What are the benefits of swaddle blankets compared to a “baby blanket”?
Swaddle blankets are made of lightweight fabric like cotton muslin which is great for helping to regulate an infant’s body temperature in contrast to thicker baby blankets on the market. Since cotton muslin uses a smaller weave pattern, it also allows for a better stretch of the fabric to get that extra secure swaddle. Swaddle blankets are also often oversized – meaning that there is a lot of extra fabric to allow you to properly wrap up your baby.
