Something I discovered when Lily was little, is that white bedding for babies and small children is just wonderful. It always looks clean and fresh, but you can boil wash and bleach it repeatedly without having to worry about colour loss. You can also change the colour or decor of the child’s bedroom without the expensive of buying new bedding

Lily’s Cot and Nursery circa 2003


However it can look a little boring, so to make it look more interesting (apart from adding a throw) and to get them involved, I’ve always allowed Lily to choose her own pillowcases when we’re buying them. We now have pillowcases of every colour, pattern and with gorgeous embroidery.


It’s a really inexpensive way to get your child involved in making the room ‘theirs’. I’ve also found a side benefit in that Lily loves making her bed now and it’s her favourite job.

I’m a big fan of white with kids, too, for the same reason. It’s easy to use my handy bleach pen on stains and everything looks (practically) new again.
How pretty!
Great Ideas. I think for a happier sleep of your child these tips can be very useful. I remember when I was looking for my children bedding. I preferred on their favorite cartoon. Like for my son I chose his favorite cartoon Bob the builder and for my daughter Disney Princess. Which I select from charactercomforts.co.uk . That make them to sleep early and which effects on their all day.
