Receiving Blankets

What do you use 'receiving blankets' for? And why are they so-called?
Why is a 'receiving blanket' a 'receiving blanket'?
And what gets done with them in your house? I keep seeing 'oh, you'll need tons, I got ten and that wasn't enough...' Huh? I can't say we get loads of mileage out of blankets here. What exactly are you doing with them, if you go through a lot?
(No, seriously. I really don't get it.)
Oh my.. why can't you do with receiving blankets would be a better question! 
I, personally, used them for swaddling babies, burping babies, propping car seats up.. holding babies heads up in car seats, cleaning puke off the tile floor, wiping baby's butt when they have a diaper rash... They're incredible and extremely useful. You really can't have too many... they're cheap enough to be disposable when they're stained or get ripped in the wash.
How many burp cloths, receiving blankets, and bibs do I need?
I hope and plan on breastfeeding so are bibs for a newborn really necessary? I've read that babies do not spit up as often, and if he/she did then I can quickly catch it with a burp cloth right? But, then again, I may have to change his clothes altogether b/c it might drip on his clothing when it would have spilled onto his bib! Thanks!
I am exclusively breastfeeding. You will definitely need burp cloths and bibs. Even if he doesn't spit up as much, he will DROOL ! You will need about 10 or so receiving blankets, and then about 5 or 6 of the bigger, but not huge, cuddly blankets. I would say around 20 or so burp cloths. Every baby is different!
