Blankets are one of the most important elements of baby equipment. Their primary function is to cover the child while sleeping or resting, but depending on the need they can serve as a mattress, protection from the sun, and also act as a mascot, which gives the child a sense of security. Therefore, buying a blanket should be a well thought-out choice.

Making a baby blanket

Blankets are close to babies from their first days of life. They are in direct contact with the baby's skin, and for this reason, the material and workmanship of the cover is very important. Baby blankets should be made of pleasant to touch fabric, which does not lose its softness even after washing. It is also important that the blanket is very flexible, so that the baby can be wrapped snugly. Moreover, the material should let the air through, not allowing the baby to overheat. A good example of such a fabric is minky fleece, which is characterised by great softness and a piped texture. Baby blankets made of material marked with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate are a guarantee of safety and high quality of the product. The blanket will not irritate baby's skin and will not lead to its over-sweating.

Size of baby blankets

The size of the blanket depends on where it is to be used and the age of the child. The smallest size works well as a cover for newborns. They fit well in the carry cot. Blankets of size 80x100 are suitable for babies and older children. They allow you to cover your baby thoroughly, but at the same time they do not get caught in e.g. pram wheels.
