With our second baby I am determined to come up with a better way to successfully swaddle him/her! With Kaelyn it didn't matter how hard I tried...it seemed that she always came loose. I couldn't figure out a good solution to this problem. After some searching recently, I came across the Woombie and boy do I wish I had one of these with Kaelyn!!
When Mom and RN, Karen Barski, got frustrated with the swaddling options available, she began looking for a better solution. After much research and months of prototyping, the Woombie was born! It is one of the safest and most natural ways to swaddle your baby...helping him/her to transition easily from the womb to the world. Although softly confined, it is made to allow baby to gently stretch extremities much like in the womb. It helps to comfort and allows for a better nights sleep for both you and your little one! It also helps to prevent face scratching, overheating due to over-wrapping, and loose blankets covering the baby's face.
We were sent an Original Woombie to review for our baby due this Fall. The moment I opened the package I was very impressed! It's very soft and lightweight, made of a cotton/lycra blend. I love how stretchy the fabric is as well. I was also impressed with the zipper because it zipped from top to bottom so you're not having to zip toward the baby's face. The shape was also great, as it's specifically designed to fit your baby's shoulder, waist and hip contours just perfectly. What's also neat about this product is that it comes in 5 different sizes Preemie 3-6 lbs, Newborn Short 5-12 lbs, Newborn 5-13 lbs, Big Baby 4-18lbs, MEGA Baby 18-25 lbs...so you're sure to find one that suits your needs best.
Although I obviously can't try it out with our baby yet, I can tell it will be very easy to use! I'm really looking forward to being able to use it with our little one when he/she arrives! In fact, I'm thinking I may need several of these on hand. With a baby there's always lots of laundry to do...and I know I will want many to ensure that there is always one clean to use! I think the Woombie would also make a fantastic baby gift!
