Baby Blankets With Teddy Bear

Baby blankets and teddy bears have been childhood favorites for years.  It only makes sense to combine baby blankets with teddy bears.  That’s exactly what Angel Dear has done, and Blanket My Baby offers these blankets at a low price with personalization available.  Whether you are having a girl or a boy, we have you covered because we have teddy bear lovies that are both blue and pink.

Why buy both a baby blanket and a teddy bear?  With these animal lovies, you can combine the friendship that a teddy bear gives with the comfort of a security blanket.  It’s the best of both worlds.  Your little boy or girl will love these blankets, and we offer them for a low price of only $13.  You can shop all of our Angel Dear animal blankets here.  We not only have teddy bears, but lions, tigers, lambs, frogs, ducks, zebras, giraffes, hippos, puppies, kitties and more.

Many of our customers like to have more than one of these security blankets on hand.  That way, one can be with your child and the other can be in the wash.  There is probably very little question that once your baby lays eyes on the cute teddy bear head and feels the softness of these blankets, they will want to be with their new friend very often.  Make these blankets even more special by adding a name through our personalization option.

aden + anais on sale!!!

We’ve lowered our prices again on all of our aden and anais 4 packs.  These fantastic swaddling blankets normally go for $45 retail, and you can get them on our site for only $39.95.  Plus, we offer flat rate shipping so you can stock up or buy some for that next baby shower that is coming up!

We are constantly trying to bring you superior products at great prices.  There are more and more retailers who are carrying these blankets, because they are truly wonderful.  So, our goal is to beat their prices!  Don’t be fooled by the aden and anais blankets you see in Target and Babis R Us.  These are not the same blankets as the original.  The quality is not as good.  If you don’t believe me, read some of the reviews here.  See Ed’s and Better Off’s comments.  If we truly believed these products were better, would we link to them???  Stick with the original, 47 x 47′s, which we have plenty of in stock.

How To Swaddle A Baby – Video

I think my wife is the Swaddle Queen.  We knew going into our pregnancy that these aden + anais blankets were great.  Our customers tell us all the time, and the swaddle blankets are our top sellers.  Well, there is good reason why.  The blankets are perfect for swaddling.

In this video, you’ll see why they are so good for swaddling.

1. They are large, 47 x 47 (these blankets are larger than the aden and anais at Target or Babies ‘R Us)
2. They are stretchy – you can wrap the blanket around the baby and give it a good tug to secure your swaddle.  When you have a fussy baby or an escape artist, like we have, a tight swaddle is a must.  You don’t want the baby waking himself up i the middle of the night by an arm out and scratching his face.
3. They are soft – just one touch, and you’ll know exactly what I mean
4. They are breathable – your baby will stay warm, but he won’t overheat.  We’ve had hot 90+ degree weather here in September.  Wrapping our baby in these blankets is still fine because they breath so well.

There are certainly a lot of great baby blankets out there, and each serve their purpose.  But when it comes to swaddling, you can’t go wrong with aden & anais.

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.

Crib Bedding Sets On The Way!

Well, we’ve heard the requests and now we are answering.  Blanket My Baby is proud now to not only offer a fantastic selection of baby blankets, which include swaddling blankets, security blankets, personalized blankets, animal blankets, stroller blankets and more, but now we are offering …. drum roll please ….. crib bedding sets!!!

We will be busy adding baby bedding for boys and girls as well as neutral sets.  Also, as usual, we are striving to offer an excellent customer experience.  So, if you click into our colors for our navigation, there will be a sub category for baby crib bedding sets.  Shop by pink, blue, green, yellow, black and white, and more!

Check back often as we will be adding new sets in the weeks to come.  We hope to offer a line that has something for everyone at great prices.

When a new baby is on the way, we recognize that there are few things more exciting than decorating a nursery.  Baby blankets certainly have their place in raising a baby, but you can’t cover a crib with only baby blankets.  This is why we’ve decided to expand our line to crib bedding as well.  We hope you enjoy!

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.
