When it comes to swaddle blankets, I am obsessed. It has to be the perfect size, texture, and weight. It has to be big enough to swaddle my baby, light enough to use as a nursing cover, and flexible to cover my baby during the those windy days when I want to take her outside and have her go for a ride in her stroller.

I actually surveyed several moms in a local group that I am part of in our community. Everyone discussed all of the different ways that they use swaddle blankets on their kids. I love hearing some of the creative and practical ideas. I created a list to share with all of you!
Creative Ways to Use a Swaddle Blanket!
A Swaddle Blanket: Right when you bring baby home from the hospital you turn them into a baby burrito with a tight snug. Once they go through their colicky stage. Both of my daughter had trouble sleeping, especially the youngest who did not sleep through the night until she was 10 months old.
A Nursing Cover: If you have a large and thin swaddle blanket like the one that I have pictured below. It is thin enough so that you and baby don’t get too hot. It is also large enough so it covers enough area of you and baby so that you can privately nurse.
Changing Pad Cover: We go through these faster than I can keep with my laundry! If you have awesome swaddle blankets you can lay these over your changing pad for an easy changing cover that is easy to wash and also tucks underneath your pad because it is super long!
A Shade over the Car Seat: I love how the LollipopandLullaby Organic swaddles come with 4 clips! That is just less baby supplies I need to buy. When your baby is still in a carrier you can snap these on the carrier cover to block the sun and wind when going in and out of places!
Burp Rags: They cover a lot of square footage this way when little one spits up. Especially if you have a little one who spits up a lot.
Cloth Wipes: You can cut these little guys up and use them as cloth wipes. You can make tons out of one blanket and I usually do this once baby breaks out of swaddle and nursing stage!
Wash Cloths: Cut them up and use them for bath time!
Baby doll blankets: So my oldest LOVES to use her blankets when she plays house!

What great ideas. Both of my boys like to be swaddled for the first month, but then after that they didn’t like it anymore and I had all the blankets left over.
Alli says
I was the same way about swaddle blankets when my kids were babies. They had to be a certain size, texture, etc. And they made the best burp cloths. These look like great ones to me!
Terri says
Such a great post about the best bargains as we all need to hear about this Christmas
Jeannette says
That looks like a great swaddle blanket! My little guy woudln’t sleep unless he was swaddled for the first few months so I went through plenty of blankets. Wish I had known about this one back then.
Amanda says
Now that my boys are out of the baby stage, I am getting rid of a ton of baby supplies. I am looking forward to trying out some of your ways to reuse swaddle blankets.
Liz Mays says
I love the shading the car seat idea! That’s a really clever use. That 19.99 deal is pretty awesome.
Elizabeth O. says
Adorable! I’ve used my girls’ blanket for different things just like on the list. It’s really convenient!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
Great ideas, so creative!
tiaras and tantrums says
I adored swaddle blankets – when i discovered them. I didn’t know about them until my third baby – i now buy them for everyone having a baby!
Jeni Hawkins says
I love the nursing cover idea! I’m all about nature, and letting mother’s be natural with their babies, but I’m also all about discretion, and allowing that moment to be between mother and child – not everyone that walks by.
Nikki says
This would be easy for those for a new moms. These stuff are really cute.

These are great ideas. I use it like a shawl at home. It keeps me warm and comfortable.
Jessica Harlow says
A quality swaddle blanket is a must for all new babies. It’s always a great shower gift!
April Mims says
These are great ideas for using a swaddle blanket. My grandson really loves being swaddled.
Sojourner says
Love the washcloth idea! We have so many leftover swaddle blankets. I keep some in the car and in a basket by the sofa, but washcloths are a perfect use!
mya.k says
I didn’t know that their was so many ways to use it and I will have to tell my mom about this.
NORAH says
I used a swaddle for my 2nd baby and she was a great sleeper on it, they are seriously a blessing.
Stephanie of The TipToe Fairy says
My babies loved swaddling for about 2 minutes, and that was it. They always wanted their arms free.
Kendra says
I swaddled my babies all of the time! I never thought about using it in so many ways. Thanks for sharing!
