equivalent to all other packages of similar size rec. blankets

I find that MOST "receiving blankets" (those packages at of 3 or 4 at any store) aren't good if you're wanting to keep a baby wrapped or covered..find something larger (make your own with flannel from the fabric store). They're all too small. HOWEVER, as a mom of 4, born in 5 years, here are some things these smaller receiving blankets are good for!
<br />Ever had a diaper blow out while they're sitting in their car seat? You're far from home and have a nasty car seat-clean it off the best you can and then lay the blanket over the offending area till you get home. Keeps baby clean! Also useful when burp cloths aren't available! Good to lay baby on when changing their dipe in a public restroom...or anywhere. Cover for nursing (when they're small and less wiggly). Baby's sick and you don't have a clean mattress pad (because you've changed sheets several times already)...lay a few of these on the mattress, cover with sheet and you have a temporary matt. pad. Always nice to keep a few on hand, in the car or diaper bag...very versatile for those emergencies.

There are better receiving blankets on the market...

I received these blankets for my baby shower and we hardly used them. My daughter was on the larger side and these blankets were too small to swaddle her in. We used these mainly to lay her down on for changing. I have since packed them away. I highly recommend any of the Koala Baby blankets. They have awesome receiving blankets that were larger and a lot easier to use for swaddling. You won't be dissapointed with Koala!
Not good for large babies

The main purpose for the receiving blanket is to swaddle infants to soothe and comfort them when it is time to sleep. We had a larger baby (9lb 6oz) but by no means abnormally large. These receiving blankets measure about 28"x28" after washing and are too small to keep a larger baby swaddled

The receiving blankets are very soft to the touch and of good quality material. The colors and design are just as described at website. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Nice light blanket for everything but swaddling
2005-09-11
These blankets are nice because they are small and light. I mainly use them as a cover-up when nursing or pumping in semi-public places (i.e. the car). It is so hot here in the summer, so this is a nice lightweight blanket, versus some of the other heavier flannel blankets. It is too small for swaddling, but I didn't buy them with that intention. If you are looking for a swaddling blanket or something warm, you might want to pass on these. However, I am surprised how often I have used them.
