Furnishing a nursery is an exciting journey. Recalling my own experience as a first-time mother, the options were limited and lacked the variety available today. Thankfully, modern parents have a wealth of choices. Inspired by a friend’s pregnancy and her upcoming move to New England, I explored the world of crib bedding, noticing some confusing terminology differences between the US and UK markets. In the US, a ‘crib’ is called a ‘cot’ in the UK, while a ‘bassinet’ equates to a ‘Moses basket,’ and a ‘cradle’ is often referred to as a ‘crib’ in the UK. American websites offer a diverse range of designs, colors, and prices, allowing for complete nursery styling beyond simple matching bumpers and quilts. I was particularly struck by a stylish black and white gingham set. Ultimately, I opted for a custom-made quilt with the baby’s name to complement the New England-themed nursery, intending it to become a cherished family heirloom. Before purchasing any crib bedding, it’s vital to consider essential safety measures. Research safe bedding practices to ensure a secure environment for your baby.
