Favorite. Baby. Blanket. Ever.
I seriously couldn’t be more excited about my new SwaddleDesigns stroller blanket and the entire line in general. I’ve seen their products in a few department stores and fell in love with their simple, “dot” designs, pretty colors, and their ultra luxious soft feel. I also found out that they are a local Seattle company and I love to support local business!
Blankets are the BEST gift for new babies. My 5 month old spent the first 2 months of his life swaddled tight, pretty much all the time and now continues to sleep swaddled at night. My husband literally asked our post-partum nurse to show him how to do it a dozen times. Swaddling isn’t as easy as it sounds and going on very little sleep doesn’t make your memory any sharper. Swaddle Designs swaddling blankets have labels with simple 3 step directions…love that! It’s a perfect little reminder on how to do it. You can also learn more about how to achieve the correct swaddle on their website.
Something else I love about this company is their care and concern for sleep safety. The SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide™ ensures that baby should not be too hot, or too cold, but just right ~ comfortably warm. Our job as parents is to be educated about sleep and this guide is a great source of knowledge. Putting baby to sleep on his or her back, on a firm surface without any soft toys or blankets are also important reminders. Before I had my son, I didn’t know that babies should not be put in bed with a blanket. SwaddleDesigns created their zzZZip me Sacks which are wearable blankets to keep babies warm at night, without posing a suffocation risk. They are cute and serve and important purpose.
You can buy hats, towels, burp cloths, crib sheets, and more from SwaddleDesigns and I was lucky enough to review their *BRAND NEW* true blue puff circles stroller blanket!! The Jewel Collection is their newest line and I am in love with the beautiful, bold, rich colors!! This stroller blanket also comes in delicate pastel colors with dots or circles and they are all adorable. The blanket is nice and big, super soft, and lined with satin.
I’m not sure who loves this blanket more…my son, or me! (which is great because you can also buy an adult sized blanket) Rowan is 5 months old (today!!) and we’ve been using his new blanket everyday. It’s been cold and snowy here and we’ve had quite a few snuggle sessions by the fire. Before naps I’ve been covering him up with the blanket and using the satin to stroke his cheek while we cuddle. I’m sure this blanket will be his favorite and will follow him to bed when he’s a toddler. It’s also been great to cover him up on walks in the stroller. Perfect size, and you can see that he likes the way the satin feels in his mouth…where everything seems to go these days.
A couple of weeks ago I attended a baby shower and my girlfriend received a SwaddleDesigns Ultimate Receiving Blanket and Lovie. A lot of the moms there were impressed with the looks and quality of the items and agreed that their products were some of their own personal favorites.
