Does your newborn need swaddling? Wrap her up in a stretchy thermal knit. Burping? Fold a combed cotton square over your shoulder. Diaper change? Lay a soft panel of flannel across the cushion. Not just another pretty piece of fabric, receiving blankets have work to do.
Their first, and most important, job starts just hours after baby is born. Look in a hospital nursery and chances are you'll see a row of newborns snugly wrapped in pink and blue warming blankets, also called swaddling blankets.
Swaddling (tightly wrapping) an infant in a thin blanket is a traditional and oft-recommended aid for not only improving baby's quality and length of sleep, but also calming and comforting a colicky or fussy baby. Some experts also suggest that swaddling is soothing because simulates that tightly folded security baby felt while still in the womb.
Receiving blankets may vary in size depending how they're to be used. Swaddling sizes may be cut a little wider to allow plenty of room for tucking, or have specially designed features to better wrap baby, such as the Amazing Miracle Blanket
