Swaddle Wraps
The nice women at Solana Babywear sent me a sample of their gorgeous swaddle blankets. They make light weight, 100% cotton fabric swaddle blankets which will become not only a must have in your household but a “don’t know what I ever did without it” wrap. Started by two women Theresa and Sunny, the blanket was made to keep babies snuggled and warm but not overheat the baby.
Swaddling is part of the 5 “S’s” for calming and getting a baby to sleep; Swaddling, Side sleeping, Sshhhh, Swinging and Sucking. Swaddling is especially important in the first weeks after your baby is born to give him the comfort of the womb and also to prevent SIDS.
The fabric of this swaddle wrap is so soft and comfortable, it is perfect for newborn baby skin. It is also very generous in size, measuring 44″ x 55″. The wrap I have is white eyelet and trimmed in a soft satin and is ideal for newborn and up, it makes a great lightweight blanket for cool night or for a stroller blanket.
The blankets come in various colors and patterns and price ranges. They have handmade limited edition blankets and affordable two packs. Check out their “how to swaddle page” for a refresher course on swaddling your baby. I know I needed this because although my husband swaddles like a pro, I didn’t retain that skill.
I have tried many blankets and swaddle wraps in my days as a mother and this one by far has been my favorite. I would recommend these wraps to any new mother.
