While cribs have standard sizes, bassinets do not, so it may be hard to find sheets that are just right for your bassinet. You'll probably want to have at least one extra fitted sheet for the inevitable night time diaper explosion. Speaking of extra sheets, it's best if those sheets are easily removed for washing.

How many bassinet sheets do you need?

Remember to check your baby's crib and sheets regularly for any overlooked spots that might be soiled! If you want to place fresh sheets in your baby's crib once a week, plan for two or three crib sheets. But if you plan on changing your crib sheets out every day, we recommend having at least five to seven crib sheets.

What kind of bedding goes in a bassinet?

The safest sleeping environment is a fitted sheet on a firm crib mattress, with no other bedding or soft objects in the crib.
