This isn't a cheap blanket, but it is the softest, most snugly blanket you're going to find. It's a good weight fabric, so it will keep the baby warm with this blanket tucked in around your bundle of joy. My son also plays with it in the crib, and we'll lay it over him when putting him down for the night (he's over a year old, so don't worry for all the nothing in the crib crowd out there). Our nanny lost the first one on a stroll through the park, so we bought it again because it's by far the best blanket. This blanket is well made and I suspect it will last for many years, unlike some other ones we received that have already made their way to the trash or donation.
