Your Baby Blankets Questions Answered
What kind of blanket is best for a newborn baby?
For newborns, a lightweight knitted wrap or soft muslin swaddling blanket works best. Both offer breathability to prevent overheating while providing the snug security that settles young babies. Look for premium materials gentle against delicate skin and easy to launder between uses. When used as directed, either option suits Australian nursery conditions well.
How do I choose the right baby blanket for an Australian climate?
Layering is key across Australia's varied regions. Choose a breathable muslin wrap or lighter cot blanket for warmer months in Queensland and New South Wales. For cooler southern states and winter nights, a knitted layer adds warmth without overheating risk. Keeping two or three weights on hand means you're covered across every season.
How big should a baby blanket be for a newborn?
A newborn wrap typically measures around 75x100cm for swaddling and settling. Pram blankets run slightly smaller for a secure fit, while cot sizes sit around 100x120cm. Always ensure any blanket used in a cot fits firmly and check current safe sleep recommendations for your baby's age and weight.
