Organic Woombie, foolproof swaddle.

by Valerie on February 17, 2012

With all 3 of our kids, we tried swaddling—though not always successfully. We used the Miracle Blanket for our daughter Sophie and loved it (but even then, she escaped occasionally). So I’m happy to announce I just discovered a new, foolproof way to swaddle a baby: the Woombie. Invented by a mom and RN, it’s the perfect solution for keeping baby swaddled all night long. With its easy, stay-put zipper and its unique, 4-way stretch material, the Woombie looks like a must-have for new parents. Plus they have anorganic Woombie. Check out their website at Woombie.
