Swaddle Designs – The Perfect Swaddle Blanket

Sick of your baby wiggling out of every swaddle blanket, waking up, and needing to be swaddle for the billionth time? So were we! Then we discovered an absolute lifesaver, the Swaddle Designs Ultimate Swaddling Blanket. Designed by Lynette Damir, a registered RN and mother of two, who was frustrated with the numerous blankets she tried. She consulted with PhDs in infant research to develop the perfect swaddle blanket. We love, love, love the outcome of her determination combined with her sense of style. Swaddle Designs Ultimate Swaddling Blanket is not only functional, but chic too. The award winning design was featured on NBC’s Today Show in January 2006 not to mention it is a celeb fave to Gwyneth Paltrow, Heidi Klum, and Tori Spelling.

We like that it is large (42″x42″) and it’s made of pre-shrunk cotton flannel or organic cotton flannel, which are total pluses. After thousands and we mean thousands of washes, the blanket didn’t shrink so much as a millimeter nor did it lose its soft, snuggly feel. It even includes a 123 Swaddle Tip Tag with illustrations on how to wrap your baby as “snug as a bug.” The ideal tool when you can’t think clearly at 3 am. Our babies stayed swaddled and slept better which means we got to catch a few Zs also. I know it may sound too good to be true, but it’s not. On the go? No problem. It folds or rolls perfectly to fit into any diaper bag. The blankets cost between $28-$32.

Damir has recently extended her line. A must have attractive burp cloth, called Baby Burpies, that coordinates with the blankets. A terrific idea so you don’t have to be embarrassed by lugging around your run-of-the-mill, oh-so-boring burp cloth. A 2-pack of Baby Burpies is $19.99.

If you have surpassed the swaddling and burp cloth phase, there is still something for you. Try a Swaddle Design Lovie. It is a smaller version of the big blanket with silky satin trim.
