Blankets and swaddles

Baby blankets are generally made from natural fibres; cashmere, wool, cotton, or bamboo.  They can be used in the stroller, in bed, at home and while travelling.  A good blanket will be useful for many years.

Generally your child will start using a blanket to sleep with at around 18 months, until then a sleeping bag is advised as baby can’t cover himself should he move around in bed. Sleeping bags are made for every season, and from birth until around 3 years old.

For newborns, cotton swaddles can be used to wrap the baby in the first weeks.  These swaddles will remain very useful longterm.  Candide brand also make a Swaddle bag, for 0-3 months, which is practical for parents and comfortable for baby.
