Best Swaddling Blankets

What is swaddling? It's simple enough. It's basically a way of wrapping your baby in a blanket that creates a tight and snug fit. It keeps arms and legs from squirming while your baby sleeps and gives them a secure feeling. When done correctly, a swaddled baby sleeps better at night, which means the parents get more sleep too! Swaddling also reduces the risk of SIDS, so it is important for every parent to learn.

If you don't know how to swaddle, I'll help you out. It's not too tough. Fortunately, there are tons of tutorials on the internet. And some of the blankets have directions right on them, like SwaddleDesigns blankets. You can buy a swaddle blanket from SwaddleDesigns or other great companies by clicking here.

I believe that one of the best lines of swaddling blankets available today are aden and anais blankets. These blankets are made large, 47 x 47 inches, so they give you plenty of room to wrap your baby. They are often made with muslin cotton, which is a very breathable fabric. Because the fabric breathes easily, your baby won't overheat and wake up during the night. Their are different blanket stores selling these blankets online. The best deal I've found is on the aden and anais 4 pack. You can get them here for $38.95 with flat rate shipping.

If you are looking for a good swaddling baby blanket, there are other options as well. The Miracle Blanket is very popular and has gotten great reviews. Another lesser known swaddle blanket is the the Snug & Tug, which is a creative design to make it easy on parents to swaddle. You can find them both by shopping here.
