Swaddling was a really helpful tool for my husband and I to calm our son when he was an infant. From the moment he was born, the nurses at the hospital wrapped him tightly and showed us how to do so too. Though you'd better just forget about those teeny, pointless receiving blankets you're inundated with at your baby shower. They truly are useless, unless you decide to cut them up for cloth wipes like I did.
This time around, I'll be using the SwaddleDuo set from SwaddleDesigns. This generously-sized, soft and mod-looking swaddling blanket is perfect for swaddling a newborn, and the SwaddleDuo is available in 17 great styles!
The SwaddleDuo contains two blankets, one made of Cotton Marquisette open weave for use in warmer weather and climates, and one cotton flannel blanket for cooler temps.
You should always refer to “The SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide™--"baby should not be too hot, or too cold, but just right ~ comfortably warm." --which helps new parents remember the importance of keeping baby comfortably warm.
The edges are finished with a machine blanket stitch, and there's even a little tag on the blanket itself reminding users on the proper way to swaddle--brilliant! In addition to swaddling, these blankets are the perfect size for bringing along in the stroller or car, especially when you might run into some cool breezes. The SwaddleDuo would be a perfect baby shower gift.
SwaddleDesigns strives to help new parents care for their baby by providing accurate and up-to-date information, so parents can may make informed choices.
SwaddleDesigns Safe Sleep Program includes recommendations from the AAP and the NIH as the company strives to increase awareness of Safe Sleep practices and help parents reduce risk of SIDS. To learn more about safe sleeping, visit the Safe Sleep Page at SwaddleDesigns. You can also get exclusive savings and updates on SwaddleDesigns' products by joining their mailing list here.
