Receiving Blankets

Babies are fragile, and they need as much protection, attention, and comfort as their parents can possibly give them. They are rarely, if ever, as delicate as when they are newborn. Once they exit the naturally nurturing environment of the womb, they cry out to regain that sense of warmth and amenity. That is why obstetricians, nurses, and any maternity professionals almost immediately wrap newborn children in special fabrics known as receiving blankets.

These special sheets are different in form and function from other blankets that expecting parents look into buying. Receiving blankets can swaddle just as well as the type we call ""swaddling blankets."" Yet they are smaller, making them just the right size for newborns. They also tend to be made of sturdier materials, allowing them to clean up the many kinds of messes that infants make, survive the washer and dryer, and come out good as new.

In short, doctors wrap newborns in receiving blankets for a reason, and having a set of such sheets at home can be great for babies and parents alike.
