Very stupid question 🤣 FTM!

[RWK29]

Should I be buying sheets for in the pram carrycot? 🤔🙈

Having a quick look through John Lewis online to grab the last bits and pieces we need for our little one and came across “pram/Moses basket sheets”. Nobody has mentioned these to me before but I guess it makes sense to have another layer of protection over the pram mattress 🙈 help! Haha.

I did so that if baby was sick or there was a poop explosion then the pram mattress was protected a little.

I never bothered/ heard of such a thing- if same size as the Moses basket guess couldn’t hurt

I just laid my baby on a muslin cloth or blanket

You can also use pillowcases. Much cheaper if you already have spares. You do need sheets of some sort so you can wash them.

Yes get something to cover it at least. Then if baby spits up on it you can just replace it and they have a nice dry mattress again. You can use anything doesn't have to be a fitted sheet.

I never bothered but wished I did as she threw up on the first day and stained the cover so then I had to have a Muslin in there all the time.

We did. You can get them on amazon

Thanks everyone 😊 I had got large muslins first laying down in the pram for potential sick/nappy leaks but then I saw the sheets and thought I was just being an idiot 😂 I’ll order some and see how they are 😊

I used a pillowcase :) It's about the right size and less fiddly.

The actual pram mattress cover was plasticky so I didn't want to lie him directly on it.

I did put a muslin just over the head end for an extra layer and to aid easy changes.

But you don't want anything loose they can get tangled in, only if it tucks in firmly.

The fitted pram sheets from John Lewis are good, come in pack of 2 and wash really well. We used those over a cheap Asda fitted mattress protector.

The mattress on my bugaboo fox was removable to wash so I didn't bother. Although I sometimes used a muslin for spit up to save me washing it everyday! I think they are quite an old fashioned thing but I am sure it's moses basket sheets u can use
