boys both had reflux). Not sure on prices as I just cut down normal sheets and edged them (used old warm soft sheets). all the best with your new baby! :)]]> Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:00:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670708&title=baby-sheets#670708 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : Kmarie, I was the same, but then...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670201&title=baby-sheets#670201 Author: AandCsmum

Kmarie, I was the same, but then the sheet isn't really coming into contact with bubs cause of the wrap/sleeping bag & I'd have a couple of cloth naps under the head/shoulder area.]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:38:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670201&title=baby-sheets#670201 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : You can get the flanellete wrap...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670168&title=baby-sheets#670168 Author: _SMS_

You can get the flanellete wrap things to use as bassinet sheets.

For the cot i recommend at least 4 pairs, you will use them the next winter as well

i just got some today at Farmers for $18 on special for fitted and flat. Normal price $24.

I think baby city and baby factory have them at good prices also.

Myy DD can be quite spilly at times. I also just use an old cloth nappy for under her head, its so much easier =)]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2009 22:22:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670168&title=baby-sheets#670168 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : I second the cloth nappies - we...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=670150&title=baby-sheets#670150 Author: kmarie

I second the cloth nappies - we still use them under Bethany's head cuz she's a great spiller! I didn't buy any more fitted sheets than top sheets. I really only ever washed them if she spilled or wet through them or if I looked at them and couldn't remember when I last put them thru the wash, naughty mummy! Had a few bassinette sets and a few cot sets, it's only now that I'm I putting her in flannelette tho cuz she was quite a warm bubba early on but now that winter's hit she's freezing! I'd look out for the sales this weekend (being anzac weekend), somewhere like farmers is bound to give you a good deal

ETA - In terms of warmth, I'd be concentrating on what you'll dress & wrap your baby in overnight, cuz that's what'll be closest to his/her skin, even more so than the sheets. We're layering Bethany up HEAPS at the mo cuz she's so cold. Loving the bamboo singlets (baby factory) closest to her skin cuz they're thin, not bulky, but very warm. Then more layers and finally she's in a cotton lined polar fleece sleeping bag. I work on the principle that she should be warm with or without the covers!!! Although I also layer up plenty of covers on her too. Happy planning!

I bought 4 fitted sheets per baby. I liked the flanelette ones but during the early days our boys were swaddled so hardly touched the sheet with their skin. We bought our for $10 each at a baby factory sale so you may be able to find cheaper than $16.

If you do have a spilly baby though go & buy some cloth nappy's (we have 50 of them and would use nearly all of them in a day!) and lay that down behind the bubs head so you only need to change that & not the whole sheet.]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:19:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668781&title=baby-sheets#668781 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : I used them as well and they were...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668621&title=baby-sheets#668621 Author: LeahandJoel

I used them as well and they were fine......we had about 6 (all hand me downs) and he got sick when he was 2 weeks old and was power chucking all his feeds all over the basinet for about 2 weeks, was changing the bed every sleep so was using whatever we had and sometimes that wasn't enough. (we have no drier so mum was taking them to her place when I got low to stick them in her drier)

I used flanelette sheets too. I had three one for on the cot, one for in the wash and one drying. I also used spill cloths where his head lay and I would change that so that I wouldn't have to change the whole sheet. ]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:30:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668597&title=baby-sheets#668597 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : I can&#039;t remember, but I know...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668564&title=baby-sheets#668564 Author: mamanee

I can't remember, but I know I used flanelette sheets right from when Sam was born, as he was a winter baby too. I was given heaps at my baby shower but Sam wasn't a very spilly baby either so only changed them once a week or if he wet through.   I think it really depends on your child as my sister was changing her baby's sheets at least twice a day because he had quite bad reflux.   ]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:12:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668564&title=baby-sheets#668564 <![CDATA[Baby Sheets : Ella was a winter baby and we...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668526&title=baby-sheets#668526 Author: Mum2ET

Ella was a winter baby and we used flanelette sheets on her bassient. I made some myself- just got the material from spotlight. We didn't have that many sheets- I think around 4. But..Ella was never a very spilly baby, so I just changed them once a week (or if she had an accident and got them wet).

I am having a winter baby and wanting to know if flanelette sheets are better. Obviously flanelette sheets are better normally at keeping you warm, but can't help thinking that there is some sort of danger out there ... just like for everything else for NB babies.

also, how many sheets are recommended. I think I have read that quite a few are required- I remember the number sounding a little excessive. Do they need to be changed all the time or just when there are spills etc?

Oh, and what is a good price to pay, I have just bought 2 fitted sheets for $16 each. Is that too expensive or about right?]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:24:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26094&PID=668507&title=baby-sheets#668507
