The Perfect Baby Blanket
You are attending a baby shower for a loved one. Want to give a baby blanket? Here are a few helpful hints in choosing a baby blanket.
If you wish to give a baby blanket, think of this. Where will new baby live? In the warmer climates or in the spring to summer months, consider a lightweight blanket. For example, a cotton print with a soft backing, or a minky blanket, with no lining. This will be soft for baby, but light enough that baby won’t overheat. Another great choice: flannel! Flannel has been around for so long, and is still a big favorite. From swaddling precious one, to a light warm weather blanket that will shield from wind and direct sun, flannel blankets are always guaranteed to be used often!
Cooler weather requires a warmer blanket. Minky is a great choice, along with cotton chenille and again, flannel. Look for a blanket that contains a cotton lining, for extra warmth.
Styles vary from traditional to trendy, and pretty much everything in between. Make sure that your gift does not contain beads or appliques that may pose a safety hazard.
Proud to be an American? Look for baby blankets that are Made in the USA.
