Baiket blankets for newborns

Blankets for babies are often bought by young mothers who are expecting a baby. Despite the fact that manufacturers today offer the widest range of this bedding, these models do not lose popularity since Soviet times.

Duvet blankets are the very blankets from childhood that we used to make the beds in kindergarten or camp. Red, blue or green, as a rule, in the cell - then the choice of colors and pattern was small. Today, flannelette models are available in a variety of colors and with a variety of bright prints.

Bike is a soft fabric with a soft nap. In composition, it is 100% natural: it is made of cotton or wool. Clothes for children and adults, diapers, bed linen are made of bikes of different thickness. Also, this material is used in production and purchased for the needs of the army, various departments. It is a bike is quite inexpensive and this is its significant plus.

The blanket is ideal for a newborn baby:

• The natural origin of the fiber ensures hypoallergenicity.
• Soft material does not hurt the delicate skin of the baby.
• The bike conducts air well, which means it retains heat, but the baby does not sweat under it. All this helps to protect the child from colds.
• It is durable - several children in one family can “grow up” under one blanket.

Unlike super-light blankets with synthetic fillers, the bike does not require special care - it is erased in a typewriter, it dries easily, and after drying it is knocked off. It is advisable for a baby who is born in autumn or winter to immediately purchase two at once: one for the house, the other for the stroller. Bike will be affordable for any family. And when the child grows up, it is not at all a pity to transfer these things to those who need them.

Given the huge selection of modern products for children, the bike model is considered to be an option for summer or off-season.For winter, parents are offered to buy downy, woolen blankets or with a padding from a synthetic winterizer, holofiber. However, as practice shows, in an ordinary city apartment, where there is enough heating in the winter, and a flannelette blanket.

When choosing a blanket for your baby, be guided by the size and season you need. In fact, the bike is all-season, it is perfect for both winter and summer. In winter, you can stop the choice on a wool bike, in the summer - on a cotton one. It is not great if there is a minimal amount of synthetics in the composition - this will allow the blanket to serve for a long time, withstand numerous washing, drying and ironing. For example, 10% viscose and 90% cotton are the best option.

The sizes of children's flannets for different manufacturers are as follows:

• 90x100 cm;
• 90x112 cm;
• 100x140 cm;
• 100x118;
• 100x132;
• 100x140.

Obviously, small sizes will be suitable for the stroller - such blankets can be laid under the bottom of the baby, or it can be covered from above. For a bed it is worth picking up model more.

The product of economy class is distinguished by a simple pattern or monochromatic coloring. Slightly more expensive bikini blankets are jacquard. This means that in the manufacture of them in a special way the threads are intertwined so that on the blanket an intricate pattern is formed from two sides. This is not only beautiful (in fact, such a blanket does not have a seamy side), but also gives strength to the product - a jacquard blanket will last longer than usual. In addition, often such models do not have synthetics in their composition - they serve for a long time without it. Jacquard blanket will be worth a little more than usual.

For very young children, it is better to choose a model of calm colors. Or, if you bought a bright one, put a cotton duvet cover on it in a neutral tone. For older children, things with color prints and images of their favorite characters are perfect.

You can buy a blanket from a bike in specialized children's stores, as well as in retail outlets, stores that sell home textiles. The range is quite wide, there are imported samples.But mothers prefer to buy textile goods of domestic production. The following brands are popular.
