You've just been to your doctor and you've learned you have a son on the way: Oh, you are a lucky duck! Now you get to jump right in and tackle the delightful project of decorating a nursery to welcome him home to. Of course you can spend hours, or days...or even weeks, just choosing a theme out of the hundreds that result from an internet search before you even begin looking at the actual designs and colors you might use.
On the other hand, it can all be duck soup if you decide right from the start that you want to have a bright and cheery duckling theme with the adorable creatures featured on duck baby bedding. Whether they're famous feathered friends like Donald and Daisy or the charming anonymous waddlers that appear in abundance on such linens, you'll already be well on your way to your goal.

Baby boy bedding comes with all sorts of web-footed critters, some bobbing on ponds and some waddling along on little patches of grass. They are scattered over all kinds of fabric prints and they are embroidered or appliqued individually on coverlets and wall hangings. You can even find them among other baby farm animals or in more formal, realistic patterns that display various duck breeds. The former will probably tend towards pastels, particularly yellows and soft greens, while the latter is more apt to feature browns with perhaps teal and burgundy.
Duck decals and mobiles are highly appealing too, and help create an overall decor for baby's new bedroom. And to make things even quicker (or should we say "quacker"?), make your bedding selection from among the various crib and cradle ensembles that are so popular today.
Experienced parents know the advantages of going this route, since you generally save both time and money when you pick up multi-item, packaged crib bedding. Do read up on the important safety issues to be aware of when purchasing nursery articles and be sure to measure your little one's mattress carefully before making any purchases. And while the set or sets you choose will typically contain some matching accessories, you will want to remember to pick up extra sheets as backups.
What fun it will be before long when you are reading stories like The Ugly Duckling to your little toddler or maybe making up tales about the little yellow balls of fluff all around him. The only other thing you won't want to forget is to get him an appropriate bath time companion - a rubber ducky, naturally!
