Cotton baby blankets are an underrated necessity for parents of newborns. Not only do they help keep the baby warm and snug, they are also great for feeding time as they provide a ready burp cloth. And the best part about baby blankets is that they are washable, so do not worry about getting them dirty. And believe me, they will definitely get dirty. Just pop them into the washer and then throw them into the dryer when they are done.
Baby blankets come in several fabrics, with cotton being the most popular, but you can also find chenille, velour, polyester and acrylic baby blankets. They are generally square shaped and are usually about 2 feet long on each side. They are also often reversible and may even have totally different designs on the front and the back.
