For every mother, her baby’s protection against cold is very important. We are going to help you take care of this problem with advices and tips on how to choose the perfect blanket for your little one.
Choosing appropriate baby blankets may seem as an easy job. It may be, but keep in mind that there are some details that you must take into consideration before making the decision of purchasing such an item.
Here is a list of questions that you should ask before buying a baby blanket:
- What size is the blanket, is it appropriate for your baby, is he fully covered by it?
- What shape does the blanket has? Is it a squarely, round or other geometrical shapes?
- What kind of fabric was used for making the blanket? Synthetic,organic or natural?
- What color should the baby blanket have? Does it match the baby crib or his clothes?:) For a future fashionable baby, that is very important (blue for baby boys and pink for little girls). Also, don’t forget that colors may influence upon your baby’s mood.
- Can the blanket be personalized with maybe a photo of your choice or some other designs?
- Do you want a double, simple or a quilted baby blanket?
- You would rather buy a two-sides blanket or not? Maybe in different colors.
- Is the material of the blanket napless or not? That is a very important detail when it comes to washing.
- If you choose to buy personalized baby blankets with different stickers or printings on it, can the paint harm your baby if he bites it or? We all know that babies love to chew on all sort of stuff. What if he is allergic to the chemicals from that print?
- Also, is the paint firmly attached to the wire? What happens to it when you wash the blanket?
- What weight should the blanket have? You should always choose a lighter one, because babies hate sleeping uncomfortable. And if their sleep is agitated, yours will be too. 500 grams is the best weight for a blanket.
- How would you prefer to wash the baby blankets? By hand or with the help of an washing machine?
- What’s the easiest way to dry a blanket after washing it so it won’t have too many wrinkles that could also influence your baby’s sleep?
- Do you want a blanket that requires ironing after washing or not?
- Does the fabric allows stains to be removed with no extra effort?
- Very important: for how many times can you wash the blanket and the material remains the same as it was when you bought it?
- What is the life cycle of the blanket? Your baby won’t be needing it for a very long time maybe, but who knows what the parents decide about having another child:)
- If you buy a baby blanket with purls, remember what we talked about earlier: baby have the tendency of putting everything in their mouth. Are baby blankets with purls really a must have?
- Babies also move a lot in their sleep. So you do not want to buy a blanket that has a tendency to slip from the child’s body, but remain in a stable position.
- How can the blanket be stored and how much space inside the closet requires?
- Very important, are the blankets assuring the baby the comfort that he needs? And in case he wets the bed, does it prevent him from exposing himself to the fluids?
- How warm are the baby blankets that you wish to purchase? When you feel them, the surface is warm or cold?
- Does the blanket allows air circulation or is it almost airtight?
- Is the baby exposed to any dangers such as suffocating himself by accident or over-heating when being covered by the blanket?
- If you have twins, do you find suitable a blanket for the both of them in case they are sharing the same crib?
- Most importantly, can you afford the type of baby blanket that you wish for your little ones to have? Or what other options to buy one do you have, except the ride to the store. Maybe with just a few clicks, the blanket can come to you.
