I bought this as a gift. After reading all the reviews, I really expected something different. While the pictures and colors are bright, the actual weight of the blanket floored me! It’s slightly thicker than cheesecloth. It is thin! I read what the fabrication is and can only hope that it will soften upon washing and use and not fall apart. I, almost, feel embarrassed giving this to the couple and had to purchase an actual baby blanket. I understand it’s to swaddle the baby but was not expecting it to be this flimsy. At least the burp cloth is doubled. Disappointed.
