Sheets for crib/moses basket

[ChildByGrace]

Was just wondering....

...we're possibly going shopping tomorrow to get some stuff. We're going to a town about 30 miles away as it has more in the way of baby shops.

Anyhow. We have a crib for the baby and i was wondering how many sheets etc you need to buy. This is assuming that i am not washing every day but maybe every other day or every third day.
And also what type of sheets do you need?
Again i'm assuming a fitted sheet to put over the matress but i don't know what else

Thanks

just fitted sheets-- I recommend maybe 3. You can do this thing where you tuck a receiving blanket on the sides of the crib up where baby sleeps - that wat if there's drool or leakage you can just remove the receiving blanket and not the whole sheet. (Or you could use the 5th child slacker mom method- and unless it's poop- just leave the sheet to dry o the crib and put baby in a different spot-- they're so little at first they barely take up any room!)

With a moses basket- I don't know that I've ever seen special sheets for those ...you could just use a regular pillow case and safety pin it underneath. Be forwarned- that you cannot carry baby in the Moses basket I was so psyched when a friend got one for me- thinking I'd be able to tote baby around with me and my oldest when he was a toddler. But it turned out that they're way too tipy to carry aroound a sleeping baby.

Thanks Rose

I like the idea of tucking a receiving blanket in over the fitted sheet

Lol - the moses basket that we have will be too big to carry round anyway but thanks for the advice
