Even though I am 30 I have this weird obsession with all things extremely soft, and that includes blankets and stuffed animals (yes, this 30 year old likes stuffed animals). When we started getting ready for our new addition I was on the hunt for the softest blanket. As a matter of fact, I still have the Pooh Blanket that was in my crib when I was born, so I want to give our little one some great blanket options to choose from to make his decision for his favorite. One blanket I was excited to try was My Blankee , which is a luxury brand of receiving blanket. I certainly wasn’t disappointed.
With tons of blankets to choose from I had a heck of a time deciding which one I wanted for our little man. They have tons of patterns and styles, but in the end I chose the Tigger Velour Blanket ($40) in baby blue. This blanket is 100% Microfiber Polyester, Hypoallergenic, machine washable (because what mom has time to dry clean blankets??), and made in the USA! The blanket is so soft, and I love the silky edges. It also will be nice and warm for the winter months we having coming. Definitely something to think about when having a winter baby.
Celebrities also love My Blankee! I mean if it’s good enough for Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani, then I think our little guy will like it just fine.
I am doing my best not to steal this blanket for myself. It’s kind of a joke in our house that I want all of his soft stuffed animals and blankets. The instructions DO say for the mother to sleep with the blanket to give it her scent…I think that’s a perfect idea! I will be sure to give that a try!
I was provided with a My Blankee for the purposes of this review. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Remember Linus and his blankie? We love him. We love that he needed a security blanket the way Middle needs his thumb. While none of the kids has attached to a blankie, they do love to pull them up and cuddle.
Around this house, swaddling is all the rage (she’s sleeping through the night and I think a lot of that has to do with swaddling.) But not all babies like to be swaddled. Some, in fact, kick out of it right away needing access to hands, feet and a little freedom. For parents of unswaddled babies, there’s now a product to “bag” your babies and keep them warm without wrapping them tightly.
