Best Baby Blanket

I think I may be a bit late catching onto this trend.
I don't keep up with a lot of trends.
Unless they're in Sunset magazine, Bon Appetite or on the blogs I read.
But maybe you don't know about this trend either. 
So I'll tell you.
I found the perfect baby blanket.


Actually, I had nothing to do with finding it.
It was a gift from my friend Lindsey. (creator of the amazing nursery)
I love it madly.
I have 2 friends about to have babies and you can guess what I'm giving them.


These blankets are big.  
So they are perfect for swaddling.
But they are also light weight: soft, breathable muslin.
That means when you swaddle baby, you won't overheat him.
Which is especially nice in summer.


I have Davy wrapped up in that blanket all the time.
Isn't it cute?
Isn't he cute?




This particular blanket is from here.
But I was just in a baby shop yesterday and she had oodles of them.
Which led me to believe I was behind the times in this baby blanket trend.
No matter.
If you need a perfect little baby gift, now you know what to get.
I give it my seal of approval.
The best baby blanket.


Love from,
Greta


PS.  They are often called muslin swaddling blankets and I found more here and here.
But I bet if you went to any baby store you'd find some.  Or, if you're the sewing type, you can whip some up yourself.

we discovered the muslin blankets with our second & loved them! they're the perfect size for swaddling & since he was born in late april, they were just the right weight for a spring baby.
