Price: $19.99-$36.99
Sometimes, you just need a tried and true baby blanket that has multiple uses but also holds up well over time. Momcozy has thought of it all when it comes to soft and versatile blankets. Although swaddling is their primary use, they're a top choice for moms for several reasons. The oversized measurements make for easy wrapping, the bamboo-derived cotton blend mimics a soft and womb-like feel, and they’ve been made with durability in mind. Purchase options range from 2-packs to 4-packs with eight long-lasting designs to choose from.
Promising Review: “These are super soft and lightweight! Perfect for warmer climates! I received some as a gift and then bought more. They are the perfect size to swaddle baby and they wash up well. They double as a great burp cloth and nursing cover too.”
Custom Catch Personalized Baby Blanket

Price: $19.89
Baby blankets aren’t always about practical use (although this Custom Catch blanket makes for a great swaddling cloth or naptime blanket!) and some have more sentimental value than others. Personalized baby blankets make great gifts but they're also the perfect way to give your baby something comforting and nostalgic. Moms can custom-order this fleece blanket with their baby’s name, along with additional options such as their birthdate and cute designs. It’s the perfect oversized winter blanket that babies can continue to use as they get older.
Promising Review: “This blanket goes everywhere with our boy. We were gifted this at our baby shower, and ever since he’s been able to sleep with things, he’s slept with this. He loves it SO much. It’s nice & light so not too heavy or bulky for him to sleep with or drag around. I just ordered a second as a backup since I can never get our current one away from him to wash!!”

Promising Review: “This was my first purchase from Little Unicorn and already, not my last! I just couldn't resist this pattern. I decided on the baby blanket size as I thought it would be great to grab for the stroller or car when it's chilly. It's also the perfect size for my toddler to grab and carry around. I find myself even using it as a lap blanket while watching TV at night. It's a heavier weight than I expected, which I love, but not too hot or heavy. Can't wait to receive my next purchase!”

This cozy double-sided blanket features a soothing earth-toned green on one side, and a Herringbone print on the other for just a hint of elegance. Moms can pick from three sizes – Lovey (a mini size for diaper bags and cars) Baby (a full size suitable for toddler years), and Child (perfect for beds and use beyond toddler age) – as well as ten font choices. The best part? This blanket was custom-designed by an independent artist, making this blanket truly unique.

Price: $36, occasionally on sale for $18
Hanna Andersson calls this blanket “buttery soft” and that description could not be more accurate. Featuring an eco-friendly design made with TENCEL™ Lyocell (a semi-synthetic fabric), this blanket is hypoallergenic and eczema-friendly, standing out from many others that don’t offer quite the same softness or comfort. This breathable favorite is also moisture-wicking, making it a great early-age blanket and one that won’t cause discomfort during warmer months! Hanna Andersson also has the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100-certified seal of approval, bringing an extra level of reassurance to moms considering this blanket.
Promising Review: “Truly the softest blanket!! Easy to wrap around baby or use as a nursing cover.”
