Ward off the cold with a new baby blanket
Well, it’s been really cold across much of the U.S. for the past few weeks. It’s been reported that even tropical states like Florida have had several instances of below freezing temperatures. What a great time to consider a new baby blanket (or two!) to keep your little one warm and cozy.
Any blanket will add some warmth for baby, but at blanketmybaby.com, we have a few unique blankets that add a touch of extra warmth.
Try a fabric like flannel or fleece. If the blanket is for tummy time or play time, buy a thicker, large blanket for your floor for the winter season. You will also need a warm blanket for the stroller and on-the go. Some options from our online store include:
Featured Fleece:
Featured Cotton Flannel and Organic Cotton Flannel:
Featured blankets for winter tummy time or stroller:
Also try baby sleeping bags/sleep sacks, to keep your child nice and cozy and to prevent them from kicking the blanket off while sleeping. Check out our entire selection of sleep sacks by clicking here.

I haven’t been able to do this enough, but I wanted to take some time to thank you to all of our customers! You guys are the best! BlanketMyBaby has steadily grown each month for the past six months, and we don’t plan on stopping any time soon. You are helping us do that. So, thank you!
We are continuing to add more blankets to our selection in an effort to be your one stop shop on the internet for all of your baby blanket needs. We are even looking into adding additional categories to our site. So, be on the lookout for that.
Our most popular blankets have been and could continue to be our aden and anais 4 packs. We have scoured the internet for you in an effort to give you the lowest net price of blankets + shipping. Many of you have heard the great news at how great these swaddling blankets are, and you are spreading the word. Again, thank you! These blankets get softer with every wash and are excellent for swaddling. Target has come out with their own line of these blankets for $29.99, but the quality is not the same and the blankets are smaller. So, we look forward to being the best destination of aden + anais 4 packs. Plus, if you are interested in the sleeping bags, let us know! We might start adding those blankets for when your baby is growing and outgrowing his or her blanket.
Ok, I guess I’ll wrap it up. I just can’t say THANK YOU enough! We hope your Christmas shopping is going well and that you will be able to focus on this wonderful season for its true meaning.
Best,
Eric

ErgoPouch iParenting Award Winner
The ErgoPouch is the 2009 iParenting Media award winner for its safe design and quality fabric. The ErgoPouch is made of organic cotton to help control temperature and allergies. The ErgoPouch is a unique mixture between a baby blanket and sleeping bag. It is soft and light weight like a blanket, but it has the comfort of a sleep sack design. Also, a unique feature of the ErgoPouch is that it was developed with strech inserts to allow the baby to move freely without getting tangled. The fabric is highly breathable and safe for your baby.
The nice thing about a sleep sack blanket is that you simply zip up your baby inside. It’s designed to make diaper changes simpler, which is nice for every parent.
The pouch is made of alpaca fiber which is like wool, but softer. You don’t get the prickly sensation that often comes with wool. Also, it is lanolin free, which allows the blanket to be hypoallergenic. Every individual alpaca strand is hollow, which allows it keep your baby warm and cozy, but also be breathable.

Benefits of Sleep Sacks and Baby Sleeping Bags
Wearable baby blankets, including sleep sacks and baby sleeping bags are convenient for parents and comfortable for babies. Typically the blankets keep the feet tucked in and zip, button, snap or velcro up the front. They solve the age-old problem of babies kicking off the blanket and waking up cold or tangled. They also help reduce the risk of SIDS by keeping blankets away from the face. Sleep sacks offer a great transition phase from swaddling to big-kid blanket.
Sleep sacks can be loose or tight at the bottom. Some allow wiggle room for the feet and others function more like a swaddling blanket. As for the arms - sleep sacks can be sleeveless, short-sleeved, long-sleeved or may tuck arms in with a swaddling feature.
When deciding on a sleep sack, it’s important to consider the temperature of the baby’s room and the season of the year. Sleep sacks are available in many fabrics and may range from thick winter fleece to thin summer-appropriate cotton mesh.
Blanketmybaby.com carries several varieties of baby sleeping bags and sleep sacks in colors including blue, pink, green, yellow, white and more. BMB offers several unique SwaddleDesigns fuzzy sleep sacks with satin trim and various Aden and Anais cotton muslin baby sleeping bags. BMB also sells the handmade Sleep Pea Pods, which could be used as a swaddle blanket or sleep sack.

Ok, so here’s another one from SwaddleDesigns. This is the zzZipMe Sack - Fuzzy Lime with Brown Mod Circles. This blanket/sack is designed for infants 3-6 months old. Basically, this product is a variation of Halo’s SleepSack, which was a huge success. The design is to help babies reduce the risk of SIDS.
The zzZipMe Sack was created for babies when they are ready to move on from swaddling. A nice feature of this blanket is a 2-way zipper, which opens from the bottom and the top. The concept is to zip down from the top to easily place your baby inside, but while changing a diaper, your baby can stay warm by zipping from the bottom to the top. It’s a very clever feature that is great for parents.
This blanket has gone through much testing in the United States and the United Kingdom and meets CPSIA requirements. The Fuzzy Plush zzZipMe Sacks have a TOG rating of 2.2. The recommended use for a blanket of this rating is temperatures between 65 - 70 degrees F, which is the range medical experts recommend for sleep environments. This blanket is 100% polyester and made in the USA .
We find this product to be excellent, keeping your baby warm while allowing them some space to wiggle their legs. We’re looking forward to offering this product once our store is up. You can find this sleep sack for around $36. Shop our sleep sacks to find this product.

Unique Sleep Sack and Swaddle Combo Baby Blanket - May help prevent SIDS
Did you know that one way you can reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is by keeping blankets and clothing out of your baby’s face? An occurrence called rebreathing (the inhalation of carbon dioxide), has been tagged as a possible cause of sudden infant death syndrome. This may occur due to loose blankets or oversized sleeves near the baby’s face.
With a little research, we at blanketmybaby.com discovered a unique swaddling blanket/sleep sack combo that converts to allow for multiple uses as your baby grows. The combo blanket is specially designed to stay a safe distance from baby’s face.
Below is some information about the 2-in-1 product called the Halo SleepSack Swaddle.
• Comes in three fabric options: 100% organic cotton, 100% cotton or micro-fleece
• Available in numerous colors and patterns
• It’s the only product that carries the gold seals from First Candle/SIDS Alliance and the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics, leading SIDS organizations and health professionals suggest the use of wearable blankets to provide a safe sleep environment for infants. A percentage of our sales go to First Candle/SIDS Alliance and the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths to support SIDS research and education.
