I never swaddled my first son, mostly because I  could never get the swaddle right and didn't have a real swaddling blanket. I had often read that swaddling was great for getting newborns to sleep so I was thrilled when SwaddleDesigns agreed to participate in my Newborn Event. The first time I decided to try the marquisette swaddling blanket was at midnight. My son was  less than a week old and I had been trying for 3 hours to get him to go to sleep for the night. I nursed him and he would fall asleep, I would put him in his bassinet and 10 minutes later he would be awake again. I did this for 3 hours and finally decided to give swaddling a try. It took a couple of tries to get it tight enough but the next time he fell asleep, he slept for 5 straight hours! My little Angry Bird! I have used it most nights now and it works fantastically. I love how light and airy it is. It has  been an extremely hot and humid summer so far around here and I like that I can swaddle my son without having to worry about him overheating. I have been swaddling him in just an  undershirt or light pj's and he has been perfectly warm and content. The marquisette material  is so soft, I wish I had sheets made out of it for myself! My favorite feature is the tag instructions sewn right on the blanket. It really came in handy at midnight the first night. I had no idea how to swaddle and it was great to read their 1-2-3  instructions. Such a great idea, no need to search around when you have a crying baby in your arms. The short sleeve body suit is really cute and seems to be high quality. The one I received is size 6 to 12 months however and it fits my 1.5 week-old well now. He was 8 lbs 14 oz at  birth and is a little heavier than that now but by 6 months I'm sure the body suit will not fit  him. It is also $15.00 for one which I find quite expensive for a onesie. The Marquisette swaddling blanket is only $20.00 however and I think that is a great price for what you get. The blanket is so light, airy and soft. The instructions are always available and it really helps my son sleep better. I so wish I would have had one when my first son was born. I would like to have two right now as my son often leaks out of his diapers or  spits up on it. If I had another I could swaddle every night. I will definitely be buying SwaddleDesigns Marquisette blankets as baby shower gifts for friends in the future. It is a newborn must-have! {Buy It} Marquisette Swaddling Blanket --- $20.00 Short Sleeve Body Suit --- $15.00 {Connect} Facebook Twitter Newsletter
