Best Baby Blankets?

Since opening our store, many of our friends and family are often asking us, “what are the best baby blankets on your site”?  Well, it really depends on what you are looking for.  From the very beginning of this site’s existence, we have striven to be your one destination on the internet for all of your baby blanket needs.  We’ve had our work cut out for us!  There are many different categories of baby blankets, and so the best baby blanket needs to begin with the question, “what are you using it for?”

Do you need a swaddling blanket?  Do you need a security blanket?  Do you need a receiving blanket?  Do you need a stroller blanket?  Some blankets will cross over into multiple categories, but others are designed specifically for one reason.  For example, the Snug and Tug on our site is strictly a swaddler.  However, our aden and anais blankets can serve as swaddling, stroller blankets, play blankets or many other uses.  Our Swaddle Designs lovies are definitely meant to be a security blanket as well as a fashion statement.  Many celebrity moms love these blankets.

So, what is the best baby blanket?  It’s really up to you!  Determine what the purpose is, then shop our store by category.  OR, shop our store by color.  OR, shop our store by price.  OR, shop our store by brand.  Ok, ok, I’ll stop.  But, you get the idea.  Some blankets may be better quality than others.  We love the aden and anais muslin wraps, but it’s hard to say which are the best.

Experts Say a Security Blanket Could Help Your 8-12 Month Old Baby Sleep Better

Kids Health, from Nemours posted an article on “Sleep and Your 8- to 12-Month-Old”.  If you are a parent struggling with how to help your child develop healthy sleep patterns and/or how to approach sleep issues your baby may be having, take a few minutes to review the article by clicking the title above.  It covers the following topics:

* How Long Will My Baby Sleep?
* Where and How Should My Baby Sleep?
* Encouraging Sleep
* When to Call the Doctor

In the article, Kids Health stated, “If your baby has a favorite toy or blanket that you feel is safe to have in the crib, it can be left for comfort. This is when “transitional” objects become important to babies. They help your baby transition from being with you most of the time to having some time away from you and becoming more independent.”

If you’re looking for a security blanket or any other unique baby blanket, browse our retail site at blanketmybaby.com.  With security blankets, it is recommended that you buy a few of the same blanket so that your baby will always have one available.  This way if one is in the wash, gets lots or is left at daycare your baby will still have one to establish the feelings of familiarity and comfort.

Luvable Friends 6-Pack Flannel Receiving Blanket Set $15 Giveway

Blanket My Baby is excited to host our first giveaway of what hopefully will be many to come!  For our first giveaway, we are offering a free Luvable Friends 6 Pack of Receiving Blankets, a $15 value.

From our premium Luvable Friends layette collection of unique baby clothing and baby care products, our flannel receiving blankets are made of only the softest cotton flannel for the softest touch on your baby’s gentle skin. Each set comes with 6 unique blankets (5 printed and 1 with detailed emboidery). The sets are available in two themes: puppy for boys and cupcake for girls. They are 100% Cotton Flannel and machine washable.  Measuring approximately 30 x 30 inches, each blanket will keep a baby warm and cozy!

We recently brought them in as a gift to our new niece and the nurses in the maternity ward fell in love with them!  They couldn’t stop talking about the cute designs.

When it comes to newborns, it always helps to have an extra clean blanket around.  It’s nice to have the more luxurious fabrics like muslin cotton or organic materials, but those blankets can add up.  These blankets are soft to the touch and are perfect for keeping your baby warm.  However, when the spit ups or diaper leaks occur, it’s nice to have a few more blankets on hand, which makes these perfect to have!

Blanket My Baby offers Luvable Friends blankets at our store along with our huge selection of receiving blankets, swaddling blankets and security blankets.  We offer other categories such as personalized blankets, animal blankets, hand made blankets and sleep sacks.  Our site is easy to navigate with filters so that you can shop by brand, material, color and price.  Be sure to check out the store when you get a chance.  We offer some of the top brands on the market and pride ourselves at offering unique baby blanket designs as well.  We have the full line of SwaddleDesigns as well as aden + anais 4 packs on sale.
