Ultimate Receiving Blanket by Swaddle Designs

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket from Swaddle Designs makes a perfect newborn baby gift. This ultra soft blanket will quickly become an everyday essential. It is not only highly functional but also incredibly stylish. The Ultimate Receiving Blanket measures 42 inches by 42 inches, which is much larger than a typical receiving blanket. This makes it ideally sized for swaddling your baby, or use as a privacy throw during breastfeeding, and also offers a soft space for tummy time.

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket features an award-winning design that was created by an RN and mother with consultations with PhDs in infant research. The blankets are large, square, and are stretchy when placed in the diamond position. Each blanket includes decorative edging and comes with swaddling instructions sewn onto the edge. The baby blanket is made of extra soft pre-shrunk cotton flannel and comes in a variety of colors and patterns. It is made in the USA and easily rolls up to fit into a diaper bag or purse.

The larger size of this receiving blanket makes it ideal for swaddling your infant. Pediatricians recommend swaddling to comfort newborns and reduce colic and fussiness. A Washington University study proved that swaddled infants sleep better and have fewer awakenings, thereby getting twice as much REM sleep. Swaddling can help make breastfeeding easier by keeping baby's hands and movements contained. It has been proven to reduce the incidence of SIDS as it makes babies more comfortable sleeping on their back.
