Gender Neutral from Baby to Toddler

A baby bedding set can also be used on a toddler bed, but sometimes toddlers say, "I’m a big boy now, and I don’t want baby bedding anymore!" This usually happens when parents choose a crib bedding set that has a baby theme. If you choose a truly gender and age neutral baby bedding set then you’ll be able to use it for your baby and all the way through the toddler years. If using your crib bedding past the crib stage is your goal then consider a set with an interesting pattern or shapes in gender neutral colors, rather than a purely baby theme. This will keep your baby happy as he grows into a walking and talking youngster.
