10 Best Baby Blankets UK 2024

While this soft blanket will keep your baby cosy in a pram, Moses basket or even the car, parents can also let their machines do the washing and drying, allowing some restful breaks or maybe even a moment to catch up on some sleep. That's why we think this blanket really is the best pick for everyone!

Although the animal print and subtle colour scheme looks absolutely adorable, this blanket may be a little over budget for some. But if you're eager to help contribute to a fairer world and you're looking for a good quality purchase, why not go for it?

Can't decide between a plushie and a comfort blanket? This product has both! The cute cream-coloured bunny firmly attached to the blanket maximises the soothing effect, especially at bedtime. 

If you wish, you can regularly wash this blanket in the washing machine to keep any germs away. Just as with other comforters, this product also has a soft-touch, but as it is made from synthetic polyester it might cause an allergic reaction to babies with sensitive skin. 

As a super-soft and very breathable blanket, you can start using this product from the very first day your baby is born. We're sure they'll love the soft touch and sleep peacefully once they're snuggled beneath it. The sheep print may even bring a few good dreams too!

Why not start teaching your baby about wildlife from a young age by introducing this cute giraffe comfort blanket? Made from plush fabric and of a good size, Mr. Giraffe feels extra squishy to hold and can grow as they do. Let's hope they become best friends!

We're just slightly disappointed that this blanket can only be hand washed and air-dried, meaning parents really need to plan their schedule ahead so they have the time and energy to give it a good clean. 

Sometimes you'll want to have a few spare blankets just by the cot so you can layer accordingly when your baby feels cold. Made from fleece and cotton, you can hang this blanket over the frame to create a cosy and warm environment for your baby while not in use. 

With different shades of grey as the main colour, this blanket can look less exciting than some, Plus, while affordable, it's made from a polyester-cotton blend that may not appeal to everyone. But it's always better to have a few blankets lying around the house than none!
