Which blanket to choose for baby?
Preparing for the arrival of a baby is a unique, emotion-filled moment. Every detail counts in creating a warm, comfortable and elegant world for the kid. Among essential accessories, the baby blanket holds a central place. It is not only a source of comfort, but also a reassuring staple for the kid and a treasured keepsake for parents. Whether for naps in the cot, stroller walks or cuddle times, the baby blanket quickly becomes indispensable.
At Tartine et Chocolat, each blanket is designed as a true cocoon of softness and refinement, with particular care given to the quality of materials, feel and aesthetics.
OUR MATERIALS:
The first criterion to consider when choosing a blanket is the material. At Tartine et Chocolat, we select only noble, natural fibres: merino wool, cashmere and cotton. These materials provide softness, warmth and breathability, while caring for the delicate skin of little ones. Unlike fleece or synthetic blankets, our blankets offer a unique sensory experience and exceptional durability.
Merino wool naturally regulates body temperature. It keeps baby warm during cool nights while wicking away moisture to prevent any discomfort. Naturally hypoallergenic, it is ideal for sensitive skin and ensures optimal comfort for baby's sleep, whether in the bed, cradle or while resting in parents' arms. Its lightness and flexibility also make it suitable as a swaddle blanket, providing a reassuring cocoon during the first few weeks.
Cashmere, the symbol of luxury and softness, wraps baby in a warm cocoon while remaining lightweight and breathable. A cashmere blanket quickly becomes a cherished companion for naps, walks or cuddles. Giving a cashmere blanket means choosing a precious, durable piece filled with memories that will last through the years.
Cotton, for its part, combines everyday comfort with practicality. Our 100% cotton blankets are particularly suitable for warmer days, relaxing at home, or as travel blankets. Soft, breathable and easy to care for, cotton is perfect for sensitive skin. Some styles are reversible and feature delicate prints, like the Toile de Jouy-inspired blanket or the Rêve étoilé blanket, adding charm and poetry to the bedroom.
OUR PRINTED BLANKETS:
Our wool and cashmere styles, such as the embroidered Hedgehog blanket, bring warmth, softness and délicatesse to wrap baby in a true cocoon of comfort. Beyond the fabric, style, colour and patterns play a central role in a kid's world. Some blankets feature charming embroidered animals, adding a playful and poetic touch to the bedroom, while others can be personalised with the kid's name to create a unique and cherished keepsake.
Whichever colour or print you choose, our blankets are carefully designed to offer your baby comfort and softness.
OUR PERSONALISED BLANKETS: A personal touch for your baby
Our customisable blankets are available in a wide palette of colours, in wool or cashmere, allowing parents to choose the style that complements their bedroom decor perfectly. Whether celebrating a newborn, a christening or a first birthday, these blankets become memorable companions, combining comfort, style and emotion.
Picture a cosy blanket carefully embroidered with your kid's name. Far more than a simple accessory, personalised blankets offer the opportunity to create precious, timeless memories.
BLANKETS FOR OUTINGS: Comfort and protection for all seasons
When choosing a baby blanket, several factors should be considered. Material is essential, but intended use, size and care must also be kept in mind. Our merino wool, cashmere or cotton blankets are designed for every everyday situation: in the cot, as a swaddle blanket, for pushchair strolls or for travel. To suit these uses while ensuring optimal comfort, our blankets come in a single size of 100 x 75 cm, perfectly suited to newborns and providing ample room to wrap the kid in soft security.
OUR CARE ADVICE:
Blanket care is simple and designed to preserve their softness and quality. 100% natural cotton blankets can be machine-washed at 30 °C on a delicate cycle, while merino wool or cashmere blankets should be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle, without spinning, to preserve all the natural properties and suppleness of the fibres. Well cared for, these blankets will last for years while remaining soft and elegant, making them a lasting investment for families who value comfort and quality.
THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF BLANKETS IN BABY'S DAILY LIFE AND WELL-BEING
Having at least two blankets ensures you always have a clean one to hand, whether for the cot, stroller or travel. The durability of the materials used stands up to daily use while retaining softness and quality. Children, who frequently handle blankets, need a sturdy yet supple fabric that can withstand frequent use.
Beyond functionality, a baby blanket plays an important emotional role. It becomes a familiar, reassuring item for the baby, accompanying the first milestones of life. Giving a cashmere, merino wool or cotton blanket means giving a cocoon of tenderness and security—a companion for every rest and playtime moment of the kid. These blankets often become precious family keepsakes, standing the test of time while retaining their beauty and softness.
In terms of decoration, the blanket also helps coordinate the bed and the bedroom. Soft colours and refined patterns create a soothing, elegant atmosphere, perfect for baby to relax and sleep. A well-chosen blanket complements the decor seamlessly and contributes to a warm environment for the kid.
Whether for naps at home, walks or travelling, Tartine et Chocolat personalised blankets offer comfort, warmth, protection and style. They accompany the kid from their very first moments and become faithful companions throughout their early years, while offering parents the opportunity to create a unique and precious keepsake.
The house of Tartine et Chocolat hopes to have helped parents choose the ideal blanket for baby to accompany them throughout their early years.
