Swaddle Designs Receiving Blanket and Lovie {Review}

Are you hooked on swaddling or considering it? I’m a huge believer in the wonderful benefits of swaddling and used this soothing technique on both my babies for as long as they would let me. I used a velcro swaddler but both of my boys were able to get their hands free and eventually become unswaddled. There is nothing I hate more than picking my baby up and finding cold baby hands! Sleep sacks are also great but they don’t keep arms and hands warm. Normal sized receiving blankets are simply inadequate.Earlier this year I was lucky to win the above swaddling blanket from Swaddle Designs during a blog anniversary giveaway at Baby Luxe {daily}. At the time I was desperately looking for a large receiving blanket for my infant son who was swaddled each night. Of course I LOVE this blanket. (I wouldn’t be telling you about it if I didn’t.) I have never found a more generous sized receiving blanket in any retail store. It was perfect. I would wrap him in it and then use the Velcro swaddler on top of that and he was snug as a bug and warm all night long. It isn’t thick so you can use it year round and feel safe with it in your baby’s crib. I’ve also used it as a play time mat, sun protector on the stroller and an all purpose blanket that is perfect for summer!

Lynette is the founder and was such a pleasure to work with when selecting my blanket. The blanket came beautifully packaged and she even included this lovie as a bonus. It was above and beyond and totally made my “I haven’t gotten much sleep and am struggling with two kids under the age of two” day.
Swaddle Designs also has lots of different types of blankets, sleep sacks and burp cloths. This would be the perfect shower gift or splurge for your own baby. You can see all she has to offer here.
