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.

Published April 9, 2011 | Which should you use: Swaddle Blankets Or Baby Blankets?
Swaddling is a time- tested technique that is used to comfort and soothe an infant. The act of swaddling involves wrapping the baby up in a warm blanket so that it does not flail its limbs too much, with the result that the baby can feel safe and secure and enjoy the ambience of its mother’s womb.
If you are a new parent, you must be confused at to what you should use to swaddle your baby: swaddle blankets or baby blankets?
Below is a comparison of swaddle blankets and baby blankets.
* Safety: While swaddling, you cannot overheat your baby. Nor should you wrap your baby up too tightly so that it is unable to move its limbs at all. Both are problems that are faced by parents who use a normal baby blanket. Swaddle blankets are made of light- weight and breathable fabric that don’t get too warm. They are stretchable as well which means that the baby’s body can fit snugly into them. Also swaddling blankets are flame- resistant.
* Design: Swaddle blankets come in the right shape and size that makes them perfect to swaddle your baby. Baby blankets are multi- purpose and may not be suitable for the particular thing you have in your mind, for instance, wrapping your baby a multiple times.
* Material: You can get swaddle blankets in materials ranging from organic cotton to muslin cotton. Such variety is impossible to find in case you are shopping for normal baby blankets.
