Choosing the Perfect Size
1. Measure before you buy. Cot, crib and pram dimensions differ across brands.
2. Look for a 20 cm tuck. Aim for ~10 cm overhang on each side so the blanket can be firmly tucked under the mattress.
3. Match fabric weight to season.
- Muslin and knits ➜ breathable for Aussie summers.
- Quilted and tight knits ➜ cosy for Canberra or Tasmanian winters.
Safety Essentials
- Under 12 months, place baby at the foot of the cot and tuck blankets below shoulder level (per Red Nose safe-sleep advice).
- Use quilts or duvets only once your child can reliably roll and sit unaided (usually 18-24 months).
- Hooded or tasselled blankets are cuddle-time only—keep them out of the cot.
Caring for Your Blankets
- Cold-wash on gentle with mild detergent.
- Reshape and line-dry flat to protect knits and gauze.
- Store by size so late-night bedding changes are hassle-free.
- Quality fibres last—pass them on or save for baby #2.
FAQ
Q: Will the 120 × 120 cm knitted blanket suit a newborn?
A: Fold it in half in the pram or crib now; unfold for cot use later—one blanket, two stages.
Q: Are the crib and single duvet covers TOG-rated?
A: Duvet covers themselves aren’t TOG-rated; combine them with a 2.5 TOG quilt insert for winter or a 1 TOG insert for summer.
