preparations

I'm 24 weeks (25 weeks on Monday) and I'm starting to get all of what my baby is going to need. As a ftm this brings up a couple questions one of them being how many receiving blankets do I need?  Another question would be about having my baby shower, I'm due towards the end of April so when should I have my shower? Thanks ahead of time for the help! :)

I use receiving blankets as burp rags a lot of the time because the I always seem to run out of burp rags before I get laundry done so I keep at least 10 receiving blankets and then different ones for bedding. I did my baby shower about 6 weeks before my due date with my first baby

Baby shower 27-35 weeks. And the list of baby stuff I have a list in my journals. But receiving blankets I use as burp cloths because you never know when a big spew will happen I have 8-10

Receiving blankets have multiple uses so yes I would say plenty, like around 15 since they come about 4 to 5 a pack. But that's something you could wait for your baby shower for because lots of people usually buy receiving blankets. & normally 1 to 2 months before your due is average for having a baby shower, I did my first sons two months before and plan to do the same for this one... :-) good luck.

Lol as far as receiving blankets go I must have about 15 or 16, I have 6 or 7 blankets for the bedding, 6 swaddling blankets..... honestly it's a personal choice some ladies don't even get receiving blankets  or don't end up using them, I find them to be very useful idk why I got so many but it never hurts, I went a bit over board when it came to little things the baby needs

I have 4 receiving blankets so far so I'm just trying to figure out about how many more I should get.

Most people normal do babyshowers around 7 months, but its really your call. And id say plenty of blankets just incase of spit ups or other accidents.
