This is actually an essential item for a baby. Many people do not get this item because mostly worry that the baby does not want to sleep on the baby cot. Basically, babies sleep anywhere we train them to sleep. You should let your baby sleep in their own space, being it a baby cot, playpen, travel cot, bedside cot, etc. The reason for doing so is that it is easier to separate them when they are bigger.

It is not easy to train some baby sleep on their own. The earlier you train them, the better it would be because they will be used to sleep on their own. We encounter parents telling us they regret not doing so for their firstborn and it took them 7 years to let the firstborn sleep when they plan to let him sleep in their own room. They learn from their mistake and are able to buy a baby cot for their second child. The second-born is much easier to sleep in a separate room because he was training to sleep on their own from day 1.

Thermal blankets are like knitted blankets with lots of holes that can provide enough warmth to the baby and are not really too hot for them. 

The cotton blanket is still quite popular. Muslin blanket is also among the popular items that many parents bought for their babies. Usually, many people will be using swaddle blankets for their babies when they are less than 3 months old.
