How to wrap a blanket

2. Wrap your baby’s feet first

3. Quickly wrap up one side of the blanket (usually recommended for the mother's left side).

How big is the blanket?

A swaddle is a general term for wrapping products used by newborns and young children when they go out. How old should a swaddle be used for? Swaddles are mostly used within the first 4 months after a baby is born. Generally speaking, a swaddle can be used until the baby is 1 year old. But now, in order to extend the service life of cradles, many cradles can be used until the baby grows up. They can be used as cradles before the age of one, and as quilts after the age of one, or they can be used as a cushion under the baby when sleeping.

What material is good for baby blankets?

A baby swaddle is a small nest for the baby to shelter from the wind, so in addition to the correct way of wrapping, the material requirements are also very high. So what material is better to choose for baby quilt? Let’s take a look together.

Most blankets are made of cotton, the most common of which are spray-bonded cotton, which is acrylic cotton. They are not windproof and are basically as warm as an adult's sweater, making them suitable for indoor use. The surface material is mostly cotton, which is suitable for babies and fireproof. The common blankets on the market are divided into two categories: spring and summer styles and autumn and winter styles.

The spring and summer products are thin products mainly made of knitted and twill fabrics, and are mainly suitable for use in an environment of 15-25 degrees Celsius. The autumn and winter models are warm products, mainly made of pure cotton fabric filled with 80g-150g of various thermal insulation cotton products. They are also made of raschel and various blanket materials.

When the weather is hot in the summer, we can choose lighter materials, such as gauze, silk, etc.; when it is coldest in winter, or when you need to go out, ordinary cotton or quilted blankets are not warm enough. At this time, it is best to choose a down core to ensure that the baby will not catch a cold when going out.

Another thing to note is that no matter what material it is, it is best to use pure cotton on the surface, because pure cotton is moisture-absorbent and breathable, feels soft, has strong warmth retention, and can give the baby the most gentle care!
