Blankets are an essential item for any baby. They provide warmth, comfort, and security, all of which are crucial for a baby's well-being. Blankets are used to keep your baby warm while sleeping, playing, and when out and about in the car seat or pram.

Blankets can also be used as a way to swaddle your baby, which can help them feel secure and calm, as it mimics the feeling of being in the womb.

Blankets for babies should be made of soft, breathable materials such as cotton or bamboo to avoid overheating and skin irritation against babies delicate skin. When it comes to size, a baby blanket should be big enough to keep your baby warm, but not so big that it's a suffocation risk. A good rule of thumb is a blanket size of 100cm by 75cm.

Babies need to be kept warm, especially when they are young and their bodies have not yet developed the ability to regulate their own body temperature. Blankets provide insulation and help to keep a baby's body heat in, which helps them to stay comfortable and cosy.

In addition, blankets can be rolled to support tummy time, which is important for strengthening a baby's neck and back muscles.
