A recent conversation with a new mommy reminded me of my love for the Swaddle Designs Ultimate Receiving Blanket. I bought two of these before Arle was born, simply because I thought they were cute (I bought this print and this one). Honestly, I had no clue how important swaddling was for newborns or what a lifesaver it would be for me as a new mom. I soon found out that Arle loved to be snug as a bug in her oh-so-soft blankies. Out of all the blankets we had, these were the two we always preferred to use, as they were larger than the rest and swaddled much more efficiently. The fabric is a super soft flannel that basically “sticks” to itself and, therefore, doesn’t come undone.
If you’re expecting a little one or needing to purchase a gift for someone, you can’t go wrong with these fabulous blankets. They have lots of new prints and even a line of organics for all of you “green” moms out there.

This Nana was very impressed with them, too. Arle was born June 15, and a lot of
folks would have probably thought it was too warm to swaddle a baby, but the fact is it mimics the close quarters of the womb and makes them feel very secure.

I sent this to my mom and we will be making a purchase! I see Arle’s birthday is June 15, mine is June 16!!!
