11 Best Baby Blankets

One of my weaknesses is a good baby blanket. But blankets are more than cute—babies need several different blankets throughout the day. After four-plus years, three babies, and lots and lots of blankets, I have a list of the best baby blankets out there, sure to serve every purpose you can throw at them. Check them out in the slideshow.

11 Best Baby Blankets

Best Double-Duty Blanket

The swaddle scarf/blanket from Coveted Things is really big, so it works great as a swaddle, a scarf, a nursing cover, a stroller or car seat cover, or a photo-shoot backdrop. Plus, they all have sweet or funny sayings, giving them lots of personality.
Best Classic Swaddle

Aden + Anais is the go-to swaddle blanket brand for good reason. The cotton muslin makes them the perfect swaddles, but the prints are super cute, too. Every parent should have a set of these in their blanket arsenal.
Best Basic Blanket

These bright blankets from June and January are one of my favorite everyday blankets because they are super soft, lightweight, breathable, and cute. Perfect for swaddling and to have in your diaper bag.
Best Milestone Blanket

I love these milestone blankets from Batz Kids. They are a fun way to track your baby's monthly milestones and growth with photos.
Sweetest Snuggle Blanket

This snuggle blanket from Bebe au Lait is so cozy. Like its swaddle counterparts, it is also made of muslin but has four layers, making it super snuggly and soft. And I love the "Love You to the Moon" print.
Best Blanky (The One Your Kid Will Never Want to Part With)

Every baby should have a super soft and cuddly blanket, and my favorites come from Saranoni. You can get a receiving blanket size, a smaller lovey, or a full size for mom-and-baby snuggling. These are a must-feel!
Best Keep-Warm Blanket

My favorite sweater blanket is by Wren and Rumor. The colors, patterns, prints, and weight make the perfect blanket for some tummy time or as a stroller blanket during chilly walks.
Best Lovey

Angel Dear makes the softest and sweetest little lovey blankets for baby. They are great for cuddling, sucking, and comforting.
Best Baby Quilt

I love a good baby quilt. It doubles as a playmat, can match your nursery, and make a great keepsake for your child. The Land of Nod has so many great, affordable options, and I love how they work with independent designers.
Best Knit Blanket

Like the blanket you wish your aunt would knit for you, but done in a more modern way, the blankets from Koko's Nest are beautiful, soft, and don't scream "baby."
Best Blanket Set

Fans of the well-loved Solly Baby Wraps (me included) were thrilled when they launched their swaddle sets. Made of the same soft and slightly stretchy material, these blankets come in beautiful colors, are great for a good tight swaddle thanks to their large size and stretch, and come in a set of two. Fun fact: That's my baby in the photo. 🙂
