The Tiny Life that you have just created needs some extra care during the first few months after being born. Unlike adults, newborn babies need to be covered with a warm blanket all through the year. Here are some reasons as to why you need to wrap your baby in a blanket all year round.

Why cover your baby with a blanket all year round?

Here are some reasons why your baby needs a blanket all year round:

1. Air conditioner

During the summer season, if you sleep with your air conditioner on, your baby may need a layer of extra care and warmth as they are not used to the cold temperature. Thus, you must cover your baby with a blanket when you make them sleep in an air-conditioned room.

2. Low Immunity

Babies are still building on their immune system when they are born and even the slightest change in temperature, a windy night, cool breeze, etc. can make them feel sick and they can catch a cold very quickly. Hence, you must keep them warm and snuggly and cover them with a blanket.

3. Warmth and cosiness

A blanket provides much-needed warmth to your baby. They will feel very calm and comfortable when you put them in a blanket at night, and their sleep will not be disturbed all through the night because they will feel comforted.

4. Wintry weather

Babies do not have a lot of fat on their bodies; hence they cannot regulate their body temperature to keep themselves warm. During the winter months, you must cover your little one in a warm blanket to protect them from the harsh weather elements so that they do not catch a cold or any other infection that affects their health in any way.

5. Snuggly feel

A blanket acts as a snuggly companion and gives your baby a sense of protection and provides them with the warmth that they would get from your body when they were in your womb. This feeling of security generates comfort and aids them to go into deep and stable sleep during the night.

Precautions to Follow While Using a Baby Blanket

Here are some points you must keep in mind while covering your baby in a blanket:

  • Make sure your baby sleeps on their back while using a blanket as it can reduce the risk of SIDs.
  • Use a wrapper cum blanket for your baby as it reduces their risk of suffocation.
  • The baby's blanket should only go up to the chest and not cover the neck or head.
  • Make sure your baby's head remains uncovered by the blanket while they sleep.
  • The blanket you use for your baby should not be heavy or too thick.

With that said, choose a lightweight blanket for your baby which provides warmth all through the year and not just during the winter months. You can get one from the Mylo App as Mylo Essentials offers an assortment of colours and design options. The Mylo Essentials Supersoft 3-in-1 Wrapper, Bathing Robe & Blanket For All Seasons, which is made from super soft flannel fabric, is skin-friendly and extremely comfortable. Most importantly this wrapper can also be used as a blanket and a bathing robe. What else could smart parents ask for?
