Baby Blankets

Baby blankets come in so many different fabrics and styles, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. While you surely received plenty of cute bedding pieces at your baby shower or from family and friends after your infant arrived, you may still find yourself needing the essentials. Many select a gift by choosing fun over function, and that can leave new parents in a bind! Below are some of the greatest blankets on the market for baby, none of them sacrificing their cuteness in order to be sensible.

In two adorable prints, the Cuddle Cover Blanket by Lima Bean Baby is a great blanket for the car seat or bassinet. Measuring 16" by 19", it is small enough to stick in a diaper bag, but large enough for a young child to snuggle up against and find safety and security on car rides or at bedtime.

If your baby has sensitive skin, consider purchasing an organic cotton blanket or throw, like the ABC Organic Cotton Receiving Blanket by American Baby Company. In a neutral bear design perfect either a boy or girl baby, the natural fabric composition will protect baby's easily irritated skin while keeping him warm and sound asleep. Sometimes a blanket even comes in the form of an outfit, which is the case of BeddieBye Microfleece Blanket .

Simply zip baby into the warm microfleece, and rest assured that the blanket will not fall out of a stroller or crib. Your little one is all curled up and fussiness is obliterated when he enjoys a customized fit and adjustable tabs. When choosing Baby Blankets, make sure they are free of embellishments and decor that can be hazardous for baby. These include those attached to large stuffed animals when an infant is still very small and at risk for suffocation. Danger can also come in the form of sewn-on buttons or other decorations that could potentially be pulled off by active little hands and swallowed. Keep your blanket collection cute, yet simple, and you will be free from these hazards every parent dreads.

Sometimes Baby Blankets can even fit the theme of a nursery, like Sozo blankets that come in ladybug and butterfly designs. From stars to sports, puppies to dinosaurs, there are plenty of appliques and designs available when you're looking for a blanket that will be both functional and attractive in your baby's room.
