Question

Can you recommend what kind of blanket is best for a child?

Answer

When selecting a suitable blanket for your child, consider the following points:

  1. During spring, when the room temperature is about 10 to 15 degrees Celsius, the blanket should completely cover the child’s hands and feet, leaving only the head exposed, and the child should sleep in a flat or side position.
  2. As the room temperature rises to 18 to 25 degrees Celsius, it is permissible to allow the child to extend their hands outside the blanket.
  3. In the transition from spring to summer, when the room temperature is around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, let the child’s hands and feet be outside the blanket, but remember to cover the chest and abdomen.
  4. In autumn and spring, the weight of the blanket should be approximately 1 to 1.5 kilograms.
  5. In summer, when the temperature reaches 32 to 34 degrees Celsius, although the child’s body temperature is lower during deep sleep, still take care to cover the abdomen to prevent catching a cold or indigestion. It is recommended to use mulberry silk blankets as they are free of chemical additives and beneficial for infants’ health. The amino acids in silk help maintain a dry and comfortable sleeping environment, and its anti-fungal and antibacterial properties are also very suitable for baby blankets.
