Mothercare Fleece Cot Blanket

After I purchased all the bedding for my babies cot, I was very disappointed to be told that it is not advised for babies under 1 year old to have a quilt, as they can over-heat. The comment is understandable, but why do all the places like Mothercare, Toys R Us etc sell the bedding set which consists of cot bumper, and cot quilt? My daughter is nearly one and I have just started to use the cot quilt. In a few months time we will be getting a bed for her, so the quilt will not have been used for that long. I think that cot bedding sets are a very expensive, and if you can't use some of it for a while in the first place, they are a waste of money. ...  Read the complete review

When purchasing my son's bedding for his cot I noticed Mothercare now do a fleece cot blanket. What a good idea considering the advice is not to use a cot quilt on babies under one year old. Rather expensive at around £27.00 for a Winnie the Pooh motif one but it feels absolutely wonderful. We all know how warm and soft fleeces are so what better to use for a babies bedding. When my son is out of his cot I will still use this for if ever he has a nap in the day on the sofa. The blanket is a very generous size but also easy to wash and quick drying. Well done to whoever decided to make fleece blankets for cots. ...  Read the complete review

My four year old was given 4 Mothercare blankets when he was really little. Some toys come and go but not his blankets. Of the 4 (white, yellow and green) there is 1 is his favourite blanket and its checked. Everytime he's tired, he grabs them from his bed, chucks them down the stairs and sits and cuddles them & sucks his thumb. In the morning he appears at our bedroom door with 4 said blankets and 1 small white Teddy (called Fluffy) & then staggers in with his load. In the past he used to take his favourite blanket to his Childminders but we have got him out of that habit now. They don't get as dirty as the one owned by Linus ...  Read the complete review

When buying things for our baby before she was born we invested in a Mothercare Fleece Cot Blanket. It was one of the few things that we bought new and was quite expensive at about £25.00. But it was great. She is now 19 months old and the blanket is still in constant use. It is still very soft and fluffy and is mostly used for when she has a nap on the sofa or if we go out in the evening for in the car. It dries really quick when it is washed and I think that it was worth the money. A good really cosy blanket. ...  Read the complete review
