When DS was younger we used an extra layer under the sheet, not now though. (fingers x)
The fitter sheet probably won't fit your portacot (conspiracy?), we had to buy a different sheet for it.
We've pretty much only gone away in summer, so as for blankets, nothing or a baby sleeping bag.]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:11:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422815&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422815 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422797&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422797 Author: AandCsmum

Sorry, that was that I don't use a mattress protector, if DD has an explosive bum then definitely use one.]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2012 15:02:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422797&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422797 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422771&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422771 Author: Red

I have a woolen underlay which I use as a mattress protector in the portacot, also gives a bit more cushioning.]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:33:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422771&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422771 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422760&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422760 Author: Casablanca

I just use a beach towel under the sheet as a mattress protector. Cheap and effective ;)]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2012 11:02:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422760&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422760 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422733&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422733 Author: BikeBaby

Thanks. Just out of interest why not use a mattress protector? Just a little worried as DD has a bit of an explosive bum and I quite often end up with a bed full of poo! ]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2012 09:22:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422733&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422733 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422694&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422694 Author: AandCsmum

My portacot came with a sheet so I use that first & then tuck a folded single sheet around the base as well so it's a bit thicker. Don't use a mattress protector.

I find a folded single better as it doesn't slip so much.]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:07:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422694&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422694 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422685&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422685 Author: BikeBaby

Can anyone give me advice on getting the portacot all nice for bubs? Do you need special bedding or does the bedding off the cot fit? I have both fitted and flat sheets for her cot so guessing I just use the flat sheets on the portacot? What do you use as far as mattress protector? ... lol it's the simple things that seem so confusing haha ]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:07:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335&PID=1422685&title=setting-up-the-portacot-bedding-etc#1422685
