American Baby Company Receiving Blanket Review

Posted by on November 13, 2012 Comments Off

American baby organic Receiving BlanketSwaddling a baby has been practiced for generations and is enjoying a strong revival because parents are realizing the numerous benefits swaddling baby can provide. A swaddle baby will be kept warm and comfortable during the cold winter. The cozy feeling will remind a newborn of their time in the mother’s womb, which will calm and soothe babies who show signs of colic. Additionally, swaddling a newborn will help them sleep on their back, which is recommended sleep position of American Pediatric Association. With all these benefits, parents just need to find the right swaddle blanket.

The American Baby Company is a wonderful organic receiving blanket that can meet the swaddling needs of all parents. The fabric for the blanket is extremely soft and stretchy. The softness you can feel upon the touch. The stretchiness makes it great for swaddling because you need a little pull to create a nice wrap around your baby for them to be securely tucked in. For those who like teddy bears, then you will find a treat with this receiving blanket. On one corner of the blanket you can find a cute teddy bear. The bear embroidery does get rough after some washes, but the cotton fabric overall is durable and soft after multiple washes.

The color of the blanket is mocha and this neutral color makes it great for mixing and matching with other items you might have to dress your baby in. The color does not fade with multiple washing and can be machine washed and tumbled dry in most dryers. This make cleaning the blanket convenient for busy parents.

This is a 100% organic cotton fabric. So, parents do not need to worry about the potential of harsh chemicals being used to prepare the blanket. No chemical, pesticides were used in making of the materials that went into this wonderful swaddle blanket.

On disadvantage that I noticed about this product is the size. It’s a good 30×40”, but 30×40” is relatively on the small side when compared to other swaddle blankets that are on the market. If you have a bigger baby, then this receiving blanket might be too small and your baby would easily out grow the blanket in a month. There are some swaddle blankets that go as big as 47”x47” that are also made with high quality cotton.

The major plus about this blanket is it’s relatively affordable for an organic swaddle blanket. Priced at $9.99 on Amazon, it’s the most budget friendly blanket you can find. After reading more into the company, we found out why. The blanket is actually manufactured outside of America and that is why we think it’s affordable. Even though it is made overseas, the swaddle blanket is still a top quality product that is great for swaddling your baby.

Overall, the American Baby Company receiving blanket is a great buy for parents who are looking for an affordable organic swaddle blanket for their little one.

Hudson Baby Organic Receiving blanket

Hudson Baby Organic Receiving blanket

Are you looking for an affordable organic receiving blanket for your newborn? Well, one the best options out there for new parents is the Hudson Organic receiving blanket. It’s made of 100% organic cotton, which parents should appreciate since no toxic chemicals were used in the cotton growth or post process treatment of the fabrics.  Thus, you can rest assure that nothing harmful will be contacting your newborn’s delicate skin.

Moms loved the Hudson organic receiving blanket because of how soft and lightweight the fabric is. Being lightweight makes carrying the blanket easy for parents on go. But the receiving blanket is thick enough to keep newborns warm during the cold nights. Since it’s thicker, it’s not easily transparent, so it acts as a better shade cover and breastfeeding cover (other wonderful options you can use the receiving blanket for).  The Hudson baby organic receiving blanket is not too stretchy like Aden & Anais and not too rigid like some flannel swaddle blankets. The fabric is stretchy enough to create a little tug for folding a perfect swaddle.

The receiving blanket is a good size (measuring 40×40”) compared to other swaddle blankets on the market and it’s not too big and this can make swaddling a little easier because you don’t have to worry about tucking away the excess blanket.

Any great receiving blanket has to be durable and this Hudson baby blanket easily meets that criteria. After exposing the blankets to multiple machine washes, moms rave about how the baby blanket retains its softness and color. They come in three wonderful colors, light blue, light pink, and white for your newborn.

Give it a try as this Hudson organic receiving blanket is one of the most affordable organic blankets you can buy on Amazon.

Under the Nile Organic Swaddle Blanket Review

Posted by on May 17, 2012 Comments Off

Are you looking for a high quality swaddle blanket? Then you might want to consider the organic swaddle blanket made by Under the Nile. The swaddle blankets are available in color shades of blue, pink, and sage. The colors are lightly textured and are not bold or loud. This makes the blankets great for matching with many bodysuits, onesies, and other baby items.

The swaddle blanket fabrics are made of 100% organic Egyptian cotton and are as soft as you can image. The softness of the fabric is durable and will last for years after multiple washing and drying. As one mom positively commented, “It survived one baby and I’m going to use it for my next baby.” Such praises are given to this Under the Nile swaddle blanket.

The swaddle blanket fabrics are lightweight and stretchy. A bulky, thick, and heavy blanket will make it difficult to carry around especially if you are a parent that is constantly on the go. The lightweight design adds to the stretchy characteristic of the fabric. A little stretch will make swaddling a little easier for parents because you can make a tighter and more secure swaddle.

The fabrics are also made from 100% organic cotton. That means no chemicals were used in farming or post processing of the cotton to make this wonderful swaddle blanket. Parents can rest assure that their baby’s skin will only come in contact with something natural and not worry about any chemicals leeching out.

The swaddle blanket is 34” x 34” and this is relatively small compared to other blankets like Aden & Anais which are 47” x 47”. This means you are probably not going to be able to swaddle your newborn once they get larger because you might not have enough blanket to fully swaddle or tightly swaddle your newborn. The other downside of the product is the high price for a set of two blankets. It’s a high quality product, but parents need to weigh the financial cost with the product that they need.

 

Overall, Under the Nile’s organic swaddle blankets are great for newborn because of it will provide comfort, warmth, and will help your newborn sleep for longer.
