But what about parents expecting multiples? Increasing numbers of families are birthing twins, triplets and sometimes even larger groups of siblings. Sometimes, perfect color-coordinated and matching baby bedding is the preference of parents; but at other times - especially in the cases of boy and girl siblings - moms and dads like to have a clear separation of the kids’ things from the very start.

In fact, it may be that all you require is a single set, because multiple babies can share the same crib to begin with, some doctors say. Keep your choices simple and efficient particularly if you are expecting a multiple birth.

Crib bedding is an important part of the crib, which is in turn an important part of the nursery. You should wash all bedding in baby detergent before you use baby bedding, in order to remove any contaminants such as chemicals or dyes.
