Organic Receiving Blanket - An Important Part of a Baby’s Bedding Layette
Swaddling is a practice that has been passed on through the centuries. Wrapping infants snugly in soft and cuddly cloths of different types or blankets has been a ritual for years. Some archaeological excavations provide evidence that swaddling was practiced even during the Greek and Roman civilizations. It has been a standard practice for midwives to swaddle the baby as soon as he is delivered to provide warmth and security similar to that of a womb. There was a time when swaddling bands were used to restrict baby movement for the purpose.
Modified swaddling is still in vogue for lulling irritable babies. Oriental swaddling clothes were rectangular clothes over which the infant was placed diagonally. Three corners were folded and two or more bands were used to secure the baby. Swaddling clothes have undergone a lot of changes over time. The lengthy cumbersome swaddling cloths have now been replaced by a receiving blanket or flannel sheets.
Receiving blankets are usually made from fleece, a soft bulky fabric with a deep pile. The base material may be made from synthetic cotton or wool fiber. The thickly woven fabric undergoes a process called raising that brings out the strands of the yarn used in weaving the fabric. The strands give the soft feel associated with a fleece blanket or flannel.
An organic receiving blanket is essential for the protection of your baby. This is necessary because the baby has suddenly come out in a new world and may not be fully equipped to combat the harmful effects of the environment. A receiving blanket can help in keeping the baby away from the hazards of allergens and dirt. It also provides a snug environment for the baby that is close to the feel of the womb. You will naturally want to buy a receiving blanket that provides the maximum safety for your child. A website for crib comforters and quilts will help you in making up your mind and give you a chance to firm up your preferences before you actually go out and buy one from a store. Of course, you can also order one on the internet.
Receiving blankets are cut and given a shape that is easy to handle so that the baby can be swaddled easily without having to manage long pieces of cloth. Different styles include a rectangular or a triangular shape. The size that you by should buy obviously depends upon the size of the baby. Make sure that you buy different sizes for use immediately after delivery and later.
While you are shopping for the baby’s layette, remember that that you will need a lot of other items, such as a crib mattress, sheets, a baby blanket, and a comforter. While you are at it, try to consider all the options available to you. For example, a down crib comforter set might prove to a better deal than buying sheets and a blanket separately.
