Right now your baby is snuggled up in your belly. With your ambient internal body temp of just over 98 degrees Fahrenheit, your little guy or gal is getting used to a cozy, comfy type of warmth that the out-of-the-womb environment won’t provide. Hmm — maybe that’s part of the reason your newborn is kind of scream-y when she comes out. If your little one will be making her debut this winter, she’ll need one of these soft, stylish, and anything-but-boring blankies. Just remember not to put blankets in a newborn’s crib — safety first!
