I love these receiving blankets! I received my first one as a gift, and ended up buying 4 more. My son had to be swaddled the first 3 months of his life (Read The Happiest Baby on the Block)-and the larger size of these blankets are perfect for your growing baby. They washed up well, and still look great after 8 months of use. The designs are fun, and the matching burp cloths are really nice-although a bit pricey! Now these are one of my favorite gifts to give at a baby shower.
