A swaddling blanket for the swaddle-impaired
I remember wrangling that swaddling blanket and trying to wrap our first newborn babe like a burrito over and over and over again. More often, we accomplished a tortilla, flat and floppy, with baby girl seriously unimpressed with her parents' swaddling skills.
Oh, if only we'd known about these buttery-soft new swaddling blankets--we might have gotten our swaddle on from the get-go.

Honeydumplings--the smartypants creator of the padded baby caps and buckwheat toddler pillows that we have admired in the past--has come up with another brilliant idea: practically foolproof and organic swaddling blankets
Each blankie--which is sized to fit a baby up to four months old (as opposed to the often-way-too-big-to-get-a-good-swaddle-going ones out there)--has a fold-down swaddle corner that helps position the baby in exactly the right spot. The material is soft, lightweight, and stretchy, so it wraps around the baby snugly without coming undone. And it's open-weave organic cotton, so it doesn't get baby all overheated. You know, like an overcooked burrito. Heh.
Plus, they're just so lovely to look at like everything from Honeydumplings: cream-colored, in three different patterns. If you can't choose, go for the recycled gift box set with two patterns tucked inside. A far cry from those stiff, hospital-issue blue-and-white striped blankets, for sure. -Lexi
Wrap up your munchkin in Honeydumplings' super-soft, super-easy-to-swaddle, organic swaddling blankets
