Yes!You can afford custom high end crib bedding sets, made just for you and your baby! Normally, if you were to price a custom crib set locally, made using high end decorator fabrics, you might pay up to $1,000 depending on the fabrics, and details used.

 

Just look at some of the high end websites, these of course are mass produced by a couple companies. Why not take a look at the many expert sewers, right here in the USA, that can offer these same sets direct to you. Although, you must pay attention to many specifics, again, fabrics used, techniques, details, and of course design.

 

Look for ruffles, cotton fabrics, piping (I make my own, or use high end trimmings, some found in NYC), fabric ties, but again design and fabrics are most important, You should not be able to see thru a fabric!

 

As eileenskids, yes it is only me, I have been creating my sets both here in New York, and online for over 8 years. Check out my feedback, satisfaction is my priority! I truly want both you and your baby to be happy. This all started many years ago, when I was looking at crib sets for my children. I can't say enough about the poorly made sets I have seen, and at unbelievable prices. But I'm sure you have seen this.

 

Do you have your own ideas, theme or colors you would like to see, just email me . Just about anything can be made.

Baby Cribs Safety Tips for Young Moms

Baby Cribs Safety Tips

Crib Design

Dispose of antique baby cribs with decorative cutouts, corner posts or lead paint. The space between the slats should be no more than 2-3/8 inches apart to prevent infants from getting their head stuck between them. Cribs manufactured after 1974 must meet this and other strict safety standards. The corner posts should be the same height as the end panels or less than 1/16 of an inch higher than the end panels.

No cut-out areas on the headboard or foot board so a baby's head cannot get trapped. The top rails of crib sides, in their raised position, should be at least 26 inches above the top of the mattress support at its lowest position.

As soon as the child can pull himself to a standing position, set and keep the mattress at its lowest position. Stop using the crib once the height of the top rails is less than three-fourths of the child's height.

Mattress

The mattress should fit snugly next to the crib so that there is no gap. If two adult fingers can be placed between the mattress and the crib, the mattress should be immediately replaced. Do not use plastic packaging materials, such as dry cleaning bags, as mattress covers. Plastic film can cling to children's faces and should never be in or near the crib.

Put your baby to sleep on his or her back or side in a crib with a firm, flat mattress and no soft bedding underneath. Talk to your pediatrician about which sleeping position is best for you child.

Crib Hardware

The drop side(s) of the crib should require two distinct actions or a minimum force of ten pounds with one action to release the latch or the locks to prevent accidental release by the child.

The crib hardware should be checked for disengaged, broken, bent or loose pieces. Special checks should be made of the mattress support hangers and brackets so they cannot drop. The hardware and the crib should be smooth and free of sharp edges, points and rough surfaces.

Crib Accessories

Bumper pads should cover the entire inside perimeter of the crib and tie or snap in place. Bumper pads should have at least six straps or ties and any excess length of straps or ties should be cut off. Bumper pads should never be used in lieu of proper spacing between the slats and should be removed from the crib as soon as the child can pull himself to a standing position.

Teething rails that are damaged should be fixed, replaced or removed immediately. To prevent possible entanglement, mobiles and crib gyms, which are meant to be hung over or across the crib, should be removed when the child is five months old or when he begins to push up onto hands and knees or can pull himself up. Keep the crib clear of plastic sheets, pillows, and large stuffed animals or toys. These can be suffocation hazards or can enable youngsters to climb out of the crib. Any cloth or vinyl items that are loose or torn should be replaced or repaired immediately.

Crib Environment

Do not place crib next to a window. Drapery and blind cords pose an entanglement hazard and window screens are not intended to keep a child in, only insects out. Install smoke detectors. Follow the manufacturer's directions for placement. Check at least once a month to make sure battery and smoke detector are in good working condition.
