We are hooked on sleep bags at our house. I don’t feel like my baby is properly dressed at night without one. As the weather gets warmer, out trusty dusty Carter’s and Passport bags are getting too warm. Aden and Anais has a great reputation for its blankets and swaddlers, so when I saw that they make a lightweight muslin sleep bag, I had to know more. I discovered they make all kinds of fun prints (not surprising I guess, given their reputation and popularity with celebrity families). There are some great feminine prints, but my favorite is this gold fish print which is perfect for either a boy or girl. You can purchase one from the company’s Web site (adenandanais.com) for $29.95. I saw some cheaper prices online, but those stories had a more limited selection of prints. I know this is on our short list of things to buy this summer.

Sometimes it’s difficult to understand that an infant would want to be bundled up in a swaddling blanket.But swaddling provides warmth and security for an infant. It can keep him from being disturbed by his own startle reflex. He just needs to feel something close to the tightness and security of the womb. If your an expectant mom, go online for instructions on swaddling or purchase a book on this ancient art.

These muslin swaddling wraps by Aden+Anais have stretch and breathability to help keep baby from becoming overheated. They are available in a variety of colors and patterns, and cost $44.00 per pack of 4 @ AdenAndAnais.com.
