Every newborn baby girl needs lots of blankets for her nursery, and there is no color that suits girls more than pink. Your new little girl will need receiving, swaddling and cover up blankets; these are used for different occasions and are made from a variety of fabrics. Keep in mind that you never can have too many pink baby blankets in your princess's nursery.
Choosing the right blankets depends on how you plan to use them. Receiving blankets are often used like burp cloths or for nursing while swaddling blankets are meant to wrap the baby and give it the feel of being back inside the womb. Cotton, or a cotton blend, is a fabulous fabric for either of these as it is extremely breathable.
Crib Blankets
If you are looking at cover up blankets then you are probably hoping to find some that match the theme or colors of the baby's nursery. One choice is to find a crib set but it is not a necessity. Though crib bedding does come in almost any design and pattern you could hope to find, many people choose to mix and match their pieces. This is simpler when purchasing individual pieces instead of sets.
Plush and fleece blankets are very popular and highly recommended. These blankets are wonderful options because they won't scratch your baby's sensitive skin while keeping her warm. In addition, most blankets meant for babies are now hypoallergenic so no worry about rashes or bad reactions.
It's time to pick the design on your pink blanket and there are so many to choose from. A great place to start is the nursery theme. Though you may not choose for every blanket to follow the same theme it is always nice to have at least one that does. You can find any of these Baby blankets in virtually any pattern desired from cartoon characters to floral prints. Some of the more popular options may be Winnie the Pooh, Care Bears and of course flowers.
After you choose the blankets for your new daughter remember to take special care when washing. Though the blankets are make to prevent break outs and irritation, laundry soaps can easily cause these problems. Special soaps are made just for washing baby clothes and any other fabrics that may come in contact with baby's skin. One of the pink blankets that you choose could possibly become more than just something to keep your baby warm. Often times children grow attached to them and it could just make your baby feel more secure as she grows up.
