A blanket is the perfect item for keeping your baby nice and warm. It provides warmth, but also security and safety. But with so many options available, it can be difficult knowing which blanket to choose. Whether it’s a blanket for the car seat during a drive, in the stroller for a pleasant walk or to tuck your child snuggly into the crib at night, it's important to find a blanket that's both warm and right for the occasion.
The Right Baby Blanket Size
One of the most important factors that should be taken into consideration when purchasing a baby blanket is the size. Blankets are a great accessory in any baby room and can be placed as an underlay in a crib or bassinet or just be placed on top of your baby to cuddle up in. For this purpose, larger blankets such as 100 x 150 cm from
Jollein and
Meyco will provide a good fit and is also great to crawl under on the couch. If you are taking your child out, a smaller blanket provides more versatility. It will fit better in a car seat or a stroller while also being lighter, which will be helpful when you’ll already be bringing a lot of extras for the trip.
Bimbidreams and
Fixoni blankets are perfect for these excursions. You will find baby blankets in a wide range of sizes at Tiny Giggles.
Choose the Material
A baby blanket can be made of many types of materials so you should pick the right one for your child and the occasion. Blankets made of cotton are highly breathable and safe, but are above all comfortable to sleep under. Because the heat is regulated by the fabric, your child does not get too hot or too cold in bed. A lot of parents also go one step further and buy organic cotton baby blankets. These have the added benefits of being ideal for sensitive skin, sustainable by reducing water consumption in agriculture and are free from toxins. The GOTS certified cotton is a seal that guarantees that a fabric comes strictly from organic fibres, ensuring its quality and sustainability. Blankets from
Mayamoo are made of bamboo which provide thermoregulation, protecting babies against cold in the winter and ensures pleasant soothing in the summer with the added benefit that they are also anti-bacterial and anti-allergic. Bamboo fabric is naturally breathable, highly absorbent and has excellent moisture wicking capabilities. For extra warmth, you might want to consider wool which is naturally stain-, odor-, and crease resistant, and requires less washing.
Most blankets are machine washable 30°C or even 40°C. Depending on the material, some blankets might need less washes between use compared to others. Be aware that if you have a wool blanket, you’ll need to use a wool detergent and it’s recommended to wash by hand while avoiding fabric softener.
Colours and Styles
It's no surprise that a baby blanket is an eye-catcher in a baby room or in the stroller. Therefore, it's important to consider the style of the blanket as well. From colors and brands, there's a baby blanket for everyone. Does your little one prefer muted or bright colors? Should you go for a single pattern or design with a theme? Many blankets are double-sided with a different theme or colour on each side, so you can go with whatever fits your child’s mood. No matter what pattern or color you're looking for, we have a variety of options available. Shop our wide selection of baby blankets at tinygiggles.nl.
Baby Blanket For Every Occasion
Tiny Giggles offers a wide selection of blankets for everyday use that fits your lifestyle and needs. When looking for the right baby blanket for each season, have a look at the TOG value. The TOG value indicates the insulation value of the blanket. The higher the TOG value, the warmer the material. For the colder months, we recommend a TOG value between 2 -3. During warm, breezy days a TOG value of 1 is sufficient. Also consider a baby blanket with 2 or 3 layers to keep your child at the right temperature in the spring / autumn and winter. These thicker blankets like some from
Lässig can also double as a playmat on the floor for crawling or playing.
If used in a crib or cot, you can fold the sheet around the blanket at the top. This doesn't just look good, it also means that you won't have to wash the blanket as often. It's a good idea to have at least two blankets for each bed. This way, you'll never be left without blankets in case of a leaking diaper or spitting accident.
