Warm but impractical

We received this as a gift. I was excited to use it as the weather was getting colder. It is so nice and warm and thick. When I first tried it out, when baby girl was newborn, it was way too big so I put it away for a couple months. When I pulled it out again it was already too small. Her body was too long and she likes to be stretched out. The velcro is not very strong so she could wriggle it open. The velcro also has to be matched up perfectly to stay closed which means she has to be just the right size to make it work. It guess I missed that perfect size. We are talking about tearing open the bottom and sewing in an extra piece but not sure if and when that’ll happen. Overall, I like the feel and warmth of the blanket but it was never a good fit.
