A designer cuddly or crawling blanket for babies: the perfect gift idea
A wonderfully soft blanket is a basic item for every baby. On the way home from the hospital, the newborn is wrapped in a baby blanket so that it can feel warm and safe on its journey. Even in the first few months of life, a blanket not only provides the baby with warmth, but also a feeling of security. Surrounded by the blanket, the baby lies in its cradle, shielded from the world, safe and well protected. That is why choosing a baby blanket is particularly important and you should always choose a model that meets the highest standards.
The best materials for the blanket
When you buy a baby blanket, it is worth choosing completely natural materials. Baby skin is very sensitive, so a blanket should be made of soft material that is also skin-friendly and does not trigger allergic reactions. Cashmere is the perfect material for a blanket. There is hardly a softer, fluffier material in which you can wrap your little treasure. At the same time, cashmere is also reliable. The Litolff brand offers a particularly high-quality blanket. The handmade models are available in different colors and feature adorable motifs. Designed in a handy size, they are suitable for the cradle and the child's bed.
When a baby is born in the family or among friends, it is always nice to give a gift to mark the happy occasion. A baby blanket is an excellent idea. Even if the young mother already has a baby blanket, another model is always a good idea, as the blankets can be used for many months. If, for example, you are a godparent and want to give a particularly elaborate gift, the Litolff blanket set is a very special surprise for mother and child. In addition to the blanket for babies, a burp cloth, a pacifier with a ring and a fine hair brush are included. The gift set is available in different colors, so you can choose the right one for boys or girls.
A baby blanket is not only suitable for sleeping, but also accompanies the baby while playing. On the floor or in the playpen, a blanket offers soft comfort for babies and makes exploring the world around them even more fun. If you choose a baby blanket as a play blanket, you should choose an easy-care material. A children's blanket made of cotton can usually be easily washed at 30 degrees, so that you always have a fresh play blanket for your little one. A particularly practical model is made by Carrement Beau offered.
Cozy and chic: baby blankets from well-known designers
Babies love to explore the world around them. The little rustling ears of the toy rabbit or the funny noise the ball makes when you squeeze it bring a squealing smile to babies' lips. Small babies can explore the world particularly well and safely on their baby play mat or baby play mat. They lie nice and soft, safe and comfortable. A large play mat in particular gives them plenty of space to explore the world around them.
Crawling blankets are perfect for laying the baby down for a short time, but they are also great for playing or for the first attempts at rolling and turning. A baby crawling blanket should therefore be bought very early, ideally before the baby is born as part of the initial equipment. Don't let the name put you off: if your baby is actually already crawling, it is usually too late for a crawling blanket, as the baby will no longer lie on the blanket anyway. When buying, you should make sure that the blanket is padded as softly as possible. The blanket usually has a soft polyester filling. The outer cover should also be nice and soft. This is usually made of cotton. This makes your baby particularly comfortable. It is perfect if the blanket has a removable cover so that it can be washed quickly. Often the entire blanket can also be washed. It is particularly good if different materials or structures are combined on the blanket, as this stimulates the baby's sense of touch. Most play mats are square and measure between 75x75 cm and 100x100 cm. A large baby play mat is an advantage because it can be used for longer and the baby has more space to play. If there is no changing table nearby, a good play mat is also perfect as a changing mat. A play mat for babies is very similar to play mats, but is more geared towards playing. It is therefore more suitable for slightly older babies, from around three months. Play mats for babies are usually in different colors or have pictures on them. Your baby can explore his toys and test his sense of touch on it. This is why a baby play mat is often decorated with small appliqués. An activity blanket is also softly padded so that your baby can lie comfortably on it. In addition, there are usually lots of toys integrated or attached to it that feel different and rustle or crackle. However, there is a risk that the baby will be overwhelmed by the excess supply. Therefore, it may be better to buy a good crawling blanket and then complement it with age-appropriate toys such as a rattle or a squeaking book, rather than buying a complete activity blanket.
In contrast to play blankets, cuddly blankets are not primarily intended for your baby to play on. As the name suggests, they are more suitable for cuddling and covering. Depending on the condition of the floor, the baby can also be laid down or swaddled on a cuddly blanket for a short time. Cuddly blankets usually have no filling and consist of only one or more layers of soft cotton muslin. They are usually made of skin-friendly cotton. Cuddly blankets made of cashmere are particularly elegant and are incredibly soft and cuddly. So-called "swaddle" blankets are also very practical for newborns. These are oversized burp cloths made of high-quality cotton muslin. These can therefore also be used as swaddling cloths. When swaddling, babies are wrapped very tightly in breathable cloths. This prevents the Moro reflex, which causes uncontrolled movements in babies and sometimes wakes them from sleep. This method is therefore very popular, especially for very restless sleepers, premature babies or crying babies. They feel more secure and safe thanks to the tight fabric. But even if you don’t want to swaddle your baby, the pretty blankets, for example from Gucci , an unbeatable advantage: Due to the thin material, they are very space-saving and therefore perfect as a play mat for on the go, on which you can lay your little treasure down or change his or her diaper in between.

Which designer bathrobe is the right one for your baby?
Even the smallest babies love bathing in pleasantly warm water and making their first splashing movements. They laugh and giggle while mom or dad hold them securely. But as soon as babies are out of the water, they get cold very easily and need to be wrapped up nice and warm. The little head in particular needs to be well protected. Therefore, a cozy baby bathrobe should always be ready before bathing so that the baby can be dried quickly and wrapped up warmly.
Babies and toddlers love being wrapped up nice and warm after bathing, showering or swimming. Depending on the age and size of the child, you will find different clothes and towels for this: bathrobes, bath ponchos, hooded towels or classic towels. When buying, you should make sure that they are made of high-quality terry cloth that does not have an excessive number of knots or threads. However, due to their different functions, different types of terry cloth are recommended depending on the product. The term "terry cloth" comes from the French word "frotter", which means "to rub". It describes a fabric that is particularly absorbent and soft. This effect is created by the characteristic loops in the fabric. These increase the volume and thus also the absorbency of the material. Depending on the type of terry cloth, the material is particularly soft or rather rough with a higher massage effect. Towels and bathrobes made of so-called full terry cloth are particularly cosy. With velour terry cloth, the loops are cut open, which makes the surface very soft and comfortable. The so-called twisted terry cloth, on the other hand, feels firmer and rougher. The knitted terry cloth combines the various properties and is both soft and a little firm for a light massage effect. A baby bathrobe is usually made of terry cloth, in some cases also of velour terry cloth, as these two qualities are the most pleasant for the baby's soft skin. It is also important that the baby bathrobe is made of 100 percent cotton. The natural material is breathable and skin-friendly. High-quality brands also often rely on quality seals such as the Oekotex certificate. The baby bathrobe from Steiff, for example, also has this award. The classic baby bathrobe has long sleeves, a large hood and a belt to tie. Most models also have one or two large pockets on the front, for example for a favorite car or doll. Although there are also models without a hood, these are less recommended for children, as the head in particular needs to be kept nice and warm after bathing. A bathrobe is particularly recommended for slightly larger toddlers or for babies who can already sit. The belt is difficult to fasten when lying down, and it is also a little uncomfortable for very small babies as it can cause pressure points. However, if they are a little more active, a bathrobe is the perfect choice for the little ones, especially after swimming. You should make sure that it is made of soft and slightly thicker, grippy terry cloth. A slightly plush material is also appropriate here.
Bath ponchos and hooded towels for babies
Bath ponchos are particularly suitable for babies from around 3-4 months. They have a large hood and some have snap fasteners on the sides to create sleeves. A bath poncho for a baby can be put on quickly and is perfect for snuggling up. It is particularly practical for smaller children because it does not have to be tied like a bathrobe. A bath poncho is also ideal for the beach. However, the terry cloth material for a bath poncho for a baby should not be quite as thick as a bathrobe. Hooded towels are a great alternative to a bathrobe or poncho, especially after bathing at home. They are the first choice for newborns and babies. You should make sure that they are made of cuddly, soft terry cloth so that your baby can snuggle up nicely after bathing. The hooded bath towels have a large hood and are large enough to wrap the baby completely and keep them nice and warm. Some models also have ribbons or a belt to tie. The towel should also be made of high-quality but thin terry cloth that can absorb moisture well and dry your baby nicely. Classic towels are not suitable for babies because they do not have a hood, as the head is not kept warm enough. Small babies lose most of their body heat through their heads and therefore cool down quickly if it is not covered. If you then add wet hair after bathing and perhaps a draft at the lake, the risk of catching a cold increases. However, towels should still be in every bathing bag, as they are perfect for putting the baby down for a short time, for example on the beach or in the bathing establishment, and are also very good as a changing mat.
