Standard baby blanket size

Everyone probably knows that to ensure healthy sleep, it is necessary to take into account certain factors; what a person sleeps on is also important. This applies to both the bed itself with the mattress and the blanket. This article will discuss the necessary parameters of the second of them, as well as its features, we know the standard of a blanket for a crib for newborns.

Why do you need to consider the size of a baby blanket?

When choosing a product for a child, you need to understand that it is a priori non-standard. This is explained by the fact that it is usually made taking into account a sleeping place, the dimensions of which sometimes reach two meters. In the situation described, the bed is much smaller, therefore there should be a blanket too. However, by choosing truly high-quality products, you will provide your baby with maximum comfort and yourself with peace of mind. But don’t forget about additional features:

• It should be taken into account that the child moves involuntarily in his sleep, which means that the blanket should have spare space for such situations.
• If you choose a product that is too large, then during use it will come off, knock off the bed and interfere with the baby’s sleep.
• When using it to cover a child in a stroller, you need to understand that the blanket cannot completely fit inside. Therefore, for these purposes it is best to buy a specially designed product.
• By the way, you can purchase several blankets at once. Since there are many options where its use is necessary, and these areas require completely different models that do not correlate with each other.

Standard sizes of blankets for children

Let's determine the size of a baby blanket for a standard crib. The parameters that will be named below are best used not only when purchasing, but also if you decide to make the product yourself. Each manufacturer may offer different sizes. Sometimes it even comes to the point that the number is not a multiple of 10. This happens rarely, but it is still worth knowing about the guideline in this case for a larger duvet cover size. The most commonly used options:

1. 90*90 (80*80 can be suggested). Most often, all parents use it when wrapping their newborn. This square shape is widely used for discharge from the hospital. With its small size, it is convenient to cover a child in cold weather when going out for a walk outside the house. But it is worth remembering that even such indicators will not provide comfort in too narrow spaces.
2. 60*90 centimeters. The most popular option, so to speak, is the most popular one. The purpose covers many areas. These also include basic use in a crib for babies who have not yet learned to roll over. And when this happens, you can resort to covering the legs of a one-year-old child. A distinctive feature is the small width measurement, which is why there is such a high demand for them from users.
3. 90*120. The size of the product is suitable for older children, up to about three years old.Very good in the spring or summer seasons, when for swaddling you can fold the blanket several times, and the newborn baby will be enveloped in warmth. Even for those who are 12 months old, it is possible to tuck the remaining fabric on all sides to suit themselves.
4. Most often they are produced with parameters 110*140 than 110*140, but this can also happen. These dimensions already make it possible to cover children of a really older age, up to preschool. But again, it all depends on the height of the user. They should not be neglected when using the smallest children in a stroller or cradle. Since the product simply may not fit.
5. 140*200 cm. It is best to use it on large sleeping surfaces. As an example, we can take the case when a fairly adult child sleeps in his parent’s bed. Then the blanket will both easily fit into the structure and completely cover one person. Even teenagers can fit under a blanket of this size in their own bed.

Departing from standards

It can always be that parents purchase a specially shaped sleeping place for their child. Of course, this is everyone’s business, but sometimes choosing a product to match non-standard bed models is much more difficult. This is explained by the fact that all sizes are selected according to the size of the bed. And then a viable option arises - making a blanket with your own hands. Here you can use your ingenuity, imagination and your personal preferences. It will also depend on the material from which the product will be made. For example, flannelette blankets have dimensions of 100*140 centimeters. They can often be found among mothers who do needlework, as well as on store shelves.
