receiving blankets

Newborn wrapping cloths

Receiving blankets are small, lightweight blankets used to wrap newborns.

The name comes from their use when "receiving" a baby—swaddling the infant immediately after birth or during the early weeks.

They're typically made of soft, breathable cotton or flannel: The hospital sent us home with a stack of receiving blankets.
