Baby blankets are something every new baby should have or get as a gift. As we all know there are different types of baby blankets, they come in a variety of sizes, colors, textures, prices, and brands. Blankets are mostly used to cover while sleeping but can also be used as a mat, a throw, or a wrap after a hooded baby towel.
Children often become attached to their blanket. This blanket bonding happens most of the time before the baby's first birthday. As the baby reaches that point when they become inseparable from their blanket, the parents learn to appreciate the fact that a blanket can be such a helpful tool, a soother for overtired baby, or colic one.
A baby blanket is a very popular baby shower gift. Today there is a nice selection of unique baby blankets out there that range in price from ten to two hundred dollars, depending on the brand, style, baby blankets crocheted, and size.
Some blankets come with feet. You wrap or swaddle baby five different ways. It is designed for the baby on the go and works well for car seats, swings, and strollers. The swaddling baby blankets are capable of calming fussy babies, helping them to sleep faster, more efficiently, and longer, reducing incidents of colic, aiding breastfeeding, and reducing the likelihood that baby will accidentally scratch its own face. There was a study in 1992 that parents should avoid placing babies on their stomachs to sleep. Any baby sleeping face down risks having blankets cover its face. This cause baby to re- breath air that is high in carbon dioxide resulting in asphyxia. Babies should only sleep on their backs or sides.
Personalized baby blankets are not only unique; they make a statement about the thoughtfulness of the giver. Personalized baby gifts become instant heirlooms that are saved and treasured long after baby is fully grown. The only drawback of the giver, of course, is that in order to be personalized properly one must know in advance the name of the baby and, have it spelled correctly.

Do your research before purchasing baby blankets. Buy a blanket your baby will enjoy than another cheap item to wear and tear.
