Seems to me one thing people absolutely love to buy for babies is blankets. Whether bought or made you can bet a good amount of baby gifts will be blankets. So is the case with my last little guy who just came. A few co-workers went in on a gift basket for us and included of course... a blanket. As soon as I pulled out the super soft, super cute Cater’s baby blanket, I was in love.

Measuring approximately 30” X 40” the blanket I have is identical to the one pictured, being a white fleece with the words “Sweet Baby” embroidered in soft colors. Yes, you read that right, white... This is probably its number one downfall. There has been several times it has gone across something dusty, or slammed in the car door and the dirt shows like crazy against the white. I have since washed it several times in regular wash cycles with no difficulty and all of the dirt has come out. It also holds up well in the wash.

Now you may have felt fleece blankets in the past, but I highly doubt you have felt one this soft. I can’t even explain how cozy the Sweet Baby Carter’s Blanket is. Since the fabric is so soft, it makes a great place to lay baby down. We have cheap carpet in our play-room and hardwood floors in the rest of the house so the floor is not the most comfortable place to lay a baby down. Our Carter’s blanket helps have a soft place for him.

Not only is this Carter’s Blanket soft, it is also warm. See, this is not just a fleece blanket, it is double fleece, meaning it has two thick fleece pieces sewn together. I could count on wrapping this around my little guy while we were outside and not worry about him getting cold. I also use it during the night since it is warm and a little heavier. It doesn’t get kicked off as easily as other blankets I have used. Even now during the summer I use it as hubby keeps our room cool at night, saving me from having a cold baby wake up in the middle of the night.

Although I love fleece, it does not like to be in our house with two cats and a dog. Fortunately enough this particular blanket doesn’t pick up too much hair, though it does show the black dog hair more than others.

For fall and winter babies, I highly recommend finding a similar Carter’s Baby Blanket

I wish we had an outlet closer. Nearest one is 45 minutes away. That would be very dangerous to my budget.

I love anything made by Carter's. They have factory outlet stores near my mom, in Florida, and I always buy tons of stuff there for my nieces and nephews.
