Simplify Swaddling with the Poshest Baby Blanket Around: Babybonkie Swaddle Blanket Review & Giveaway!
Thursday, June 18, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
Until Lucas was born, I didn't really "get" the whole swaddling thing. I didn't really understand why parents wrapped their babies up like burritos. Just seemed odd to me. When Lucas was born though, I quickly realized that swaddling is the key to sleeping. If you value sleep, you will swaddle your baby. Seriously. It's like magic. Newborn babies like to feel warm and protected like they felt in their mother's womb. Swaddling gives them with that. So when Babybonkie asked me to review their stunning swaddling blankets, I immediately said YES-right after I lifted my jaw up off the floor!Babybonkie swaddle blankets are designed to help infants stay wrapped up through the night allowing more uninterrupted sleep. The innovative design makes swaddling simple thanks to its unique shape and Velcro closures.
Here's the thing though-Babybonkie swaddle blankets are not your run-of-the-mill swaddling blanket. These are the ultimate in luxury and style! Babybonkie swaddling blankets are made from gorgeous fabrics that are unbelievably posh and soft. Babybonkie sent me two swaddling blankets to review and truly they are so gorgeous-it's actually unbelievable they are made for babies! Check out a few examples!
However, don't be fooled by their beauty. Babybonkie swaddling blankets are designed to be practical and easy to use. Swaddling is much easier with a Babybonkie!
How To Use:
Step 1: Place the Babybonkie on a flat surface. Lay your baby so that his/her legs are in the enclosed circular bottom portion.
Step 2: Starting with left flap, fold over and fasten with Velcro tabs.
Step 3: Now fold right flap and fasten with Velcro tabs.
For the hip, ecofriendly momma, there is also the Ecobonkie, which is made from 100% certified organic cotton. At Babybonkie, you'll also find beautiful sleep sacks and blankets are coming soon. For the ultimate baby shower gift, you should definitely check out Babybonkie! You'll be giving mom the gift of fashion, luxury, and best of all...sleep.
Want It: The Babybonkie swaddle blanket retails for $60 and can be purchased online or at various fine retailers across the country.
This contest is closed. Congratulations to the winner, blueviolet! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to contact me.
