Must-have You'll want two or three so there's always a clean one ready for middle-of-the-night changes.
Secondhand: Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand if the elastic still holds the sheet tight on the mattress.
Typical use: about 24 months.
A crib sheet must fit tightly around the mattress, with elastic all the way around so it can't come loose. Keep the crib otherwise bare: no blankets, pillows or bumpers. Organic cotton with GOTS or OEKO-TEX certification is the main materials difference.
