Abstract

The present invention is a blanket for newborns and infants that includes an outer cover, a first bumper, a second bumper, and a third bumper. The outer cover has a top sheet and a bottom sheet. The top sheet is sewn to the bottom sheet. The first bumper, the second bumper, and the third bumper have a plurality of panels joined to form a tubular bag sized to house an amount of a filler material therein. The filler material is charged into the tubular bag. The tubular bag is securely closed after the tubular bag is filled with the filler material such that the filler material remains within the tubular bag during use. The first bumper and the second bumper are secured respectively to two opposite sides of the outer cover. The first bumper and the second bumper are in spaced parallel relationship so as to provide a centrally disposed confinement area on the outer cover. The third bumper positioned between the first bumper and the second bumper is secured to the outer cover.
