opinions on crib bedding please

[scattered]

We will be moving DD2 in with DD1. DD1's nursery is gray, with pink and white accents and an aqua vintage dresser (I painted it, it was fugly yellow). White floating shelves. 

This is her bedding (hers is the For The Birds Medallion): www.amazon.com/aden-anais-Classic-Muslin-Sheet/dp/B006ZSYJTO/ref=sr_1_5_m?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1422548286&sr=1-5&keywords=aden+and+anais+for+the+birds 

So for DD2, who will have a matching crib, would you get the same sheets, or this one: www.amazon.com/aden-anais-Classic-Muslin-Sheet/dp/B006ZSYJTO/ref=sr_1_5_m?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1422548286&sr=1-5&keywords=aden+and+anais+for+the+birds OR the solid pink? 


The changing pad cover is the solid pink "For The Birds" cover that matches the sheet. Ava also has the blanket that matches, and I'd get Ella the blanket to match her sheets. 

Other option, completely pick all new bedding and textiles for their room that matches the grey/white/aqua theme.

is it just me or are both links exactly the same?

[veganontuesdays]

The link didn't post the color you selected just the same sheet. So it's between which ones? Matching for the birds or possibly a plain pink?

Why not one of each? In case you need to change one in the middle of the night. Then you get both and don't have to choose

The for the birds medallion is so damn cute! But I also really love the one that you chose for Ella. I would probably stick with the same theme to save money. You can't go wrong with any of your options (although, not sure I'd do solid sheets). But I'm also of the opinion that one can never have too many sheets, so I'd probably go with 2 additional sheets that coordinate but can change up the look of the room again!!

I put the name in the link, Ava's is the Medallion. For some reason it kept defaulting to the plain one.

It would be either the For The Birds, For The Birds Medallion (which A has) or the solid pink. I have the solid pink as a changing pad cover, so it's a really pretty soft pink, but I don't love solid sheets. KWIM?

I read a blog post once about how someone's baby kept trying to pick the dots/flowers/whatever off of a sheet instead of sleeping. It was a major distraction. Scared me into buying only solid sheets for DD! So silly, I know.

That's funny. Jack had printed sheets and used to make monkey noises at them (they had monkeys on them, he wasn't just weird).

We're doing the For The Birds dream blanket as her "bedding" and doing solid pink, white and grey sheets. Just our plan.

Ava has the blanket, and it washes SO amazingly well. I did use bleach once after she threw up on it, so the dark gray is more of a pinkish gray on the back now, but man their products clean up amazingly well. We have several of the A+A swaddlers too. Love them all. Can't go wrong.

I also don't like solid cotton sheets for a crib. We had one solid sheet last time, and I tried not to use it. Patterns all the way.

As a STM, I had about 4 different sheets for DD's bed and I tried not to spend a ton on them. They get them pretty dirty (or at least mine did) between the diaper blowouts, the spit up, the vomiting, etc. I think the one you picked is adorable but it wouldn't hurt to buy more than one.

Well true. I have solid cotton sheets for laundry day and in case of explosions.

Another A&A addict here! I would go with the FTB, but you can't really go wrong with any of your options.

[mayflowers]

Love the for the birds!

[jerseyakl]

I say get a couple of both and mix them up. I like the variety and they work together nicely!

[smontz]

Another vote for For the Birds! I love that line from aden + anais. And I agree about the solid sheets...I like the two different patterns together so much more.

[honeylemon]

I'd do the coordinating printed sheets.

Iris has the swaddle blankets set in those prints. LOVE them.

[viola]

I really like the owl ones. Super cute either way!

[mpiemont]

I love all of these!!! DD's nursery will be lavender/gray with touches of aqua. I may have to get some "for the birds".

I think I'd go with a print sheet for baby I'd dd1 has a print.
