Receiving blankets are wrapped around babies to keep them warm and dry. They are commonly used after showers, during diaper changes, and as burp cloths during feeding. They usually range from 30 to 40 inches in size and feature finished edges. Most receiving blankets are sold in sets of four and come in pastel and gender-neutral colors. Receiving blankets can also be home-made using flannel cloths.
These receiving blankets are very comfortable and excellent for protecting against scratches. They are also naturally insulating, making them ideal for use after showers.
Wool Receiving Blankets are thick and comfortable, but are usually heavy and are not suitable for newborn babies. They are commonly used as cushions when changing diapers.
Silk Receiving Blankets are made of multiple silk sheets and usually lined at the edges with silk or jacquard strips. They are very smooth and comfortable on the skin, but tend to fray and wear out easily.
Size. Choose a receiving blanket that securely wraps around your baby’s body. Make sure the edges overlap so that you can fold the edges together while carrying the baby. Allow at least three inches of overlap for a more secure fit.
Comfort. Choose a receiving blanket made of thick, soft fabrics. Look for one with an insulating layer to keep your baby warm. Choose organic cotton blanket to avoid allergic reactions or if your baby has sensitive skin.
