Most parents are familiar with the benefits of swaddling their newborns, either from Dr. Harvey Karp’s The Happiest Baby on the Block or from the nurses in the maternity ward.  However, there are some parents that I’ve talked to whose baby breaks the swaddle immediately, regardless of how tight it’s pulled together, or there are some parents who just can’t master the fine art of swaddling.  For those parents, I would highly recommend purchasing the Snug and Tug Swaddle Blanket from My Precious Kid. 

The Snug and Tug Swaddle Blanket is virtually fool proof.  To swaddle your baby, you place the baby in the pouch in the middle of the blanket.  Then, you pull over the side and tuck it into the opening on the side of the pocket (similar to how a kimono closes).  Everything closes with large, strong velcro patches.  Even with a squirming baby, it’s relatively easy to use, and easy to explain to a caregiver or grandparent who is watching your baby.

The Snug and Tug Swaddle Blanket is available in two different sizes, and is made of cotton.  Be prepared for spit ups and purchase two so you’ll always have one on hand.  You can find the Snug and Tug Swaddle Blanket at http://www.mypreciouskid.com/.
