subject: Baby Blankets Are Not Very Expensive As Well [print this page] The types of baby blankets that you choose to buy for your baby are important. Particularly in areas of varying climate (I.e., hot during the day then cold at night, along with extreme temperature shifts from one season to the next). There are three different kinds of baby blankets that most parents have in their baby repertoire. The first is knit blankets that are usually given as gifts from doting grandmothers. Next are multipurpose fleece, followed by lightweight cashmere blankets. Cashmere is comparable to fleece in both its temperature regulating ability and durability. The main reasons that knit and fleece blankets are often preferable is the cost. Cashmere is a little more expensive and you do need to take care when washing them to retain their soft plushness. It's recommended that you either wash them by hand, or use the gentle cycle of your washing machine when cleaning them. Probably the most common material is of course cotton. Perhaps the most common, and one of the best, choices is the hospital grade receiving blanket. What puts this baby blanket above many others on the list is its special interlocking cotton weave, once wrapped up, babies stay comfy, warm, and cozy; thanks in great part to the breathing properties of the special interlocking cotton weave. Another wonderful material to look for is muslin. Similar to typical cotton receiving fleece blankets, muslin also incorporates an open weave which allows your baby to stay warm and comfortable while still having just enough air flowing through the muslin weave to prevent overheating. Shapes, sizes, colors, and variety for blankets will not be an issue when it comes to personalization. At the time of order, you will have letter style choices and can include the baby's name or add the date, as well. Once you know the size of the blanket you have picked out; you will know how much information it will accommodate. Double check the spelling of the name and the arrival date before you place an order for personalization. It would be simply horrible if you received the blanket and something like the name was misspelled on it. Monogrammed blankets are available in all different types of fabrics and in many different colors. If you are buying a blanket as a gift, you may choose to get the blanket in a more neutral color so that it does not clash with the likes and dislikes of the baby's parents. There is one very small negative issue about buying a monogrammed baby blanket, this is the fact that the blanket can pretty much only be used by the one baby whom it was bought for and given to - this is not such a big deal, though, considering most will cherish this gift and keep it for their whole life.
