Prior to be a self-sufficient human, infants require many things. Infants need assistance in cleaning, bathing, eating, and even in staying warm. Baby blankets can assist in this regard as they enable the parent to choose from many different kinds of fabrics to warm the child with as well as providing an area of customization of the child’s clothing attire in line with the parent’s choice of style or logo preference.

In infancy, the first style of blanket a child will encounter is the receiving blanket. Typically this blanket is the first ultra soft blanket a baby will be wrapped in after being born. These baby blankets will sometimes hold a special memory for the mother and therefore retain an ethereal significance.

Swaddling blankets are similar to receiving baby blankets because, as with all infant blankets, the goal is to encompass the child completely giving them a secure feeling and a bastion of warmth. These blankets enjoy a reputation where the child is coddled and comforted and it is for this reason that they are important in the recognition of the different kinds of blankets.

Similar to the nonphysical attraction from the receiving blanket, a keepsake blanket can also hold significant nonmonetary value. The infant can become attached to this blanket and this blanket is named this way because it is the hardest for the infant to let go of when growing up into a child because of the comfort they attained from it in their developmental phase.

The style of the blanket is usually a main determinant in the decision to obtain baby blankets. Styles are wide ranging for both boys and girls and can entail specific geometric patterns such as polka dots, or represent naturally occurring patterns such as leopard spots,  zebra stripes, or any other animal skin pattern along with solid colors, as well as logos from companies, organizations, movies, cartoons, and sports teams. This is an area of customization that allows the parents to interject their style preference to customize the scenery around the baby. A blanket can be printed or stitched with almost any imaginable logo, saying, location, picture, or item in mind. In this regard, baby blankets are more customizable than other baby products.

The majority of this article has focused on premade or customizing premade baby blankets, but they can also be made from almost any textile material. Cotton, fleece, flannel, polyester, synthesized materials as well as any combination among the many materials available can be used to sew, stitch, and crochet a blanket.

Another possibility in the blanket frontier for an infant is a stroller blanket and could be printed with common themes such as route 66 or the classic movies such as Treasure Island. All of the blankets mentioned come in seasonal colors and styles to match the occasion or holiday. Baby blankets have been shown to be an important factor in the baby’s health as well as an area in which the parent can determine the clothing and materials around the infant, customizing their visual surroundings.
