"The present invention is a wearable infant blanket that can be wrapped around an infant's waist or chest by an elasticized top opening. It is made of a fabric bag that has a top opening and a sealed bottom. An elastic member is formed integrally with the top opening's periphery, making the top opening have a smaller width than the sealed bottom. This design allows for a snug fit and easy adjustment for infants."

However, such blanket even when adequately covers the infant by the parent when placing the infant to sleep, the blanket can be easily kicked off or thrown off when the infant turns his or her body in the crib.
Unless the parents constantly checking on the infant, it is very likely that the infant will catch a cold or otherwise becomes sick for not being kept warm.
