It can be hard to know which option is the best. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, what are the benefits of opting for cellular baby blankets?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Temperature regulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The small holes in a cellular blanket mean your baby\u2019s warmth will be controlled. As, its breathable fabric allows body heat to escape, minimising the risk of overheating. This is essential for newborns because the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is increased due to overheating.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Breathable material<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Babies tend to wriggle and move about a lot, which can be dangerous as their blankets could cover their faces in the process, causing suffocation. The structure of a cellular baby blanket is yet again very beneficial in this case. Its tiny holes allow your baby to breathe without difficulty, even if the blanket moves. However, you must still ensure your baby is safe by placing them at the bottom of their bed, with the blanket wrapped securely around them. Then, if they do wriggle, they will move up the bed and away from the blanket.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Easy to wash<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cellular baby blankets are ideal for all those little accidents that your tot is bound to have, and believe us, there will be many! A dribbling baby is inevitable, so you can count yourself lucky that such blankets are simple to machine wash, and they dry quickly. Thankfully, your little one will never be away from their blanket for too long.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Easy to layer <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Due to its permeable material, cellular baby blankets are easy to layer whenever deemed necessary, depending on the temperature of your child\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>The general rule of thumb is:<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 24\u00b0C room temperature \u2013 1 sheet<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 21\u00b0C room temperature \u2013 1 sheet plus 1 layer of blanket<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 18\u00b0C room temperature \u2013 1 sheet plus 2 layers of blanket<\/p>\n<p>o\u00a0\u00a0 15\u00b0C room temperature \u2013 1 sheet plus 3 layers of blanket<\/p>\n<p>At Kiddies Kingdom we have a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/210-cellular-blankets-for-cots\">cellular blankets<\/a> for babies, as well as a range of other bedding items to make sure your little one has a comfortable and safe night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a cellular blanket?
