Why a Blanket Might Be the Best Choice for Tummy Time
When preparing for tummy time, many parents instinctively reach for a tummy time mat. But don’t overlook one of the simplest—and most effective—alternatives: a high-quality baby blanket. From convenience and cleanliness to comfort and versatility, a blanket often checks more boxes than a traditional mat.
Why Choose a Blanket Over a Mat for Tummy Time?
Opting for a blanket instead of a dedicated mat during tummy time offers a blend of practicality and peace of mind. For starters, a blanket acts as a barrier between your baby and the floor—shielding sensitive mouths and fingers from everyday dust, lint, and whatever mysteries may lurk on your carpets.
Blankets also step up as protectors for your floors, rugs, and sofas. Babies are notorious for drooling and the occasional spit-up mid-tummy time adventure, and a blanket’s there to catch the mess, saving your furnishings from surprise stains.
When it’s time to clean up, blankets truly shine. Most are machine washable and far simpler to refresh than bulky, foam mats. Just toss your blanket in with the weekly laundry—no scrubbing or special instructions needed. Plus, unlike larger mats, blankets fold up small for easy storage or on-the-go playdates.
In short, while specialty mats have their merits, a blanket brings day-to-day convenience, flexibility, and easy care to every tummy time session.
