what to do with baby blankets?

joyco · June 2011

I think people thought my boys would be very, very cold because I received well over 30 baby blankets--mostly the cotton ones from a store, not "special" ones. What do I do with them? I mean, there's probably not going to be a point in the future where they'll need them, right? I'm keeping one or two per kid--the ones they used the most--but what to do with the other 900 of them?

You could donate them.

cut them up and use them as rags/dust rags.

cut them up and make a memory quilt out of them.

I'd donate to my church -- they take baby clothes & supplies. I actually have a box for mine in my car right now...

Are you talking about the flannel recieving blanket kind of cotton ones? I took our stash of 20+ and cut them into snot rags Soft on kids faces and removes snot effectively. Washable if you want, disposable if you want. I also used some with just water as disposable baby wipes when the girls have had a rash and I don't want to burn their bum with regular baby wipes.

Just blanket blankets? I'd probably give them to the animal shelter for puppies or something.

That's adorable!!

But to answer your question - I say keep some to cut up, donate the rest.
