Nursery Inventory: The Magic Number for Receiving Blankets

You see the stack, but #how many receiving blankets do I need to survive those first few months? The most critical decision for your registry!

 

The Sweet Spot: Aim for 8 to 12 receiving blankets!

 

Why So Many? (The Mess Factor)

These are utility blankets (burp rags, changing pad liners), not just cuddles! Your final number depends on:

 

Your Laundry Frequency.

 

Your Baby's "Spit-Up Factor."

 

Your Climate (slower drying = need more).

 

FAQ: Do I need both receiving blankets and swaddles?

YES! They are not interchangeable. Receiving blankets are small and for utility. Swaddles are large (40"+) and mandatory for safe sleep containment.
