We have the cariboo bassinette but they are out of stock of the wool blankets.

Curious to know which bedding you use? Cotton waffle, wool? Which brand?

Thanks!

I have a cariboo :)
With my summer daughter I just used cotton sheeting from a baby store I guess, and if I ran out of the bassinet ones just folded up a cot sheet in quarters, and chucked a lightweight fleece on top.

This time, we are having a winterish boy, and finances are a little more on our side, so I did a wee bit of shopping and crafting. I made a couple of fitted fleece sheets, and a couple of flannette flat ones, and purchased a top rug from these guys:

I will use a cot waffle weave rug folded into quarters if need be as well, it's hanging around as a spare. Pillow cases are also awesome bottom sheets for the cariboo Just slip the mattress inside

We used the cariboo wool blankets .. nature baby has lovely blankets.

I prefer natural fibres so I tend not to use any fleece type blankets.

I found fitted cot sheets worked just as well on the mattresses, you just keep wrapping it round iygwim.

We use aircell woolen blankets, their cot size but we just folded them to the right size!

I used woolen aircell blankets - didn't bother getting bassinette sized though, just doubled up a cot sized one and wrapped it round the mattress (means its super tucked in on one side!)

I also prefer natural fibres. I have two Cariboo wool blankets bassinet size and just love them, So soft and warm. DD is long out of her bassinet but I still use them heaps. They are great size for buggy or carseat.

I have a babu one - and a nature baby one - they're a little bit pricey so depends on your budget but they're merino so breatheable and just the right size

babu also do bassinet sheet sets - the material is sooooo soft and beautiful i wish they made them for king sized beds :)
