Envelopes and Footmuffs For Newborns



How to choose children's receiving blanket that can also be used for walks?

The happiest moment of the woman's life, the birth due day, is approaching. The first thing a new mum should consider is fancy outfit for the going-home day. Many parents mistakenly find a receiving blanket for newborn to be a useless invention hence the doubts whether the item is worth buying and whether this clothing will come in handy after getting home.

Why do I need the one?

Regular blankets originally preceded receiving ones. Children were wrapped into a lacy cover and brought home. Bulky blanket and constant swaddling make the process too complicated. Lightweight, practical, and lovely receiving wraps for newborns came instead of regular cotton blankets.

But apart from benefiting a ceremony of discharge from maternity home, they feature other useful purposes:

  • Act as a warm cocoon into a stroller for the first outings, making it very easy to get the sleeping baby from the stroller and into the crib without waking him up.
  • Transforming receiving blanket for newborn can subsequently change into a blanket or jumpsuit when the baby gets older.
  • It perfectly replaces warm overall when going for a walk in autumn-spring days. This is especially handy in the spring when the sun is warming the stroller. If your baby gets suddenly hot you can unzip the blanket and pull out child’s arms, without any disturbance for his sleep. With a true overall on, such actions are more complicated.

Hooded newborn wrap is much comfortable as compared to a regular blanket that is also heavier. A regular blanket can slide aside exposing those bare little feet or open up a slot for an icy gust of wind. In addition, jumpsuits as well as blankets shackle body movements making a lot of babies unhappy and thus weeping. Receiving blanket provides more room so baby feels comfortable.
