Whether The Baby Will Be Inside Or Out
If you are in a cool environment or planning on going outdoors a nice soft fleece blanket is great
. Cashmere, chenille, and heavy cotton are also great choices when its cold and they also work well in medium to cool climates as cotton is breathable and can be airy. There are heavy blankets and thin blankets- meant more for swaddling baby. Some of the thinner cotton blankets are perfect for the summertime and if you are going out on a hot day. Remember that even if you are outdoors on a warm day the baby will still need protection from the sun and wind so keeping his body temperature constant is important.Many new moms often receive special knitted or crocheted blanket as gifts and these are perfect for using as throws or laying gently over baby while on a walk or in her car seat. Its best not to use these blankets as swaddlers since the yarn can become entangled in babies hands and more if they try to wiggle.When choosing baby blankets, just as with other items for the infant, safety should always be your first priority. Blankets should not have any holes or gaps that the baby might get caught on so always double check the blanket before wrapping or placing baby in one as even the washing machine can cause unknowing damage.One of the more common questions that people have concerning wool blankets is, how do I clean them? This type of blanket requires a little more special attention than your regular cotton blanket on your bed. Here are some tips on how to clean and care for your wool blanket. Unless you have had a major spill, a wool blanket should only be cleaned once or twice a year with normal usage. If you need to remove dirt or other debris from your wool blanket you can usually do this pretty easily with a brush. Just brush the blanket lengthwise and you will be fine. If you do have a spill or get a stain on your blanket
sign boards, clean it immediately if at all possible. You really want to try and avoid letting the stain settle into the fabric. When first cleaning any stain you should take a white cloth or towel and blot out as much of the stained area as you can. Whatever you do, be sure to avoid rubbing the stain. You will only make it worse.If the stain will not come out by following these tips you should take it to the dry cleaners. You can use a stain removing solution as long as it is approved for use on wool. Some are, some are not, so you need to be sure before using it. It's usually a good idea to test any stain remover on an inconspicuous area first. To dry your wool blanket, hang it outside away from the sunlight. Direct sunlight can fade the blanket. Never put a wool blanket in the clothes dryer.
