Receiving Baby Blanket
I showed you in the previous post how you can easily make baby receiving blankets. Hoping that lesson was a good one, I have something else prepared for you. I want to give you some great tips on how to use the many baby receiving blankets that you probably have in your cupboard.
Of course, their main purpose is to keep you baby warm. If your baby is a little bit cold, you can lay an extra one on him until the temperature of the body gets to a comfortable level; then you can remove it.
When it comes to swaddling a baby, that’s what baby receiving blankets are:). Read our advices on how to swaddle a baby in a baby blanket to learn more about this.
Baby receiving blankets can be also used as burp cloths. They are larger than normal burp cloths and that means that they can cover and protect better your clothes from the mess that a baby might make when you a burping him.
Another great way that I used baby receiving blankets in was for cleaning the milk that my baby dropped while I was breast feeding him. Also, with another blanket, I created a cover to get some privacy while I the baby was eating.
You can use a light blanket to cover your baby when the sun is too hot and that should also protect him from insects.
If you want to change your baby on a public surface and you want to be sure that he won’t get any germs, lay a baby receiving blanket on that surface and so, your baby will be ok.
Playtime can also take place on a baby blanket, especially if the playground is not in your house where you are sure that everything is clean.
You can roll baby receiving blankets up and use them to position your baby in a car seat or baby crib. Place a rolled blanket on each side of the baby’s head in order to make sure that it stays straight in the car seat. Also, if you place the rolled baby blankets on each side of the baby’s body when he is in the crib, this will prevent him from rolling on the side or on his tummy.
I know that these are just a few ways you can use your baby blankets. If you want to point out other methods, please feel free to share them with us.
