This Baby Wrap Shirt by L’ovedbaby is designed especially for newborns. The 100% cotton shirt has a wrap- around design that makes it easy to dress baby. You don’t have to pull the shirt over baby’s head, which is very delicate. Pulling a shirt over a baby’s head reminds them of the birthing process, experts say, and they get a little stressed. You’ve probably noticed this phenomenon if you’ve tried to dress a newborn. Also, the cropped bottom allows for the baby’s belly button to heal more quickly. The shirt also has fold over sleeves for added warmth and protection from self-scratching. Purchase a few for your hospital bag or have it gift wrapped for the baby shower.

Visit BabyAnt.com, where this item is priced at just $9.99 and is available in Newborn (Preemie), 0-3mos, and 3-6mos. You can choose from “Out On The Town Brown” (shown above) or “Bright White”.

The Arms-Free Swaddle by L’ovedbaby is a swaddle blanket for that “transitional” period when baby still needs to be secured and feel secure but he is beginning to interact more and more with his environment. My two month old niece is already rolling over on her stomach and doing the “inch-worm” technique - almost right off the bed. It’s a delicate balance between keeping your little ones safe and allowing them to explore.

You can have a happy medium with this Arms-Free Swaddle by L’ovedbaby. It gently swaddles baby’s tummy and legs, leaving covered arms free to move but with fold over gloved sleeves for added warmth and protection. Another feature is a self-attach strap on back for a secure stay-in-place fit each time. This Swaddle would be ideal for use in a stroller when you don’t need a bulky blanket but your “infant” still needs a little extra covering up. And with their little feet tucked into the swaddle blanket you won’t have to worry about missing booties or socks.

The Arms-Free Swaddle by L’ovedbaby comes in one size: 3-6 months (or until baby can roll over), and comes in Bright White, Think Pink, or True Blue. It also comes in your choice of fabrics: velour or cotton.
