...after I washed this one to get ready for my daughter's arrival, I noticed a hole in it! I'm going to take it back to the store and exchange it for another one. I really like cotton ribbed blankets. My 2 year old son is STILL attached to the one he's had since he was a baby. The blankets are especially great for when the weather isn't terribly cold but you still need a little something to cover up with. I have also found these blankets to be bigger than the normal "receiving blankets."
By the way, I've always washed these blankets in the washing machine on the delecate cycle and then tumble dryed them in the dryer on low. They're still holding up!

When I received this blanket I loved it. It was soft and a nice color pink (not "pepto pink"). I went to wash it so it's ready for use when baby arrives and was surprised to find a sticker placed over the original washing instructions, stating to machine/hand wash cold and drip dry. When I followed these new instructions (keeping in mind that it's advised not to use fabric softner on baby stuff) the blanket dried kind of stiff. I don't think I would like this blanket if I was baby - I would prefer the flannel ones that I have that go in the dryer and come out nice and soft. I am going to try tumble drying it, taking the chance that it might fall apart.

I got both the green and the pink and they work fine but are not meant for cold weather...worked great in the summer.

I also received this blanket with the new sticker over it. It is no longer machine washable. Who really wants to hand wash a blanket whenever it gets spit up on it? Give me a break. You guys should really change the ad for this one.
