A lot of new or expectant mothers become overwhelmed by the all the different types of blankets out there, let alone considerations like size, color, fabric, whether or not to monogram…it can all be a bit confusing. One of the most frequent questions we get over here at the Sleepytime Store is about receiving blankets.

A receiving blanket is a small blanket that, although it has a lot of uses, is primarily for wrapping a baby after a bath. It keeps babies warm and comfortable as the as they transition to the sensations of the tub to being dry.
One of our most popular receiving blankets is from Barefoot Dreams. Their CozyChic Receiving Blanket is superbly soft, and is embroidered with whimsical images perfect for comforting a young child.
