Do you put anything on top of the sheet to keep your sheets cleaner?
I have a thin, large towel that I lay across the bed. I tuck one end under the mattress and DH sleeps on the other end (he sleeps like a nevermoving rock). Otherwise, we'd be changing sheets a few times a night... our little man has a bad spit up problem

I actually just change the sheet when Gabriella spits up. But I think putting a towel underneath her would be a good idea, as long as it cant bunch up... My son, Carter, spit up quite a bit and I was changing the sheet in the middle of the night consently, so I understand what your going through.
Our 2 month old doesn't spit up much, but she is a never ending drooler. We just put a baby blanket under her, one end tucked under me. So far, we haven't had to change the sheets. *knock on wood*

I used a waterproof crib pad thing - actually 2 of them s I could wash 1, use the other. it was heavy enough not to bunch and kept the bed clean through spit-up and diaper leaks. Thjese days, I don't use anything b/c we haven't seemed to need it.

With the big kids, I used all of the crib blankets people gave me at the showers, lol.
With ds2 I'm using these, which I bought for the birth and then washed fresh and snowy white again with hydrogen peroxide. ds2 and I both sleep nekkie-butt on my best sheets and the pads handle both blood and pee just fine so spit up and leaky breasts or diapers shouldn't be a problem.
We use Nekkie Blankies. Basically they are one giant pocket dipe. They're a layer of PUL with the equivalent to a super-sized prefold inside, then a soft top. I'm thinking I am going to try making something like it, but with fleece. I'll share if I do
I'm totally buying some nekkie blankies for this baby!!!
