How am I supposed to utilize my baby's blanket?
I'm 37 weeks and this is my first baby. I know that babies aren't supposed to be put to bed with huge blankets and they should be swaddled with a receiving blanket, but for how long? I also got some regular baby blankets that are soft and have a different texture than the receiving blankets. Will he use that one and what's the safest way to let him use it?
You can choose to use the blankets however you see fit. You will probably instinctively chose whatever is best for your baby.
It is recommended that baby's not be put to bed with big, fluffy comforters due to the increased rates of SIDS. So if you have one of those kinds of blankets, you can put it up on the wall or put it away until the child is older.
Many newborns are comforted by swaddling. Some are not. You can try it (with whatever blanket you choose) and see if your baby likes it. Keep doing it as long as he likes it. When he has outgrown it, he will let you know by fussing if you try to swaddle him ( or kicking out of the blanket)

This website offers some really great blankets and allows you to basically design them how you want. I especially like their thermal knit blankets with a great silk-like binding. They’re pretty big, light weight and a little stretchy so they make great swaddling blankets. My son has really gotten very attached to his! Hope this helps.
