Fleece Baby Blanket

Having a soft fleece baby blanket is an absolute must for any new baby. A very popular baby shower gift, most parents will want to have several fleece baby blankets on hand to keep their baby warm and cozy at all times, and they will want to have plenty of extras for laundry days. Fleece baby blankets come in many shapes and sizes. Some are made in receiving-blanket styles, which are thinner material and intended for swaddling a small baby or using as a cover when the nights are not too cold.

Other fleece baby blankets are made from thicker polar fleece and designed to be used when it is colder, or possibly as a stroller or carseat blanket when you take your baby outdoors in colder weather. Because fleece tends to be a thick and dense material, it will even help keep out the cold wind to a certain extent, and keep body heat sealed in on a wintery walk. It is a breathable synthetic material, however, and will not cause overheating. High quality fleece will not pill or thin when washed, though it can generate quite a bit of static electricity and is prone to lint and fuzz accumulation.
