Baby Blankets & Bedspreads

Shop Our Wide Range of Baby Blankets & Bedspreads

The main reason for using a blanket is for warmth as your child sleeps, but it’s also familiarity and comfort that help reduce stress for your little ones as they get used to this new world they’ve been introduced to.

When you’re out and about, taking along your pram blanket is a must. If the weather changes, you can easily pop it on the baby to keep them warm and snug. If the sun starts to shine a little too bright, lay it over the pram hood to provide extra protection.

As your kids grow older, our larger bedspreads make the perfect blanket for the new big bed. Cosy comfort, beautiful designs and subtle prints mean you can use it in any surround and pair with any of our fitted sheets.

Our all seasons Tencel® Blankets and Bedspreads are the perfect all-rounder! Designed using luxurious textured Tencel® fabric, Marmalade Lion blankets are available in three of our most popular hand-illustrated designs with cotton jersey on the reverse.

We’ve created the ultimate keepsake for your baby and kids - a beautiful and sustainable baby blanket for comfort all year round.

I absolutely love Marmalade Lion in the last 6 years I have bought most items for my 2 daughters but my go to baby present is the broad brim hat. I simply love it, broad, fabulous fabric designs and never goes floppy. I’ve probably bought 20. ❤️

I love the products!! Have been using the same change mat for three years with probably monthly washes and it’s still going strong. The nesting birds are also a favourite in our house and although they are marketed as ornaments, my three year old plays with them soooo much and they have been dropped sooooo many times and they have not broken. Highly recommend. I usually but the change mats for mums expecting their first babies, it’s a great price point and they are always loved.

I bought several items from Marmelade Lion since my daughter was born in 2020. I got a change mat cover, pram liners, a picnic mat. I was happy with every single item and used them a lot! I also got a sun hat which I started using when my daughter was around 2yo. I lost it when I visited my family in France in June. I was quite sad because this hat was my favourite so I just bought a new one. Honestly I personally these sun hats are the best on the Australian market for kids 2 to 5 yo. They have adjustable head size and chin strap, they also have large stiff brim which make them great when it’s windy or when we go to the beach and the hat gets wet. I’d recommend the business to expand in Europe because in France I would not find sun hats with adjustable head size or chin straps. They just don’t seem to make these kinds of hats which chin straps for kids over 2yo. I think chin straps are great for windy days. Anyways! Highly recommended.

FAQs on Kids Blankets

How do baby blankets help with a newborn's development?

A blanket can hold a certain amount of familiarity, especially if the blanket smells like you. If you swaddle your baby, it reduces their stress and they learn about self-comfort, which helps with healthy detachment in the long term. It’s also a tactile sensory stimulation and can be their first introduction to colours and touch.

What types of materials are best for baby blankets?

Natural cottons are best as they’re breathable and warm, but you can also find blankets in fleece, flannel, wool, cashmere, and more. Whichever you choose, stay away from synthetic materials and make sure it’s non-toxic.

Can I use a regular blanket for my newborn, or should I purchase a specific type of baby blanket?

For your newborn baby, you should consider a Baby Sleep Sack rather than a blanket in their cot as this is safer for the baby and reduces the risk of entanglement and suffocation.

Are there any safety concerns when using blankets with newborns?

Bedding should be carefully considered for your baby, especially newborns. Thick blankets, quilts, and pillows can block an infant's airway, leading to unintentional sleep-related suffocation. This type of bedding can also increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

As your baby grows, you can start to transition them to standard bedding as they learn mobility skills and can easily roll over, reducing the risk of SIDS.

How many blankets should I have on hand for my newborn?

The choice is yours. Two to three blankets would be average to help make life a little easier. Think of one being used, one in the wash, and one on the shelf. That way, you can rotate them. You might also want different colours and fabrics—some for winter and some for summer.

Our blankets can be used all year, but on colder nights, you may want to add another layer.

Can I use a blanket as a swaddle?

A blanket is probably too thick to use as a swaddle. Generally, when you swaddle your baby, it’s in a light, breathable blanket that helps them feel calm. You don’t want your baby to overheat, and a blanket provides warmth.

What are some features to look for in a high-quality baby blanket?

Look for breathable fabric, washing machine safe, durable, and versatile. And make sure it’s soft.

When is it appropriate to stop using a baby blanket with my child?

Generally, at about one year, your child has learned the mobility skills to reduce the risk of SIDS. It’s around this time that you can start to transition them to standard bedding.

How do I properly clean and care for my baby's blankets?

Simply pop the blanket in the wash; a delicate cycle is best. Line dry it to maintain its softness and durability.
