A Blankie a Day Keeps the Nightmares at Bay…

If you’re a new parent, you might just be under the impression that blankets for babies are interchangeable.

But we’re here to inform you that there are several styles of blankets available in the market, and each serves a wholly different purpose.

Be it a light cover dedicated to play time, a warmer cover for nap time, a cover for swaddling after a bath, or a cover for windy outings, you must consider all of the ways in which you’ll use them.

And since these blankies act like companions rather than mere products, you’ll want to go in for the best quality fabric.

Organic blankets for babies are the answer.

Introducing Greendigo Baby Blankies

The perfect combination of pretty, planet-loving, and purposeful, Greendigo baby blankets are a stress-free purchase.

Why are they a must-have?

Because they are 100% pure, certified organic cotton blankets with a soft and snuggly feel. These beautiful blankies for baby boys and baby girls are free of all harmful chemicals like pesticides, insecticides, or even toxic colours and dyes. And yet, they come in wondrous colours and patterns that will liven up your home and life!

Moms, keep an eye out for the globally recognised certificate from GOTS. It comes attached to the Greendigo baby blanket, and will give you all the assurance you need that the product is genuinely organic.

From the Seaspray Baby Blanket, with its delicate cable knit design, to the Seashell Baby Blanket, with its magical mauve shade, our blankies are also a fashion statement. So, add some buttery cheer to your nursery, crib, and pram!

Blankie best practices

If you’re looking to buy baby blankets online, do follow these 5 tips curated by our experts.

1. Always choose a skin-friendly material… after all, your baby’s skin can be as delicate as paper mâché!
2. Pick a light, breathable cover. You don’t want the little one feeling stuffy or suffocated.
3. Avoid blankies with a ton of fur, loose tassels, fringes, and/or ribbons. The wrigglers can easily get tangled in them.
4. Refrain from investing in synthetic or satin fabrics, as this could lead to unwanted allergies, rashes, and skin blemishes.
5. Ensure that you buy the right size and style (hood or no hood?), which will much depend upon your baby’s age, weight, and specific needs.
6. Go for colours and patterns that soothe rather than distract.

Is there anything more rewarding than seeing your baby all wrapped up in a blankie, warm and happy?

We think not!
