Woombie Baby Review & Giveaway!!

Having a baby can be a nerve wracking thing! One worry I have with my babies is keeping them warm at night, especially in the cold months.  Since blankets aren't a safe option how can I keep the baby warm? Introducing the Woombie!! Woombies are made of a Cotton/Spandex blend & come in 10 styles & 4 Sizes!!  This is a secure way for your baby to sleep, and makes them feel like they are back in the womb!

Swaddle your baby Safely and Effectively with The Woombie ... designed to ease your mind and comfort your baby so you may both achieve a better nights sleep. The Woombie is the safest & most NATURAL way to Swaddle your baby, encouraging baby to softly stretch extremities as needed, just like in the womb. The Woombie comforts, softly confines arms & gently compresses baby's unique curves to hug baby... preventing Startling issues, face scratching, overheating and also preventing dangerous loose unraveled blankets from covering baby's face.

I love that this keeps your baby comforted and feel more secure, especially during those first weeks and months when this big world is a bit scary for little ones!!  I got to try the Mega Tahiti Woombie, and this was so soft and snuggly!! It helps to prevent facial scratching as well, which I think is really important!  This is a great product for anyone expecting or that already has a baby, since they come in several sizes!

Aden + Anais Swaddling Blanket Giveaway!

Comfort and warmth are the things to calm your baby in those first few trying weeks. Snuggle your little one in the soft muslin of Aden + Anais swaddlers!!  Why swaddle with muslin?


Swaddling is said to be as familiar to babies as it is to thier moms because it recreates the secure and cozy feeling of the womb -- and using swaddles made of natural cotton muslin only enhances that blissful feeling. Muslin is a finely-woven breathable fabric believed to have originated in Bangladesh during the Middle Ages. It's delicate, yet durable weave, makes the fabric stretchy, and therefore ideal for swaddling, as the natural give" allows the blanket to be tucked snuggly around a baby without being overly restrictive.

The lightweight muslin also permits air to circulate around the baby's body, while still providing comfort and warmth without the worry that the baby may overheat in moderate weather. Cotton muslin is also a workhorse fabric, in that wraps woven from this natural fiber stands up to repeated washings only becoming softer -- and better -- with age.

Of course, all the scientific evidence in the world is no substitute for the experience of millions of Mothers through uncountable generations: that swaddling in muslin is one of the most loving, gentle, restorative acts a mother can perform for her child.

THE BASIC SWADDLE

STEP 1 Lay the swaddle in a diamond shape and fold the top corner down to form a triangle. Place your baby in the center of the folded area with their head just above the fold of the swaddle. Ensure that your baby’s shoulders are still below the fold. STEP 2 Place your baby’s right arm slightly bent at the elbow flat against their body. Take the left side of the swaddle and bring it across your baby’s chest. Ensure their arm is securely under the fabric. Tuck the edge of the swaddle under their body to ensure a secure swaddle.

STEP 3 Fold the bottom of the  swaddle up & over  your baby’s feet.

STEP 4 Finally, place your baby’s left arm slightly bent at the elbow against their body, take the right side of the swaddle & bring it across your baby’s chest. Tuck the excess fabric underneath your baby to secure the swaddle.

What a great step-by-step!! Thank you Aden + Anais!! I was lucky enough to get to try out the Snuggle Bug Organic!!  This swaddler has a beautiful dragonfly design and is incredibly soft. Definitely a comfortable wrap for your baby!

Swaddle Designs Review and Giveaway

The best way to comfort your newborn and help him feel at home is to swaddle him (or her!) nice and snug! Looks pretty difficult to me!! Things never stay as nice and tight as when the nurses do it. Now, of course, they show you how to do it when you have your baby at the hospital...after 24 hours of grueling, exhausting labor. I'm sure you paid attention. But now you're at home with this tiny little person who is flailing his arms and you can't remember!?!? Well, rest assured that someone has heard your prayers Mom, and that person is Lynette Damir of Swaddle Designs!!

While visiting families with new babies, Lynette found that parents struggled with swaddling because they didn’t have the right kind of blanket (most were too small or too thick) and they could not remember how to make a good secure swaddle. Lynette wanted to share her knowledge of proper swaddling because she understood that parents needed help when trying to learn how to swaddle. Lynette designed The Ultimate Receiving Blanket® with 123 Swaddle® instructional tag sewn to its edge. Lynette’s blanket has helped hundreds of thousands of new parents learn how to swaddle to calm and comfort their newborns.   Check out their Swaddling Tips! (from Swaddle Designs)

Genius!! I was so thrilled to receive the Dots Stars and Hearts Receiving blanket!  The pattern is colorful and fun, and my daughter loves how soft it is!!
They have so many great patterns and different styles to choose from!! And I love that they put the instructions right there on the blanket, sewn in so it doesn't stick out!!
