Second hand baby bedding?

So, I know the mattress itself should be new, but I can't find any guidance on the bedding (sheets, moses basket liner etc.) I am struggling for money a bit at the moment and due date is not too far off, so I was hoping to get some from Vinted as long as it is all safe. What are your thoughts?

Wouldn't bother me at all, I dont see how it's different from second hand clothes - just bung them in the wash first

Absolutely safe, I wouldn’t worry.
just wash everything on 60 C

I mean, hospitals don't crack out new sheets for every baby do they?

I agree with others, nothing wrong with good second hand and bedding can usually withstand a 60 degree wash. I would also check the NCT website to see if they have a sale coming up in your area, there is usually a small entrance fee and a queue, but postage fees can mount up on Vinted unless you are lucky enough to find a seller who has lots of what you need for sale.
