Abstract:

A blanket comprising of a sheet of fabric of predetermined shape folded vertically, into three sections, and at the base of the folded fabric a gusset is attached. The folded fabric consists of a central area, a right-hand side and a left-hand side. Together, the central area, the right-hand side and the left-hand side make up the securing compartment. Attached to the front base of the folded fabric is a T-shaped wrapping flap with right and left securing flaps. The right-hand side and left-hand side of the folded fabric may include hook and loop fasteners for securing an infant inside the securing compartment. The right and left securing flaps of the T-shaped wrapping flap include hook and loop fasteners that wrap around the sides and the back of the securing compartment and overlap and join in the back of the securing compartment, and thus, the back of the infant. T-shaped wrapping flap may be eliminated and replaced with two additional flaps; a right alternative flap and a left alternative flap. The alternative flaps may have many shapes and sizes, ranging from wide and oval, to narrow and rectangular.
