The best blanket for a baby can vary depending on several factors, such as the season, room temperature and the parents' personal preferences. In general, breathable, lightweight materials such as cotton are recommended. Choose a blanket that is not too heavy to prevent overheating.
Why a sheet and blanket?
A sheet and blanket are often used because together they provide a versatile sleeping environment. The sheet provides an extra layer between the baby and the blanket, and parents can adjust the blankets to suit the temperature in the room. This makes it easier to keep the baby warm without causing overheating.
How big should a baby blanket be?
A standard baby blanket is often approximately 75 cm by 100 cm. This size provides sufficient coverage for a crib or bed. It is important that the blanket is large enough to cover the baby comfortably, but not so large that it becomes a suffocation hazard.
Why a woolen blanket for the baby?
Wool blankets are often chosen because wool naturally regulates heat and is breathable. It can keep the baby warm without causing overheating. In addition, wool has the property of wicking moisture, which can help maintain a comfortable body temperature.
