For some expectant parents, baby blankets may be fairly low down on the list of priority buys.
My advice is to think again – an organic cotton baby blanket is a truly versatile buy – for both the early months and beyond.
Firstly, in the early days a baby blanket is very handy for wrapping your baby up in (“swaddling”). Babies love being swaddled – it makes them feel safe ansd secure – after all they were used to being held tight for 9 months in their mummy’s tummies.
Out and about – a baby blanket is the ideal size for tucking round your baby in a pram or buggy to keep them warm and draught free. An ordinary household blanket will be too large and bulky.
Size matters – Make sure that you buy a large baby blanket of at least one metre square. A larger than normal baby blanket means that you can use it at night, as a pram or buggy blanket, or even during the day as a play mat. That way you get lots of use out of your baby blanket before you even remember the times you used it as an extra wrap or baby comforter.
