The Ultimate Receiving Blanket. Really.

by Erinn

There are a few things I look for in a baby blanket: soft, large enough to swaddle and well made. If it comes in a great pattern, is loved by celebrities or is made in the USA, that is all gravy. In my experience all babies love a good swaddle and finding the right blanket for the job is the key to some sleep. For you AND the baby!

I will save you the trouble of searching, I found a great swaddling blanket at swaddledesigns.com. the great people at swaddle designs were kind enough to send me three products to review from their company, the ultimate receiving blanket, the baby lovie and the baby burpies.
The first thing I noticed about all of them were how soft and well made they were! They all took a test drive in my washing machine and came out perfect.

Did you miss the chapter on swaddling in your baby book? Have no fear, swaddling instructions are sewn on the blanket! Perfect for Grandmas or Dads who often forget just how to do it!
Swaddling is so important for sleeping better, reducing the risk of SIDS and reducing colic.
Any baby would be attached to this lovie with its soft satin border and satin back. Remember to order more then one so you can rotate one into the wash! The baby burpie is a generous size and very absorbent, a must have in a burp cloth!
I love this ultimate receiving blanket so much I will be ordering more.
The fabric choices are amazing and perfect for any new mother and this is a gift any new mother would love.

    Using loose baby blankets is found to be dangerous as they can cover up infant’s mouth while sleeping so all blankets I bought for my baby are wearables. Wearable blankets can help baby sleep well and safe and can be one of the best gifts you can give to a new baby.
