I can’t imagine how a woman feels the first time she is told she will soon be a mother. It must be such a joyous and kinda intimidating occasion. As all the movies in Hollywood warn us, “No one is ever ready to be a parent.” That’s super comforting, right? Well, I can’t give any life altering advice on the baby topic, but I can tell you about a cool product that countless mothers swear by. The Swaddle. Look at this peaceful baby we saw on House Call MD. Seems like a new mothers dream to me.
When I decided to write this blog, I knew it would be a little bit challenging because I am not a mother… nor do I claim to have any expertise in this area. Luckily, I work with three mothers who have a plethora of knowledge. I know swaddles are one of our most popular baby shower gifts, but what makes them so fantastic? So, I asked Sandra about the swaddles and she gave quite the list! I was amazed at how many wonderful uses a mommy can get out of a swaddle. It’s great for an easy cover up while breast-feeding, an on-the-go blanket, or a burping towel in a pinch. She also mentioned that the swaddles get softer with each wash! The traditional use of a swaddle mimics the cozy feeling of a mother’s womb. Check out the tutorial below to see how to use a swaddle from Treasured Heirlooms to give your baby the comfort he or she craves.
On a slightly more comical note, Inmate Tease has a hilarious line of baby body suits. With tag lines like Underage Drinking, Illegal Dumping and Resisting Arrest, they are sure to get a laugh from everyone.

Might as well get a laugh out of your kids clothes while you can!
