How many swaddle/receiving blankets do you actually need? Is 20 going overboard?

I think I got by with 10 tbh.

I would say 7-10 also

I think 20 is too many I think we maybe used 5 to 7.

swaddles i used around 5 i got a ton on receiving blankets and only used them when she was first born since she was so small so maybe 2-3

I had loads and only used around 5 but my daughter wasn’t a refluxy/sicky baby

My LO hated swaddles so I’m happy I only got three to begin with. Blankets I have about 5, all different materials and warmth.

I have 5 sleeping bags as well, with two different tog.

Blankets - we only ever used 2 (one in the car and one in her buggy). We've got good heating in the house, plus it started getting warmer.
Swaddles - only used for sleep and she hated the wrap style ones so they were only used a few weeks before I got the sleeping bag ones that are a bit stretchier.
Muslins is what you need a bunch of - in all different sizes! We have little 20cm² ones, 45cm² ones, and massive 120cm² ones. They're used as changing mats, dribble wipes, snot rags, wash cloths, swaddling, thin blankets, under her in the buggy to protect the mattress. Honestly we have about 25 and they're all used, and will likely be used well into childhood!

Sorry I misread the post.
Blankets - only used 2
Swaddles - my daughter only liked 1 particular one (an arms up one)
Muslins - only used around 5. This is what I had loads of and they were wasted.

3 large muslins and 5 small ones

Think I have about 5 of each and just going to see how that goes #clueless 😂🙈

20 is far too many! You will end up with unused ones xx

20 is probably a bit much. We wound up with 10-12 I think and definitely had more than enough- we used them for multiple things as well.

You're set for life with 20. Even if they get sick on them a few times a day you're looking at laundry every 4-5 days and still be fine.

We had 4 Velcro swaddles (2 different brands) and just rewore them until one got dirty

We had like 6 with Velcro and that was enough because we reused them until they got messy. Never really used receiving blankets but burp clothes are a must get at least 2 for every day babies spit up so much.
