1. Baby Madeleine Premium

Any little ones will smile when you bundle them in the ultra-soft Baby Madeleine Premium (about $25). This three-pack sports a different modern print on each. They're breathable and so attractive that, when your munchkin outgrows them, you'll want to hang onto them as keepsakes.

Generous 47 x 47-inch size
Great for parents new to swaddling
Lovely baby shower gift

2. Tadpoles Receiving

Available in earthy tones that will suit any nursery, the Tadpoles Receiving (around $10) is perfect for taking your baby home from the hospital. It's double-sided, with stripes on one side and a solid color on the other, and very soft to the touch.

Provides a lot of warmth
Stretchy for bundling
Good price for premium materials

3. Lamaze Essentials

Featuring adorable images of animals and nature, the Lamaze Essentials (appx. $11) is ideal for soothing crying babies. Its quality stitching should stand the test of time, as well as teething, pulling, and anything else a curious little one does to it.

Won't fade in the wash
Feels like jersey material
Perfect medium weight

4. Babysoy Reversible

Spoil your newest family member from the start with the Babysoy Reversible (about $18). As its name suggests, it sports different colors on each side, and it's made of a blend of cotton and soy-based azlon, which feels so luxurious, even you'll want one of these.

Manufactured using ethical practices
Long-lasting materials
Also ideal for toddler nap time

5. Touched by Nature

As if you aren't already snapping hundreds of photos of your little one everyday, you'll want to take more when he or she is in the Touched by Nature (about $10). It's available in several prints, along with solid options, and will look perfect in a stroller.

Packs up small for a diaper bag
Good for hot weather
May shrink in the wash

6. SonnenStrick Cable Knit

The SonnenStrick Cable Knit (about $37) doesn't look like an infant's item, so you could happily drape it across furniture outside the nursery, too. It meets the prestigious Global Organic Textile Standard, so you can be sure it's free of harmful substances.

Ideal for fall weather
Thick and durable
Must be hung up to dry

7. Burt's Bees Wearable

If your sneaky munchkin has thrown his blanket out of the stroller too many times, then the Burt's Bees Wearable (about $19) is a good choice. Its snap tabs and zipper will keep it on babies, but it still offers room for them to move around and stretch.

Available in three sizes
Won't interfere with diaper changes
Seams can fray after a while

8. American Baby Company Sweater Knit

The American Baby Company Sweater Knit (around $30) is a smart all-year-round option. It will provide warmth on chilly days with its nice weight, but also breathes well enough that it won't cause overheating. The neutral color makes it a great unisex model.

Good for car seats
Gorgeous stitch pattern
Pricey for just one

9. Moon and Back Wraps

Simple and timeless, you'll want to hang onto the Moon and Back Wraps (appx. $24) for future children or grandchildren. They won't shrink in the wash, they dry quickly, and they have a texture so comfortable it's worthy of your little one.

Get softer with each use
Hold a swaddle without unraveling
A little on the small side

10. American Baby Company Waffle

Your bundle of joy will love the texture of the American Baby Company Waffle (around $11). Its flexible fabric and round edges make it perfect for creating that snug swaddle. Unfortunately, it can show stains easily, and they are tough to remove.

Free of flame retardants
Not dyed or bleached
May unravel after multiple washes
