Everyone gets these blankets both at a baby shower or for gifts and even when they go to the hospital to have the baby. It's that blanket, The Blanket, The one with the blue and pink stripes, the one of they bring you your bundle of joy wrapped in. Its the blanket every baby who's ever been born in a hospital is wrapped in! If you're like me you brought home five of these blankets from hospital, I was encouraged to bring them home by the staff. What the heck do you do with all those blankets after your blanket is no longer big enough to wrap baby in? Here's what you do, put it on there butt! Yes you can Use any receiving blanket as a flat diaper. I an amazing organic cotton and hemp blanket from Babykicks for this review. I couldn't believe how fast my baby grew he's already too big to wrap in the soft made in the USA hempy goodness that is the BabyKicks brand signature this truly is an everything blanket, I this blanket to cover Baby Up in his carseat when even Orlando was Enveloped in the Polar Vortex of last week, (Remember Jackets and Carseats are a NO NO!) I used it as an ultra absorbent burp cloth, and after the weather turns back to sunny side up in the Sunshine State I will be using it as a flat diaper for overnight, I spilt a whole glass of water on that think and it sucked up the whole thing! I also Love that this blanket and other blankets are very very affordable alternative to buying high priced Flat diapers that are sometimes thin and wear quickly. Getting a couple One size covers ( around $15 each) and using Receiving blankets as flats really quick allows you to JUMP fully into cloth diapering while possibly building a stash of more expensive "fancy" diapers, although diapering with just receiving blankets makes for easy diapering! you can easily wash diapers using the method of a camp style washer or in a bucket or sink. I would imagine two BabyKicks Hemp Receiving Blankets and a pile you bring home from your baby shower and the hospital would make GREAT Travel diapers!
I was sent a babykicks blanket to facilitate a review but you can Buy one on their website BABYKICKS WEBSITE
