Why Moms Are Switching from Cotton to Minky (And What No One Tells You)

Let’s be honest: the moment you hold your baby for the first time, every decision suddenly feels monumental. Bottles, bassinets, blankets—oh my. And when it comes to blankets, many moms start with what they know: good ol’ cotton.

But there’s a reason so many moms are ditching the scratchy, stiff baby blankets in favor of something softer, warmer, and let’s face it—cuter.

Minky Isn’t Just Soft—It’s a Game-Changer

Minky blankets are made from plush, buttery-soft material that feels like a hug. But it’s not just about softness. Parents who switch often say their babies sleep longer, fuss less, and cling to these blankets like it’s their comfort item for life.

And that’s not marketing fluff—moms tell us their babies won’t let go of their minky blanket at bedtime.

The Truth Cotton Doesn’t Tell You

Cotton is breathable, sure. But it also wrinkles, shrinks, and loses softness after a few washes. Minky? It holds its shape, its texture, and its magic—even after endless spills, spit-ups, and midnight wash cycles.

No lie: once a minky mom, always a minky mom.
