SwaddleMe from Kiddopotamus



You've just brought your baby home from the hospital and he/she needs swaddling. You pull out the adorable receiving blanket your received as a gift and start to mummify your little one into a nice snug hold. Fiddling around to nurse, you realize that your baby is starting to come unwrapped! How did those hospital nurses do it so easily?

After 4 babies, I am still no swaddler. I know the benefits of swaddling well: better sleep, more content babies, and a feeling of security similar to that in the womb. I needed an easier way to get my baby bundled - safely and quickly!

Kiddopotamus offers a brilliant product called "SwaddleMe" for those of us with less-than-perfect swaddling skills. A blanket made to wrap and hold baby, it uses velcro to secure the wrap and keep baby snug. SwaddleMe comes in cotton, fleece, flannel, and organic blends. Starting at preemie sizes on up, there is a perfect fit available for any birthweight infant.

What I love most about my SwaddleMe is the easy access slit in the material for buckling your baby in the carseat! Having a January baby in Nebraska meant brutal cold conditions for the first few well-baby checks. Wrapping the baby FIRST, and then putting him in the carseat was so much easier and safer.

SwaddleMe is available at Amazon and other online retailers.
