Let’s face it, it’s hard being a new mom and figuring out this whole new chapter in your life, especially figuring out how to get some sleep that you so desperately need. Well, there’s definitely a way to help your baby (and yourself!) to get a few extra zzz’s thanks to Swaddle Designs! Seriously, I am obsessed with the following products so of course I only share my absolute favorite products with you all! Swaddle Designs specializes in making your baby feel secure and cozy- hence the cute name! Their site is filled with the cutest muslin blankets, swaddle sacks, baby gifts, and so much more. Recently I got the opportunity to try out a couple of their products and I’m so excited to share them with you today because they have really made the difference in helping my little one sleep so much better and a quite a bit longer!
Their Muslin Blankets are a Must!
One big thing Swaddle Designs is know for are their adorable, functional muslin blankets. Before I had my baby, I didn’t really know how important it was for babies to be tightly swaddled so that they can feel secure and safe in the new outside world that they are experiencing! I have this adorable Water Colored Ice Cream Marquisette Swaddle and I’m in love with the pattern and amazing quality of it! This adorable blanket is only $15!
Muslin Blankets are Super Versatile
There are many ways Swaddle Design’s muslin blankets are so useful!
Keeps baby feeling secure.Newborns need to feel that sense of comfort that’s similar to being tightly bundled up in the womb. Being nice and secure also helps babies not have the startle reflex that typically jolts them awake. Not sure exactly how to properly swaddle an infant? Thankfully Swaddle Designs’ blankets come with a super simple instruction tag that helps even the most clueless parents to correctly swaddle their little one! I honestly had no idea how to swaddle a newborn until I had my own!
Super Breathable.Made with 100% cotton, these extremely lightweight swaddles are perfect to swaddle baby in on warm summer nights
Generously Sized.This muslin blanket is 46×46 inches which makes it nice because it can be used throughout your baby first year or more as a nice light blanket to cuddle with. I also like the extra fabric because it keeps baby feeling nice and warm!C
Multiple Uses. These super breathable blankets can be used in so many ways like as a car seat/stroller cover, nursing cover, burp cloth, make-shift shade, comfort blanket, and a play/changing mat!
I’ve been using my blanket non stop because it’s just the perfect material and oh, so cute!!! I don’t swaddle my baby anymore now that she’s 3 months old, but I do use it as a blanket for her when I carry her around and as a play mat! I also love draping it over my baby and tucking it into the sides of my chest carrier when I go out and about as well! I get so many compliments when I take baby out with the adorable ice cream cone design.

Transitional Sleep Sacks
It’s true (trust me), one of the biggest problems that new parents face is sleep deprivations and exhaustion. Thankfully Swaddle Designs has three different kinds of sleep swaddles that are designed to help your newborn have amazing sleep as he or she grows.
My baby has been sleeping in the Stage One Omni Swaddle Sack because she just turned three months and has been using it for about a month so far. Since using this genius sleep sack, my baby girl has been sleeping wonderful through the night. The sleep sack is designed to be a multi-use and offers the most flexibility at this stage of my baby’s life!
These are the ways you can swaddle up your baby in this amazing sleep sack:
Arms Up
Arms up is the best for babies that don’t like to be swaddled or have started to roll over. My baby will be rolling over any day now so it’s only a matter of time before my baby will be sleeping this way.
Hands Uncovered
The Omni Swaddle Sack is so versatile! I love that there is an option for all sleep positions including having baby’s cute little hands free during the night if they prefer. Have your little one’s hands out also can help them self soothe which in return helps them sleep a little longer!
Closed Cuffs
Does baby claw their face or it it too cold to have their little hand exposed? Swaddle Designs has thought of all the possibilities and put foldable mittens on this incredible sleep sack!
Arms on Chest
My baby hasn’t started rolling over so this is her favorite way to sleep right now! It keeps her feeling safe and secure at night which helps with her sleep longer.
These swaddles are seriously a saving grace for tired mamas! I absolutely love everything about Swaddle Designs and applaud them for creating such useful, comforting baby wear. I highly suggest trying one of these out because they will definitely improve your baby’s sleep, and your’s too!!
