SWADDLING
SWADDLING
Sleep Sack or Swaddle Blanket
Which one is better? The answer to the question might be both or neither. When it comes to being a good parent, it’s helpful to remember that all babies are different, and when it comes to swaddling, the debates can be even more intense. New parents often ask what the difference is between using a sleep sack vs. a swaddle.
Ollie Swaddle
The bottom of this swaddle is left open so you can adjust the length of it by using an elastic tie below your baby’s feet. It’s perfect for longer newborns and can be adjusted as your baby grows. It also offers easy access for diaper changes. The bonus? The fabric is extra soft and moisture wicking, ensuring your baby doesn’t get overheated.
Woombie Original Baby Swaddle
Consider the Woombie your one-zip trick for getting everyone a better night’s sleep. Parents appreciate the simplicity—there’s no Velcro, flaps or extra fabric to deal with. And lots of babies love having the freedom to naturally move their arms and legs around, while still feeling safe and comforted. They spend less time trying to be an escape artist and more time getting ZZZs.
Love to Dream Swaddle UP Original
Lots of babies actually prefer to keep their arms up (“raise the roof” style) rather than tucked down at their sides or chest. The Love to Dream creates a secure space, while allowing newborns to position their arms upward. This is a great choice for babies who don’t like traditional swaddles, but still need their startle reflex calmed. Parents also love the ease of the zipper and hip-friendly leg positioning.
Summer SwaddleMe Original Swaddle
The SwaddleMe Original is a simple pouch with fabric wings that’ll remind your kiddo of the good old days in the womb. And because they come in a super-affordable 3-pack, you’ll always have a trusty backup ready to go when you need it (and you will need it!).
