Stupid questions but is a receiving blanket the same as a swaddling blanket?

@kylesmom16 o ok thanks

I only opened my bag for hygiene and pjs and his outfit to leave. I even stayed a week: everything else was provided

I agree with @katiesmiles1, hospital gives you soooo much. Their blankets are big enough I even took some from there. We pay for the stay take advantage of what they give lol I had plenty of diapers at home I still asked for more.

@sam-i-am, also the hospital will give you some so you don't need to pack one , don't over pack save space for the goodies

@kylesmom16, I completely agree lol , my son loves being swaddled or needs to have a blanket on him if not he won't fall asleep and my niece is the polar opposite

Honestly I used them for about a month.. my son now hates even blankets on him so it's literally hit and miss anyway

@lexonmars @avahcruz @kylesmom16 @katiesmiles1 o ok thanks guys I was confused when someone told my to not forget to pack a receiving blanket lol

It depends on how big the receiving blanket is, I used swaddle sacks on my son and when they were all dirty

I would use a receiving blanket

Yes and no some receiving blankets are smaller but it still works this is a receiving swaddle when my son was born.. but it didn't last long. Swaddling blankets worked longer. It's partially inside out I know.

Yes lol I thought it was two different thing ? But honestly the swaddling blankets are just a little more stretchy
