The best blanket for a baby can vary depending on several factors, such as the season, room temperature and parents' personal preferences. Generally, breathable, lightweight materials such as cotton are recommended. Choose a blanket that is not too heavy to avoid overheating.

Why a sheet and blanket?"

A sheet and blanket are often used because together they provide a versatile sleep environment. The sheet provides an extra layer between the baby and the blanket, and parents can adjust the blanket according to the temperature in the room. This makes it easier to keep baby warm without overheating.

How big should a baby blanket be?

A standard baby blanket is often about 75 cm by 100 cm. This size provides enough coverage for a cradle or cot. It is important that the blanket is large enough to cover the baby comfortably, but not so large that it poses a choking hazard.

Why a woollen blanket for the baby?

Wool blankets are often chosen because wool naturally regulates heat and is breathable. It can keep baby warm without causing overheating. Moreover, wool has the ability to wick away moisture, which can help maintain a comfortable body temperature.
