Our Cot Blanket Range

At Baby Travel, we understand that every baby is unique, and so are their sleeping needs. That’s why we offer a wide variety of cot blankets, each with its own style, fabric, and benefits:

1. Cellular Cot Blankets

These lightweight blankets feature a special open weave that promotes airflow while providing gentle warmth. A top choice for newborns, cellular blankets are ideal for layering and year-round use.

2. Fleece Cot Blankets

Thicker and super soft, fleece blankets offer maximum cosiness. Perfect for winter months or nap time in colder nurseries, they’re made to keep your baby warm without irritation.

3. Cotton Knit Cot Blankets

Crafted from soft, breathable cotton, these knit blankets offer just the right amount of stretch and warmth. They’re naturally breathable and ideal for sensitive skin.

For parents who want natural, eco-conscious options, our organic cotton blankets are free from harmful chemicals and dyes, making them perfect for babies with allergies or delicate skin.

5. Quilted & Double-Layered Cot Blankets

Offering a bit more weight, these blankets are ideal for toddlers or cooler bedrooms. They’re also great for layering over cot sheets or under a duvet as your baby grows.

When & How to Use Cot Blankets Safely

Safety is key when it comes to baby bedding. Always follow safe sleep guidelines when using cot blankets:

• For newborns, use lightweight, breathable blankets such as cellular cotton.

• Tuck blankets in securely below the shoulders to avoid covering the face.

• Avoid overly thick or layered blankets for very young babies.

• Remove blankets once your baby starts rolling, crawling, or climbing.

• Consider layering with a sleeping bag or cot quilt during colder nights.

Always supervise your baby’s sleep and adjust bedding based on room temperature and your baby’s age.
