Contrary to the popular perception, there is a vast difference between a comforter, a bedspread and a blanket. A comforter is a multipurpose item of bedding that serves as a bed sheet and a blanket. When it is not in use, it can be used to cover the crib mattress and when it is sleep time it serves as a blanket that keeps the baby warm. A light weighted down crib comforter will also serve the purpose of swaddling an infant so that he does not disturb his own sleep by moving too much.
A baby blanket is woven as a fabric using cotton, woolen or synthetic yarn, as the case may be. The type of yarn used is super soft and woven in a manner that it gives a fluffy and velvet-like feel. A comforter, on the other hand, is soft fabric that is stitched and filled with layers of materials like down feathers and polyester, wool or silk fibers. This forms the shell of the comforter. It is sometimes covered with two thin sheets stitched together for protection. With increased number of layers, a protected comforter is warmer.
There is a marked similarity between the two. Whereas you may be wary of using a blanket as a crib sheet, a baby bed comforter will effectively serve both the needs. It depends upon individual preference whether to go in for a crib blanket or a comforter. A crib comforter that has a protective cover scores over a blanket in as much as the cover can be changed and washed while the shell remains in its original condition. Although the shell is machine washable, the washing machine at your home may not be suitable for washing a large sized or a heavier comforter.
Before you actually set out to shop for a crib comforter it will be worth the trouble to inform yourself about the materials that a particular brand uses for making them. Synthetic materials and chemicals used while growing and manufacturing fabrics can harm your baby. If you are internet savvy you can easily find a website for crib comforters and quilts and make an educated decision. Your primary concern should be of the health and safety of your baby and organic products can ensure that to a large extent.
