The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is a sweet baby blanket with an added bonus - swaddling instructions sewn to its edge. Much larger (42" x 42") than the average receiving blanket and square in shape, the Ultimate Receiving Blanket is made in America using premium preshrunk super-soft domestic certified cotton flannel. A cute pictorial 123 Swaddle Tip Tag helps caregivers learn how to make a secure swaddle. This blanket is a confidence builder for new and experienced parents.

There are many benefits associated with swaddling - babies sleep better, reduces colic and fussiness, decreases risk of SIDS and is helpful when breast feeding. Securely swaddling a baby helps them feel safe and relaxed. Recent studies prove that infants sleep with fewer awakenings when swaddled, and swaddling may help sleeping infants remain on their backs.

An everyday essential, this blanket has many uses beyond swaddling; can be used as a sunshield, privacy throw when breast feeding, play mat, and fits easily in a diaper bag. We feel that you'll love this product, as we do.
