CLOSED: The SwaddleDuo Gift Set (+ Giveaway)

If you're a new Mommy and have heard Mommies around you talk about "swaddling" but have no clue what they're talking about, do not fear! Today's the day you get to find out all you need to know about "swaddling". SwaddleDesigns, the home of all things swaddle, has a simply explained resource segment that will educate you on this wonderful technique that was used by Mommies generations of old and has now come back into the forefront with the new generation Mommies.

** Another great resource is the SwaddleDesigns Safe Sleep Program that includes recommendations from the AAP and the NIH and Safe Sleep practices and help parents reduce risk of SIDS. **

Bunny Boo is a "swaddle" testament. We swaddled him for the first 3 months or so and then slowly phased out swaddling and replaced the swaddles with sleep sacks only because his swaddle cloths got a little too short for my big boy! I haven't thrown out any of his swaddle sheets and just last evening put his Ultimate Receiving Blanket (that is now being used as a 'lie on' cover) in for its weekly wash.

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket has been very well used so when I was asked to review the SwaddleDuo Gift Set I jumped at the opportunity as I know as new Mommy-to-be who would find this to be a perfectly practical gift for her little baby.


The Buzz:

With the Swaddle-duo, parents will be prepared for a variety of environmental settings - cool, moderate and warm. The SwaddleDuo Gift Set includes two premium, baby soft cotton swaddling blankets:

• The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is a lightweight premium cotton flannel - for moderate to cooler environmental temperatures. (Read my review for the same, here)
  
• The Marquisette Swaddling Blanket is a very lightweight openweave cotton blanket - for warmer environmental temperatures

SwaddleDesigns Cotton Marquisette is similar to muslin but is made from premium quality yarns while SwaddleDesigns Cotton Flannel is made from premium preshrunk domestic cotton.

The reason behind why they've included two fabric options, can be found in the SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide. Basically, the "baby should not be too hot, or too cold, but just right ~ comfortably warm." The Goldilock’s Guide also helps new parents remember the importance of keeping baby comfortably warm.

What I love about this set is the choice of two varying swaddle fabrics especially considering we have such a variance in temperatures, especially here in Texas.


Both blankets can also be used as nursing cover ups when you've forgotten to carry your nursing cover along!

If you're a new Mommy-to-be I would definitely recommend this as a wise add when you're drawing up your list of baby essentials before your baby shower.
SwaddleDesigns is E.B. Mommy tested and E.B. Mommy approved!
