What is a baby blanket?

A baby blanket is a special type of blanket which is used to protect infants from the cold. But what is a blanket? A blanket refers to a piece of soft cloth large enough either to cover or to enfold a great portion of the user's body which is used when a person goes to sleep or is otherwise at rest. Baby blankets play the role in keeping the babies warm by trapping radiant bodily heat. In fact, many people both children and adults, use blankets as comfort objects. 

In terms of history, the term “ blanket” derives from the generalization of a specific fabric called Blanket fabric, a heavily napped woolen weave pioneered by Thomas Blanket (Blanquette) in the 14th century. Another origin is the French word for white, blanc. Regarding literature, William Shakespeare is believed to be the first person to use the verb blanket, meaning to 'cover with or as with a blanket' or the character Edgar in the play King Lear, published in 1608, said that “ My face ile grime with filth, Blanket my loins, else all my hair with knots.”

Blankets can be made from various materials, depending on the using purposes. For example, wool blankets, which are thicker and have more substantial fabric, will make users warmer. Other common made materials include cotton, woven acrylic, knitted polyester, fleece. 

Apart from baby blankets which are used for infants, blankets are used for various purposes such as in militaries, in picnics, etc.

How many types of baby blankets are there?

There are so many different options available for various types of baby blankets nowadays. That is tricky, sometimes, because you can find it difficult to know how to differentiate amongst them all. 

Baby blankets come in all shapes, sizes, colors, fabrics, and even custom designs such as  stuffed animals or exciting patterns or countless other details. People can also get any type of blanket personalized specifically for your baby such as a baby receiving a blanket with a name embroidered or printed on it. However, it is important to know exactly the different types of blankets and the uses of each type. 

Here, Printerval introduces four main types of baby blankets to you including receiving blankets, security blankets, swaddling blankets, and crib blankets.

Receiving Blanket

This type of blanket is seen as the most versatile and multifunctional of the four main types of baby blankets which is simple and lightweight and typically measures about one square yard and serves many purposes. In fact, a receiving blanket can be used to lay baby down on the floor or unfamiliar surface, to provide a buffer between baby and the outside world, to swaddle, catch spit-up and drool, and pretty much any other uses you could think of. That makes it a functional blanket. 

Security Blanket

A security blanket can provide a form of comfort for the baby so parents should consider purchasing this type of blanket for their new infant. Security blankets are typically made of soft plush or fleece and sometimes have a stuffed animal attached. However, because children tend to hold on to them and take them everywhere far into the toddler age, these blankets should be more durable. 

Swaddling Blanket

This type of blanket is similar to security blankets because they also help provide comfort, calm, and relaxation by keeping babies enveloped. Moreover, the swaddling blankets come with attachments that do up and make it easy to swaddle a baby. Some swaddling blankets can emain wrapped around the top half of the baby while the bottom is undone for diaper changes. Swaddling blankets are really comfortable for newborns as their softness can keep the baby soft and cozy while they sleep.

Crib Blanket

Crib blanket is available in many types including crib sheets, blankets and crib bedding sets. Remember that you should never use a blanket in a crib with a sleeping baby.

In conclusion, with a wide range of baby blankets today, it is smart to consider carefully the purpose to use and choose the right blanket for your little one.
