Temperature Control: Keeping Your Baby Cozy Without the Worry
Share
As a new parent, one of the most common "middle-of-the-night" thoughts is: “Is my baby too hot? Are they too cold?” Because newborns can’t regulate their body temperature like we do, choosing the right blanket is about more than just matching the nursery decor—it’s about creating the perfect "micro-climate" for a restful sleep. Here is how to choose the right fabric for the right moment.
For the Warm Afternoons: The Magic of Muslin
When the sun is streaming through the nursery window or you’re out for a stroll on a balmy Florida or California afternoon, Muslin is your best friend.
- Why it works: Its open-weave design allows air to flow freely. It prevents that "sweaty" feeling and keeps your baby cool while still providing that secure, tucked-in sensation they love.
For the Chilly Nights: The Hug of Plush & Fur
When the AC is humming or the winter wind is rattling the windows in New York or Chicago, it’s time to bring out the Plush & Cozy Fur collection.
- Why it works: These blankets are designed to trap a gentle layer of warmth close to the baby's body. The soft fibers act as an insulator, ensuring they stay snug without feeling heavy or restrictive.
The "Goldilocks" Balance: Silk & Knits
If the temperature is "just right" but you want that extra layer of comfort, Silk and Artisan Knits are the perfect middle ground.
- Silk is naturally temperature-regulating—it stays cool when it’s warm and holds heat when it’s cool.
- Knits have natural "breathing holes" in the pattern, making them the most versatile choice for year-round use.
Mom-to-Mom Tip: Always do the "Chest Test." Feel your baby’s chest or the back of their neck. If they are warm and dry, they are perfectly cozy. If they are slightly damp, it’s time to swap that heavy fur for a light Muslin wrap!
