According to leading SIDS researchers, both overheating AND overchilling are risk factors for SIDS. In addition, it’s important for parents to understand that when baby is too cool during sleep, baby will use valuable energy to stay warm instead of growing and thriving. Over the past few years some juvenile product companies have over focused on overheating as a SIDS risk factor, and there has been a lack of balanced conversation regarding insufficient thermal insulation – the danger of baby being too cool - as a risk factor for SIDS. It is time for a balanced information where parents are educated and reminded of their important responsibility to make sure baby is not too hot or too cold, but comfortably warm.
Founded by Lynette Damir, RN, in 2002, SwaddleDesigns was the first company to introduce the large square swaddling blanket to the US and many countries around the world. SwaddleDesigns is known for their premium quality fabric, fabulous colors and prints, decorative edge, and the innovative 123 Swaddle® instructional label that helps new parents master the art of swaddling. SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets are perfect for swaddling and have many uses such as a privacy throw for breastfeeding moms, a tummy time play mat and a cover over the stroller.

Our Thoughts~~
I love these blankets. They are large enough for bigger babies too. I have mentioned before on other posts how much I dislike the 30x30 receiving blankets because they really are only good for a big burp cloth. Where Swaddle Designs duo has 2 blankets each of them are 44x44 or larger and they have 2 fabric styles to meet either your colder climate or larger climate. Another feature of these blankets is the easy how to swaddle tag that is sewn on to each blanket. Great for newly swaddling parents or a refresher course for the more seasoned veterans. These large blankets are great for nursing in public because you can easily cover up all the angles. I love that I can pretty much wrap the blanket over my shoulder on the side I am nursing and lean back against it so my little squirmmer doesn't give a peep show and then also be able to tuck it under the other arm and hold it down over there as well at the same time. The lightweight muslin one is even light enough for warmer environment nursing. You don't get too hot and the baby isn't sweating to death while having a meal.
Anyone looking for a great gift for a new mom in your life or still trying to find a great blanket for yourself please check these out. I know a few of my friends and I have taken these style blankets to be our go to Baby Shower Gifts. a Rafflecopter giveaway

ReplyDeleteI learned that babies should be swaddled so their hands are still in reach of their mouth!
ReplyDeleteI always thought that they needed to be like a mummy - yet they say to allow room to reach mouth/face... who knew!

I learned that a loose swaddle is ineffective, but that you don't want it too tight!

I learned that swaddled babies sleep better than unswaddled ones, and that swaddling reduces the risk of SIDS!

I didn't know that swaddling reduces risk of SIDS
ReplyDeleteThey should be able to reach their mouth. Interesting.
ReplyDeletei learned to remove the swaddling blanket when breastfeeding, to put it over the baby for warmth during and then to swaddle him again afterwards
ReplyDeleteI learned that babies get twice as much REM sleep with the swaddling blankets.
ReplyDeleteI learned you need to make sure the baby's joints are in a natural position to encourage proper development when swaddling.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Snug swaddling soothes babies by reminding them of being in the womb

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that "Medical experts recommend a sleep environment of 65-70°F (18-21°C" That's new to me and good to know. Especially since I like my house more toasty that that.
ReplyDeleteI knew it already, but we all should be constantly reminded that babies should always be put to sleep on their backs to help avoid SIDS. (Corey Olomon)(olomon@Hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI learned you should swaddle a baby so that they can still put their hands in their mouths
ReplyDeletehrddiana556@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteBabies should be cozy and warm and still be able to put their hands near/in their mouths.
