Cotton Muslin Blankets Wonderful As Swaddle Blankets
When you first look at a cotton muslin swaddling blanket, you may be surprised that it looks a bit like gauze and not thick enough to keep your baby warm. But first looks can be deceiving. Cotton muslin blankets may just be the best swaddling blanket for your baby.
A blanket made of 100% cotton muslin is the best quality blanket for swaddling you can find. This is because it is not only soft, but it gets softer when you repeatedly wash it. Also, it is lightweight, which makes for the perfect way to snugly wrap your baby. So is getting cotton muslin swaddling blankets the best option? Here are the reasons why we think the answer is yes.
Cotton muslin is a breathable fabric, so even if your baby gets its head covered by its blanket mistakenly, it will have no problems breathing through it.
It is stretchable, which ensures that your baby feels safe, secure and most importantly, comfortable when wrapped in it.
The lightweight fabric ensures that the fabric does not get overheated. Your baby can self- regulate the temperature.
Cotton muslin blankets come in large sizes which make it possible for you to wrap your baby any way you want to.
The fabric does not shrink even if repeatedly washed.
Don’t buy cheap quality swaddling blankets for your baby when by paying just a little more, you can get high- quality 100% cotton muslin ones.

Published April 20, 2011 | Choosing the Right Swaddle Blanket For Your Baby
If you have heard about how important swaddling your new born baby is, you must also know that choosing the right swaddling blanket to go with it is equally important. There are many kinds of swaddling blankets available in the market, considering the different needs babies may have, and choosing the perfect one can be tough.
There are mainly 3 kinds of blankets for you to choose from: the large square ones, the T- shaped ones with foot pockets and the zippered- in kind.
Up to 4 weeks, your baby will do well with any kind of blanket considering that at this stage it will not move around too much. Any cute blanket that appeals to you is good, as long the fabric is nice and allergenic- free.
After about 4 weeks, your baby will start to wiggle and stretch more forcefully and that is when you are going to need another kind of swaddle blanket.
If you choose a square blanket, buy a 45″ x 45″ one, as this is a really good size that will not put too much pressure on your baby when it is wrapped up in it, and which you can unravel a little when it is awake. If you opt for the T-shaped with a foot pocket, make sure you get one that is stretchable. If you go for the zippered in kind, you can use it for times when your baby sleeps. This kind will keep your baby tight and secure for a long time.
