Some nights, no matter how hard I try, I just can not get comfortable. No matter how many times I fluff my pillow, adjust my blankets and shift positions, I’m not feeling relaxed and ready for sleep. Surely any adult is able to relate to this scenario at one time or another (but hopefully not too often!). Now, imagine being a newborn, fresh out of the womb and feeling particularly frustrated that mom’s loving touch is no longer available 24/7 (yes, even the most dedicated of moms must sleep sometimes!). If you’ve been “blessed” with an especially fussy baby, trying to find a way to soothe your little one can be an exhausting experience. For those who have tried swaddling without much success, we beg you to reconsider and check out the Zen Swaddle. Sure, we’ve seen plenty of beautifully crafted, 100-percent cotton wraps before. But this isn’t your ordinary swaddling blanket; it’s designed to be weighted in certain areas to mimic the feeling of being cradled. Concerned that the extra weight may pose problems? Not to worry; the special fillings are non-toxic and this product has undergone standard safety tests, which all adds up to an A+ for your baby’s comfort level and your peace of mind.  The Zen Swaddle is designed for babies 7-14 lbs. Wish there was an adult-sized version for this frazzled mom (sigh…).

In a Nutshell: Finally…a swaddling blanket that takes its job seriously. Just like you do.

Swaddling my daughters was something I never did quite right. While I consulted the Web and tried to follow instructions on how to create a ‘baby burrito’, it just didn’t seem to be working…seeing how they were still crying! TrueWomb is one product that aims to banish that insecurity for new moms by making swaddling as easy as 1-2-3. This sleep system is made up of different parts: the SwaddleTech Pouch, which lets a baby’s legs assume a fetal position when they’re at rest; a SecureSleeve that keeps her arms in place; and a ComfortWrap belt to keep her completely secure. Note: TrueWomb may take some getting used to, but before you know it, you’ll feel like you could swaddle your baby in your sleep. And with fewer tears and better sleep, that means more shuteye for you, too.

In a Nutshell: Swaddling your baby getting you all tied up in knots? Take a deep breath and start over with the TrueWomb system, available in four different sizes.
