I thought this was my secret!!! I can't do it. It's one of those things I say...."you do this so much better than I do" to boost his ego and make him feel like I couldn't do it without him.

Works like a charm!

Ugh, I tried this approach and my lovely dh ripped the bumper strings right off in the process. So he will never do that job again (maybe that's why he did it lol)

Anyway, I change it like once every 2 weeks unless she spits up or pee's through her diaper and I break out into a sweat and curse under my breathe every time.

Can't wait until she is in a bed lol

I use to take the mattress out, change the sheet, put it back, & then just adjust the bumpers a little. Usually I would only have to pull them up a little.

i have the "ultimate crib sheet" so i can easily unsnap that from the rails and wash that. since it covers the entire top of the fitted sheet I don't have to wash the fitted so often. WAAAAY Easier.

About once a week or sooner if he's sick. Zipper sheets!
Best invention!
It's from Stars and Clouds
Check their site
It's a little pricey, but worth it. I recommended them to a few people on here and they love it

Yep, I got the Chat Icon Hahahahah!


I do it once a week. She has thin breathable bumpers, so, I just slide them down, take mattress out, replace sheet, put mattress back in and slide the bumpers back up.

**If she's not feeling well, or, went through her diaper at night, I change them immediatley**.

I change them daily (sometimes more)....I have pukers! I don't use bumpers for this reason alone!

I DESPISE changing the sheets.

Ditto to this.
I have 3 of them and wash them prob not as often as I should...I wash it prob every few weeks. If DD has a cold and runny nose though - I'll change it twice a week.
The fitted sheet - honestly I wash it maybe once a quarter/season.

This. It was never difficult.

My bumper had a separate section for that side. I'd just pull that up a bit, then whole thing pulled out, change, put back in, push the bumper down. a few minutes tops?

I change every time I do a load of baby laundry- once, sometimes 2x a week. It is a PITA but I untie only the front section of the bumper, lift the mattress up and over the front of the crib, slide the old sheet off, new one on, put the mattress back into place then just retie the front.

Re: How often do you change the crib sheet and HOW do you do it with bumpers on?

Once every 2 weeks or more if he's sick/peed etc. I HATE changing the sheet. I'm short so reaching in is a pita. I have a girl who cleans 2x's a week & I have her do it. Before that I would triple layer the sheet... waterproof mattress pad, sheet, waterproof pad, sheet etc so I would just rip off 2 layers and reveal a clean sheet.

I take out the whole mattress now that I finally put bumpers in. I change them 2x a week unless she is sick with a cold or something than more often.

I take the mattress out put the sheet on then push it back into place. Usually one end in first then push then other end in. Then I straighten out the bumpers. Such a PITA! I change her sheet once a week unless she had an issue.

Re: How often do you change the crib sheet and HOW do you do it with bumpers on?

I would untie just the front corners and center of the bumpers. Then fold it to the back, making a half "C" around the back side of the crib. That allowed me to easily lift/slide the mattress out of the crib for changing then back in and those three ties were simple to reach and tie.
