Kids Blankets - Made out of Materials that are Gentle on Sensitive Skin • During the first few months of their life, your baby is going to be spending a lot of time sleeping. • That’s why choosing the right kids blankets is so important – both for their comfort and security. • Every family has different needs, but there are some common factors to keep in mind as you think about which blanket to buy.
CHOOSE THE MATERIAL CAREFULLY • A kids blankets should be made out of materials that are gentle on sensitive skin and breathable to make sleep comfortable. • How do you test to make sure that a blanket is breathable? • It’s surprisingly simple and low-tech – just hold the blanket up next to a fan. • If you can feel the breeze through the blanket, the material is breathable.
A good breathable material? • Cotton. Look for organic cotton and avoid synthetic materials if possible. • You’ll want to have a heavier blanket for winter and a lighter one for summer. When you do purchase a heavier blanket for winter, do not get a quilt or one that is soft and heavy. • These can contribute to SIDS – Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Keep in mind your local climate, too: you won’t need as many thick blankets if you live in a warm climate, but if you live in a colder clime, you’re going to want a thicker blanket to keep baby warm through the winter and beyond.
SAFETY IS A MUST • Avoid blankets that have loose tassels, fringes, or ribbons; babies can get tangled in them. This becomes slightly less of an issue as baby gets older. KEEP SIZE IN MIND • Baby blanket size is important – you want one that is big enough to keep baby warm, but not so big that the size overwhelms them.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BLANKET • The best kids blankets are sometimes not blankets at all! • A sleeping bag can be an excellent option both for very young babies (0-5 months) and infants who are a little older (5-12 months). • A sleeping bag eliminates worries about loose blankets in the crib, which could choke a sleeping infant. • It also ensures baby doesn’t throw off the blanket in the middle of the night – which often wakes them up crying.
