It used to drive me crazy when my son was a newborn that I couldnโ€™t learn how to swaddle properly with a swaddling blanket. My husband could. In fact, everybody else could. Why wasnโ€™t this genius product around then? I could have looked like a swaddling superstar!


Whatโ€™s cool about TrueWomb
is that it not only secures your baby into the fetal position, which is how they feel most comfortable at that age, but is also made with
stretchy, breathable, cotton, so that babies can extend their bodies
and move their arms around when they want toโ€“unlike the traditional baby burritos.

The arms pop into sleeves and the body fits into the bottom part
thatโ€™s kind of like a pocket. Then everything seals up with Velcro. (Watch the instructional video which is pretty clear.)

You
can get TrueWomb swaddlers in sizes ranging from preemies through 6-9 months, including an an arms-free โ€œweaningโ€ swaddleโ€“but I donโ€™t imagine most kids wanting to be
contained at that age so stick with the younger sizes. If youโ€™re swaddling challenged like I was, this is a great way to keep that fact under wraps. Ha. -Betsy

You can buy the swaddling blanket from TrueWomb.com for $39.99.

  1. Iโ€™m at a weird stage (heโ€™s 4.5 months and very big/strong)โ€ฆ he hollers and wriggles and canโ€™t sleep if I leave an arm out to try and wean him but if I swaddle him he gets an arm out eventually and wakes himself up! Iโ€™m not sure if I try a different swaddle (we are currently using the Halo Sleep Sack because the Miracle Blanket is too small) or if I just give it up over a very painful week of no sleeping.

    Any advice about that?! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. I actually could have used a โ€œweaning swaddlerโ€ โ€“ my littlest wanted to be swaddled until he was almost ONE! I think itโ€™s genius.
