From First Cries to Forever: Turning Baby's Hospital Blanket into a Family Keepsake

From First Cries to Forever: Turning Baby's Hospital Blanket into a Family Keepsake

By Kat, Founder of Kat & Co.

There are few moments more unforgettable than holding your baby for the very first time — swaddled in that iconic blue-and-pink striped hospital blanket. It’s more than just fabric. It’s your first cuddle. Your first heartbeat together. Your first “we did it.”

That’s why I created the Hospital Blanket Sweatshirt — a custom piece for new moms, dads, parents, and families, made from the actual hospital blanket their baby was wrapped in, embroidered with the year they became parents and their baby’s name.


A Keepsake That Wears Like a Hug

Your baby’s hospital blanket becomes a one-of-a-kind. Applique stitched onto a soft, cozy sweatshirt, each adult sweatshirt reads MOM, DAD, or any other name/title in varsity-style letters with “EST [baby’s birth year]” underneath, and the baby’s name or initials embroidered sweetly on the sleeve with a heart.

It’s the perfect piece of clothing to celebrate new life — and a timeless keepsake you’ll treasure forever.


What Makes It Special:

- 🧸 Uses your baby’s real hospital blanket (or similar fabric)
- 🧵 Embroidered with MOM, DAD, or other title, and EST. Year
- ✨ Baby’s name or initials added for a personal touch
- 👕 Unisex adult sizing
- 🎁 Perfect for new parents, first-time parents, or memory boxes
- 🖐️ Handmade with love at Kat & Co.


How It Works:


Whether you’re gifting this to yourself or surprising a new parent, this is more than a sweatshirt — it’s a memory stitched into something you’ll never outgrow.
