4. Baby blanket quality is very important in both your own and in newborn gifts.
The type of fabric chosen for the outside' baby blankets makes a huge difference with the extra washing. Plain cotton is probably the most durable and long lasting, but other types may be used as well. Jersey knit (t-shirt material) is great for night-time swaddling because it stretches a bit and helps the infant stay snug as a bug. Satin framed baby blankets may be better suited for naps or play because some babies love the slick feeling of the satin. Velour lined blankets are soft and cuddly, extra warm for that precious newborn or for the colder winter months.
