A Swaddler's Dream (& a GIVEAWAY!!)

Emily loves to be swaddled...just like most babies do! Tate loved it as well...and he actually had a bit of a rough time sleeping for the first few nights after we stopped swaddling him! He really liked it! I remember when I first started to swaddle Tate, it took me a while to get it right...you know, like getting their arms in right, and wrapping it all up nicely and securely...and even then he would wiggle out and wake up at night! With Emily, I've had some swaddling experience ;) so I'm much faster and better at it this time around...BUT I found the perfect swaddling blanket!! It's from Stowers Swadlers & Stationary and it's called the Stowers Swadler! I love it. :) Oh and it's pink too...so we can add another thing to our growing collection of pink items! haha. Anyways, it is SO easy to swaddle with the Stowers Swadler...mainly because it is meant especially for swaddling! There are three steps to wrapping them up and the two sides of the blanket are velcroed together behind your babies back...so it is nice and secure and your baby will feel all nice and snuggly in it. It is soooo soft too...made of 100% organic cotton! It really is soft...the softest blanket Emily owns I think!!


As you may have noticed the name of their store is Stowers Swaddlers & STATIONARY. So, they also make and sell the CUTEST stationary/cards ever. We got some footprint cards for Emily and they are just adorable! And they're all handmade too. I love handmade stuff. I find that handmade stuff often is the best kind of stuff...and their cards are no exception. :)

WIN IT!
Stowers Swadlers & Stationary has generously offered to give away a Swaddler blanket in either blue, pink or yellow to one of you! Trust me, you'll love the blanket...or if you aren't planning on having a newborn around anytime soon, I'm sure you know someone who has one...or will be having one. :)

I love the swaddling blanket the best, but I love all the fabrics and can't decide which one I like best! Maybe "on the farm" or "happy frog" or the sports one. Someone made one like this for my younger brother 17 years ago and I keep thinking about trying to make my own...or winning one would be great too!

I'm loving their swaddle blankets. Our little girl loved hers and I'm sure #2 will as well! I love how it's actually big enough to do the job, too!

Kathleen @ Katydid & Kid said...

The lucky duck deluxe gift basket is cute...but I really like and could use the swaddle blanket. Thanks for sharing!

Andrea said...

I like the onesies that you can have personalized for your baby. With their name!!! Very cute.

I'd probably get the pink for my friend who swaddles all the time. Or the yellow in case I were to keep it when we had another baby - you never know if you're going to have a boy or girl. No ultrasounds here. =) Well maybe!!!!

I'm also a huge fan of the swaddling blanket - my daughter was swaddled for months (and wouldn't sleep unless she was), and this blanket would make life so much easier with #2!!
