For some parents, one of the joys of having a baby is to find out whether it’s a girl or a boy. Many mothers and fathers can’t wait to find out whether they can expect a son or daughter, so they check with the doctor right away. Others prefer to defer the elation until childbirth, when the pleasant surprise is even more suspenseful. In either case, it’s critical that new parents plan well in advance to outfit the child’s nursery with all the essentials.
Foremost among these is the baby’s crib and bedding. Although some babies spend their first month or so in a cradle, they graduate to the crib in no time at all. Unisex baby bedding makes for a solid choice for several reasons. First, since it’s suitable for boys and girls it can be bought well in advance of the birth – even if parents wait to find out the child’s sex. Unisex bedding can also be reused by another child should parents choose to have a larger family.
