At your baby shower you will be surprised at how many precious baby blankets (often called “receiving blankets”) you will get. Don’t get disappointed, if you’re a "first time Mom" because you will use them more than you know! From the time your beautiful baby comes into this world until they are 3 or so, you will use a blanket for so many reasons.
Newborns are swaddled in precious blankets and that will more than likely be the first pictures that you take, your little one in the hospital baby blanket. Swaddling is just one of the first things that you learn about a newb
orn and exactly how to use the blanket to make the baby feel warm and secure.You will use a baby blanket in the baby nursery. You will have many in the drawer but some will stay to throw over the side of the crib for quick use or if one gets “soiled”.
Your blanket will also be used later on to spread out on the floor for your baby to either look around or just play. The blanket will also act at times as cushion in the carseat or carrier for your baby. I know at times we grab the baby blanket when we don’t have access to a burp cloth or rag when “spit up” occurs.
A beautiful blanket will sometimes act as a comfort item for your baby as he or she gets older and many times a photographer will ask for a baby blanket for your child’s portrait, so you pick out your fanciest one.
Whether you are using one of the beautiful blankets you received at your shower, or one that Aunt Edna made, you will use your large amounts of blankets. Whether the blankets are organic/bamboo blankets, wovan blankets or the “snuggy” type of blanket or a "swaddling baby blanket", your baby will feel safe and secure with his or her “favorite blanky”.
