This
week it's all about "Swaddling
blankets" (max budget £12.49). I
thought it is more of an old- fashioned trend to swaddle baby,
apparently not as there are lots of swaddling blankets online. Would
you recommend swaddling and did you do it?

There's a lovely selection here. Well picked. I use blankets, as the jury is still out for me on tight swaddling but I get that baby feels very secure #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteI LOVE swaddling, and so did my babies! in fact I bought my step daughter a "baby wrapping" book when she had her baby in Feb. So glad it's coming back into fashion, babies hate hanging their limbs and love the security of swaddling - many might sleep better this way!
ReplyDeleteI didn't use swaddling blankets but did use blankets to swaddle for a couple of weeks. It then got too hot and my little man preferred to have his arms free! #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteI totally swaddled my boy when he was a baby, it's something so comforting and secure for babies!
ReplyDeletei have seen these and love the idea but i find a good ole muslin blanket works just as good , great post x
ReplyDeleteGreat round up, My BritMums sponsor Puckababy also make swaddling wrappers x
ReplyDeleteI swaddled both of mine when they were small, We used a large muslin
ReplyDeleteWe never used a swaddle, Tyler wasn't keen #binkylinky
ReplyDeletei always used a muslin too, but swaddling is great
ReplyDeleteI didn't swaddle any of mine, they were little kickers - but it does look very snuggly!
ReplyDeleteWe swaddled both of ours but were told that it isn't recommended now when we had my daughter. I think some babies love it and some don't - it just depends on what your baby likes!
ReplyDeleteI didn't use specific swaddling blankets, but I did keep Lucas wrapped up nice and snug. Now he just kicks every blanket off, absolutely hates them!

I swaddled all three of our babies. They loved it - found it very cosy. I just used a swaddling blanket.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of swaddling. We had a couple of gorgeous swaddle blankets too but POD never stayed still long enough. These look lovely and snug :)
ReplyDeleteWhen my baby was born it is awfully awfully hot in my country so much as I want to use this I cant. He lives in sando (vest) in my country. But you have such lovely choices =) #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteWe used the gro swaddles. I also bought a summer infant swaddle but it didn't get used, although I can't quite remember why now.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were in hospital they asked if a student midwife could practice swaddling my baby, yet when we got home and I had her swaddled, my community midwife was all 'nooo don't swaddle a baby, they overheat and it hurts their hips'. You don't know what to do for the best at times! As it is I think we only swaddled her for about four weeks then went onto blankets, then just a sleeping bag x
Some really well priced things there - thanks for sharing. It's amazing how swaddling can settle a baby x x
ReplyDeleteOur twins are 2 and I still swaddle them loosely in the day to help them nod off! Thanks for linking up to the #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteI swaddled my youngest and she was always very happy, but I'm not sure if that was because of the blanket or if it was her natural personality!
ReplyDeleteThese look a great idea. I didn't swaddle my children only because they used to kick the blankets off lol
ReplyDeleteI tried to swaddle mine but they just like to kick and wriggle about. I know other babies that love to be swaddled though!
ReplyDeleteI swaddled mine with a blanket. They wouldn't sleep if they weren't nicely wrapped!
ReplyDeleteWhen a baby born at first its needs a blanket. A special blanket is suitable for a baby. This post contains six blankest list. I think that Swaddle Me Cotton Knit Animal Print Small/Medium is best for everyone. Because it is cheap.
