Blanket, without it we cannot imagine a complete layette.
In this article we will try to answer common questions:
1. What to follow when choosing a blanket for a newborn and baby, so that it performs its function best?
2. What is better for the baby: bamboo or cotton blanket?
Warm, soft, nice-to-touch blanket, often becomes the first cuddle for our little ones. It soothes, wraps, gives a sense of security. Blankets are useful almost every day whether at home, on a walk or on a trip so we undoubtedly need blankets of different sizes.
1. What to pay attention to when choosing a blanket:
- first of all, the material from which the blanket is made
Safety is key, so the blanket must be made of high-quality materials that are hypoallergenic, cuddly and gentle for the baby's sensitive skin. The better the material we choose, the greater the comfort for the baby. Choosing a good quality blanket will serve longer even despite frequent washing, will not stretch and mold. You can choose from cotton, bamboo, alpaca, knitted, muslin blankets. You will find them in our store, we guarantee the quality of our blankets and ensure that they will serve for many years.
- Blanket size is different for a newborn and another for a baby
Opinions are very divided here and everyone adjusts the size depending on what the blanket is to be used for, whether for the crib, stroller or travel. The safest and most practical is to choose the dimensions of 80×90 cm, such a size is neither too large nor too small. For a newborn baby, the blanket can not be too large, for safety reasons. Larger blankets in the size of 80x100 cm you can successfully use to cover in bed, as a mat on which you put the baby, for example, on the floor at the guests.
- Blanket properly adapted to the season
Some people think that in the summer the blanket is not needed, nothing more wrong, a light blanket will protect the baby from the sun, insect bites, and when the temperature drops in the evening, will not allow the baby to get chilled. For this time of year, bamboo blankets are perfect, which are non-irritating, non-allergenic, lightweight, breathable, protect from the sun and do not cause overheating. They have thermoregulatory and antibacterial properties, while being cuddly to the touch.
In spring and autumn when the weather is different a cotton blanket, which is slightly thicker, will work. Cotton is a material that breathes, is safe for the baby's skin, while providing thermal comfort.
In winter, you need a warm blanket, which will work well for walks on cold days. Cotton and bamboo blankets on the lining will warm up very well, and at the same time are nice to the touch.
- Appearance of the blanket
Appearance is the least important thing, but the large selection ensures that we can easily buy a blanket that, in addition to being safe for the skin, nice to the touch, is also beautiful and often matched to the arrangement of either the room or the stroller. To choose from in our store you have many colors and designs, certainly every mother will find the perfect one for her baby.
Completing the layette, we buy nests, cones, clothes, caps, but toddlers grow out of them very quickly, the blanket will stay with you much longer :) therefore it is worth choosing well.
2. What is better for the baby: bamboo or cotton blanket?
We will look at their properties, durability, air permeability, hygienic, and the effect on the baby's delicate skin
Bamboo blankets are a total hit! The appeal of these blankets is due to their softness and properties. Bamboo blankets are incredibly soft and pleasant to the skin, and the most important feature is that they are hypoallergenic. If your little one is prone to allergies, then with a bamboo blanket, you don't have to worry about it. In addition, they have thermoregulatory properties, meaning that they warm you up on cool days and cool you down on hot days. Bamboo blankets are easy to wash, and at the same time they are resistant to the growth of bacteria and fungi, which means that it provides greater protection against microbes and allergens.
On the other hand, cotton blankets are a total comfort for toddlers. In addition to being soft, they have many other advantages. First of all, they are safe for the baby's skin. In addition, cotton is very breathable, so the toddler will not overheat so much. And most importantly, cotton blankets are durable and easy to clean. You don't need to wash them at high temperatures or use special laundry detergents, as ordinary powders will do just fine. This is really a great choice for all parents who appreciate comfort and simplicity.
In conclusion, both bamboo and cotton blankets have their advantages. If you want softness and comfort, both materials will be suitable. However, if you are looking for a blanket with additional anti-allergenic properties and better air permeability, a bamboo blanket will be a better choice. Remember, however, that it always depends on individual preferences and the needs of your baby.
