Babies Swaddled In The Same Receiving Blanket After Birth

Have you ever looked at baby pictures and wondered why every newly arrived baby is swaddled in the oh so famous white, pink, and blue swaddle blanket? Well here's why...

"In the early 1950s, receiving blankets were usually made from dull beige cloth. Mills, ever the innovator, wanted to do for blankets what he had done for scrubs. “He asked the women in the office what they would do differently to spice it up a little bit,” says Abrams. They went through a number of iterations and finally settled on the blue- and pink-striped version because, as you might have suspected, it’s good for both girls and boys."

And there's actually a name for those swaddle blankets our babies get at the hospital...

And we're not suppose to take the blankets home???
