CLOSED Winner: Comment #32, Andrea
Want to help your newborn transition from the womb to the world? Next to babywearing, Aden + Anais Bamboo Muslin Swaddles are a new Mama's saving grace!
Why swaddle? Swaddling’s ability to soothe and calm babies has been known to mothers around the world for countless generations. In 2002, the medical journal Pediatrics published a study that explained why babies who are swaddled sleep more peacefully by preventing spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) from waking them up continually during the night. The same year, the Journal of Applied Physiology wrote that swaddled infants stay in REM sleep (the most restorative, deepest sleep) longer than those who were not swaddled. Thanks to the generous size of these versatile blankets (47” X 47”), they also
function as a stroller or nursing cover, changing pad cover, burp cloth, tummy time blanket and more.
Giveaway #5 is a 3 pack of Aden + Anais Bamboo Muslin Swaddles in your choice of prints from our in-stock selection. To enter, leave a comment below telling us what helped to soothe and comfort your newborn. Good luck and thank you for sharing our 5th Birthday celebration with us! --Gina

With Connor, every time he was fussy or upset we would take him outside. I don't know what it was about being outdoors, even 8 months later, it's the only thing that seems to calm him.
ReplyDeleteI so loved these with our LO. Perfect for summer in San Antonio :) - Anna CohenMiller
ReplyDeleteI think the boob wins, hands down, as the best soother and comforter for all 4 of my children, hehe! :)
ReplyDeleteSwaddling by far was best for my kids
ReplyDeleteSwaddling, skin to skin, vibrations and her white noise machine all helped to soothe and comfort my daughter when she was a newborn

ReplyDeleteNursing, swaddling, white noise, baby wraps..
ReplyDeleterocking and being close to mommy
ReplyDeleteBeing swaddled and nursing would calm her. LOVE THESE BLANKETS!
ReplyDeleterocking! either from being in the carrier and me rocking her or from the swing. she still loves to be snuggled in with a blanket and be rocked.
ReplyDeleteI can't say what has worked as I am 36 weeks with my first, but I plan to breastfeed, swaddle, lots of skin to skin, and going for easy rides in the Atv as he's experienced throughout pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteMy first one I would have to stand with him to calm him and keep him in just a diaper. With my second, swaddling him up and holding him close.
ReplyDeleteHolding him helped and when he slept, the Miracle Blanket.

ReplyDeleteMy babe is all about the boob!
ReplyDeleteoops sorry my name didnt show up!!
DeleteWe swaddled and used a pacifier with my little guy! When he was 2 months I tried not swaddling him, but one night I watched him sleep and observed him doing his startle reflex in his sleep, so I started swaddling him again and then he slept through the night.
ReplyDeleteI always soothed my newborn by breastfeeding him :) he's not breastfeed anymore but to this day he still comes to them to feel more secure
ReplyDeleteSwaddling is the best!! That was the easiest way to get my little to sleep! also babywearing was essential for us!!
ReplyDeleteBreastfeeding and swaddling!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a mom yet, but I am expecting! I have heard swaddling a newborn baby helps soothe them. Also, taking them for short walks outside (weather permitting). :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteoh me! Pick me! :-) my kiddos loves being swaddled for the first 3 months if their lives. :-D
ReplyDeleteSwaddling, vibrating, wearing him in his Moby, and what I call "shimmy shake-head bobble" maneuver! These days at 3.5 months if all else fails its his Moby. :)
ReplyDeleteSwaddling was def a big help for my youngest.

ReplyDeleteGoing outside always calms my little guy. Fresh air makes everything better!!
ReplyDeleteSwaddled or on mommy!!! Also a good dose of Veggie Tales for some reason always calmed my daughter down...these swaddles would be awesome for our new one arriving late March!!!
ReplyDeleteNursing and cuddles
ReplyDeleteWe used swaddling and cuddling or baby wearing with both plus a pacifier with #1 and nursing with #2. These blankets would be great for a summer baby.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what my little girl will enjoy. I do plan to breastfeed, skin to skin, and swaddle. Let the adventure begin...
ReplyDeleteSwaddling helps sooth our newborn, also rocking and boob time depending on her mood.
ReplyDeleteNursing always wins here :)
ReplyDeleteBabywearing and swaddling helped when our youngest was a newborn. He's 9.5 months now and still loves both!
ReplyDeleteMy babies were almost 9 pounds, so swaddling was difficult! We opted for nursing!
ReplyDeleteNursing comforts mine and holding her close.
ReplyDeleteswaddling works wonders klind186 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteMy baby is pretty easy and doesn't need much but the first few nights these blankets helped me as I had one in each room and since they are so big I could use them to cover both of us.
ReplyDeleteWhen Isaiah is fussy I just hold him tight and rock him until he calms down
ReplyDeleteDr. Harvey Karp's 5 S's: sway, shush, swaddle, suck and side-lying--helped us alot!
ReplyDeleteMy newborn loved the static from a radio, or a shushing sound, along with nursing, and swaddled up in her muslin blanket.
ReplyDeletebreastfeeding and snuggles
ReplyDeleteMy babies both slept through the night 6+ hrs (in our room in a bassinet near our bed) at 8 weeks! Nursing in the night was soothing and made me tired too!
ReplyDeleteangela_heffner at yahoo dot com
also we swaddled them both until they could break free. I am having another baby in April and would love to try these swaddle blankets!
My dd had to have her pacifier...if she wasn't BFing! :-)
