SwaddleDesigns was founded by Lynette Damir, a registered nurse and mother of two young children. While visiting families with new babies, Lynette found that parents struggled with swaddling because they didn’t have the right kind of blanket (most were too small or too thick) and they could not remember how to make a good secure swaddle. Lynette wanted to share her knowledge of proper swaddling because she understood that parents needed help when trying to learn how to swaddle. Lynette designed The Ultimate Receiving Blanket® with 123 Swaddle® instructional tag sewn to its edge. Lynette’s blanket has helped hundreds of thousands of new parents learn how to swaddle to calm and comfort their newborns.

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is also known as the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket®. It is recommended by doctors, nurses, doulas and parent educators. SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets are a favorite new baby gift and cherished by new parents. New moms fall in love with SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets because of the quality, colors, and style – and because new parents feel wonderful when they can calm and comfort their newborn.

Babies love the soft texture of cotton flannel. Hospitals throughout the USA use cotton flannel blankets to wrap newborn babies. Cotton flannel is the best choice for newborns because cotton flannel is durable, breathable, natural, and safe for baby. However, babies quickly outgrow the size used at the hospital. Babies sleep better swaddled in SwaddleDesigns premium ultra-soft cotton flannel blanket. Moms quickly learn that a secure and cozy swaddling wrap will comfort and calm their newborns. Numerous medical studies have proven that Swaddled Babies Sleep Better®.

Lynette’s passion for helping new parents combined with her design background enabled her to develop the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket with its patent pending innovation. When she designed her award winning product in 2002, many people did not know what the word swaddling meant. Since that time, Lynette has received recognition for helping to build the awareness of the many benefits of swaddling. The SwaddleDesigns blanket is truly a great value and keepsake that will be used and treasured for years.

While there are many swaddlers and swaddling wraps on the market today, SwaddleDesigns is regarded as the gold standard in swaddling blankets. SwaddleDesigns blankets are made from premium preshrunk cotton flannel which are lightweight and breathable. Our flannel and marquisette meet Oeko Tex Standard 100 which mean no harmful chemicals next to baby’s delicate skin.

Every baby born in a US hospital is wrapped in a flannel receiving blanket. Babies are unable to regulate their temperature and it is important that baby is kept warm, but not too warm. Hospitals trust and use cotton flannel for swaddling newborns. Many hospitals use SwaddleDesigns blankets to teach swaddling to their new parents and give their new parents an Ultimate Receiving Blanket as a new parent gift.

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket has become a favorite swaddler, recommended by doctors, nurses, doulas and parent educators. It is a favorite new baby gift and cherished by new mothers and fathers because it helps new parents learn to swaddle. Thousands of moms and dads have written testimonials sharing their experience and how SwaddleDesigns has become the favorite blanket.

Many medical experts recommend a sleep environment of 65-70 degrees F or 20 degrees C. The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is an appropriate weight for this temperature range. Because every baby is unique and because no blanket can naturally regulate a baby’s temperature, it is important for caregivers to dress their baby according to the ambient temperature of the room. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends dressing the baby in one more layer than you are wearing to be comfortable in the same environment. It’s important not to overdress or under dress a baby for sleep. Signs of overheating include sweaty back or neck, damp hair, rapid breathing or heat rash. If baby feels sweaty, remove a layer of clothing. Sometimes baby’s hands or feet feel cool due to their immature blood circulation which is considered okay as long as their chest, tummy and back are warm, not sweaty or cool. Parents are recommended to dress baby according to the temperature and remove a layer if the baby is sweaty. It is important for parents to understand that there are no evidence-based studies that prove a blanket can naturally regulate a baby’s temperature. For more information, please see Swaddle Tips.

SwaddleDesigns offers the Marquisette Swaddling Blanket™ for swaddling in warm climates and warmer environments. SwaddleDesigns Marquisette Swaddling Blanket is made from premium preshrunk cotton in a very lightweight open weave design. Marquisette is similar to muslin except it is much softer due to finer threads and higher thread count. SwaddleDesigns offers the finest, highest quality lightweight swaddling cloths on the market.

How to wean from swaddling: We recommend swaddling for the first 3-4 months. To help baby transition from swaddling, swaddle baby with one arm out of the swaddle for a few nights. When baby has adjusted to this change, try swaddling with both arms out. A baby who is able to roll over should not have their arms inside a swaddle.

When it’s time for baby to graduate from swaddling, SwaddleDesigns offers the zzZipMe Sack™ wearable blanket. SwaddleDesigns zzZipMe Sack has a clever 2-way zipper that zips from the bottom-up allowing for diaper changes while keeping baby warm and cozy, and it zips from the top-down making it easy to place baby or remove baby from the super-soft wearable blanket with satin trim. SwaddleDesigns has a pending patent on this innovative design.
