Cellular Blanket for Your Baby

When I first found out I was pregnant with my son, I can remember receiving a new mum pack from the midwife with a book on pregnancy related issues and advice, and inside this book was a list of what I needed to have ready for when my baby came into the world. Now not all of these lists are great and often tell you to get things that you really do not need, or are defiantly not essential, but like all new mums, especially when its your first you think that you actually do need all of this list, or else it's the end of the world!!!....I can remember keeping the list on the fridge and freaking out at 8 months because I had not brought muslin cloths...how silly I ...  Read the complete review

As most of you will know i am a big fan of the baby sleeping bags but this was definately my favorite type of blanket to use when we didnt use a sleeping bag.

A blanket is not essential, it just takes up space in your bag that you could use for something else. All hospitals have cellular blankets that do the job. In fact it is probably better to use theirs just in case yours gets lost. Now, I know it's going to sound hypocrytical of me, but I did take a blanket with me for my daughter. She was in special care for 3 weeks and I thought it would be nice to have something personal for her. But lets face it, she didn't really care as long as she was warm! When it came to going home, I had aquired so much stuff over the 3 weeks that I wished to God I had never taken the balnket in the first place. Very awkward it was! ...  Read the complete review
