Baby Wrap and Blanket Options to Stock Your Nursery

When you're preparing your nursery for your new arrival, you'll want to ensure you have plenty of soft linens on hand. The baby wrap collection at Pottery Barn Kids includes a wide selection of cosy, versatile wraps and blankets that will keep your little boy or girl comfortable at home and on the go. Browse to find bestselling baby blankets to use for your family and give as thoughtful baby shower gifts to new parents.

Swaddles and Wearable Blankets

Until your baby starts to roll over on their own, which typically happens after about two to six months, they should be swaddled at nighttime. The swaddles at Pottery Barn Kids are specially designed to wrap around your newborn, keeping them cosy and preventing the Moro reflex (colloquially known as the startle reflex) from affecting their sleep quality. They're sewn of light, breathable materials, like organic cotton muslin, and typically come packaged in sets of two or three with different prints. They measure 119 inches square and have a decent amount of stretch, making it easy to wrap the fabric snugly around your newborn. A three-piece baby wrap set makes a great gift for parents-to-be.

If your baby arrives during the colder months, wearable blankets will be essential. These cosy layers are sewn of materials like organic cotton muslin and cover your baby's front and back. They feature an inverted zipper front closure, making them easy to get on and off and allowing for quick and convenient nappy changes. Slip a wearable blanket over your child's clothing when you're out and about to keep them comfortably warm.

Receiving Blanket vs. Swaddles

While the terms "receiving blanket" and "swaddle" are often used interchangeably, the two items are slightly different. Swaddle blankets are typically larger, have more stretch and sometimes offer specially designed sides to make swaddling a simpler process. Receiving-style blankets can also be used for swaddling, but since they're usually on the smaller side, newborns will outgrow them more quickly. They can, however, be used to take adorable pictures welcoming your baby into the world and work well as versatile burp cloths or cosy layers for everyday cuddling.

Keepsake Blankets

Many parents choose to save baby blankets as special keepsake items from childhood. Choose from a wide variety of cosy and pretty linens that your child can enjoy while they're young and when they get older. They also make popular gifts for baby showers or first birthdays.

  • Security blankets will bring great comfort to children as they learn and grow. They typically include knotted corners or other textured details that allow them to explore their senses.
  • Plush toy and blanket sets feature an adorable stuffed animal and a matching polyester blanket, giving kids extra items to cuddle at nap time or bedtime.
  • Milestone blankets allow you to celebrate each month of your child's first year. Photograph them with the blanket to capture cherished memories you can later display in photo frames.
  • Heirloom blankets feature patches with different designs, colours and textures, giving them the look of an heirloom quilt.
  • Some blankets are available to personalise when you purchase in-stores at Pottery Barn Kids, allowing you to make your gift extra special by adding the child's name or monogram.
