longevity of crib sheets?

[LucyG]

We have two Land's End crib sheets that I love (farm print). So far, we have only used one of them, as DD slept in the PNP bassinet until she was four months old. When baby #2 comes along, he/she will have the same crib bedding and nursery theme (Old MacDonald). Land's End has the farm sheets on sale right now, and I debating whether to get two more. After one baby, will we need new crib sheets, or will the original two from Land's End still be in good shape? Thanks!

I suspect that this will vary for everyone. It depends on how often you wash the sheet, which will be a function of how messy in bed your baby is, how many sheets you have, how often you change the sheet, how long your baby stays in the crib - so many varibles, really!

If you don't buy extras and yours wear out, you can always go with solid colors to match.

I have Lands End crib sheets from DS#1 who is now 3 and they still look great. They are a little faded (solid red & royal blue), but not terribly. They got washed a lot in the two years they were used for DS#1.
I should mention that these sheets are woven fabric & I think the ones you are talking about are knit fabric.
