Cotton Cellular Blankets

This is strange thing to review, but I'm clutching at straws at the moment but need to make more money for Christmas! I've recently swapped back to using blankets for my toddler, the reason for this is that she moved from a cot to a bed, and her quilt wasn't big enough to tuck under her mattress to stop her from falling out. So I dug out her cellular blankets from when she was a baby, and they were big enough to tuck in either side to sandwich her in bed and ensure she stayed put all night. At first I wasn't keen on using blankets again because I think a quilt seems much cosier, but after nearly a year of using these cellular blankets, I am totally ...  Read the complete review

Whilst expecting my first child, I was advised by many (older generation) people to buy cellular blankets. They said they had all used them and were great for various reasons. I decided to buy a couple of the small moses basket/pram ones at first and I'm so glad I did, they have been an invaluable buy that I would continue to recommend to others. I now have 3 small moses basket/pram cellular blankets, 1 on, 1 in the wash and 1 in the drawer. I originally used them as blankets for night times but my son has now outgrown them whilst lying flat, they are just used for day time naps and in his buggy. I love the design of them, ...  Read the complete review

When you are pregnant, you are bombarded with tonnes of items that you will surely need for your newborn and beyond. Most of the items on the market are a bid to make you spend money only to realize later that it was a complete waste because the item is pointless but cellular blankets are not. They come in various sizes and colours and are basically a square blanket that is made of purely cotton. They can be found in any baby care place including Babiesrus and Mothercare and will set you back around a tenner. The thing that makes these a cut above the rest is the fact that the holes let the air in so your baby doesn't end up getting too hot and ...  Read the complete review

I purchased loads of these for each of the areas where my first baby would sleep thinking they were essential and would be used for years. How wrong was I? I found that they were great in the early days for swaddling and for when having daytime naps but in the evening when not swaddled my baby would kick them off and wake up cold. We replaced them at night with Grobags so the blankets were made redundant. We still used them in the daytime for floor play, daytime sleeps and for a light blanket in warmer weather. With my second baby I purchased a couple of cot blankets rather than a couple for each sleeping area. This was ample as during the day I ...  Read the complete review

Mine are still going strong after 3 and a half years of use. I bought 3, a pram size, a cot size and a cot bed size. The larger one can be folded if it's colder and there is still plenty of room to tuck it in and the pram size was great to tuck aroud them whilst in the car seat but is now 'teddy's blanket'. They wash really well, mine are white and on a hot wash come up as good as new. You do need to use fabric conditioner if you don't tumble dry them or they can be a bit hard - I would recommend tumbling to make them extra soft and snuggly. Since I bought mine you can get a wider range of colours to match your nursery. I know there are ...  Read the complete review
