Welcome to This N That with Olivia’s Baby Gift Guide!
Are you a Mom-t0-Be or New Mom? Or maybe even someone looking for a perfect gift for the Mom-to-Be? This N That with Olivia’s Baby Gift Guide will feature products from the best baby brands out there in the form of reviews and sometimes giveaways. We are expecting our first little boy in October, 2014 so the search for great baby products is in full swing– those with great reviews are always at the forefront of our minds. Therefore, I plan to provide you with a review of some specific products from amazing baby brands.
Our next feature is from Swaddle Designs!
About Swaddle Designs:
Lynette Damir, RN, CEO and Creative Director, founded SwaddleDesigns in 2002. The inspiration for SwaddleDesigns was sparked when Lynette visited families with new babies in their homes and she noticed they struggled with swaddling for two reasons. First, the blanket they were using was too small or too thick, and second, they could not remember how to make a good secure swaddle. The parents consistently asked her to share the secret of the hospital nurses – how to swaddle.
Lynette used her medical background and design education from the Art Institute of Seattle to develop the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket – large and square with swaddling instructions sewn to the edge of the blanket, so parents have an effective swaddling technique at their fingertips (patent pending). SwaddleDesigns first customer was a major hospital that purchased 4,000 blankets! They understood the importance of swaddling and the educational value of Lynette‛s blanket.
Supine swaddling is important because it helps babies transition from womb to world, reduces incidence of SIDS, helps babies sleep better and longer, and decreases awakenings due to the startle reflex. By helping parents master the art of swaddling, the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket is a great confidence builder for new parents.
Over the past several years, SwaddleDesigns product line has grown significantly. Lynette designs all of SwaddleDesigns products and exclusive prints, and she selects every component based on its color, texture, durability and quality. She designs with baby‛s best interest in mind and to help new parents.
This N That with Olivia was sent the 4 pack of Muslin Swaddles in boy colors — perfect for our little man arriving later this year! 🙂
Wrap your baby in pure softness. Our boutique quality 100% cotton muslin with cheerful designs gets softer with every wash.
The open weave increases breathability and reduces the risk of overheating. The generous size, square shape and helpful labels will make it easy to swaddle.
What makes SwaddleDesigns cotton muslin special? We pre-wash to maximize softness and we use premium cotton yarns to increase durability and minimize pilling.

Additionally, we are excited to announce Cotton Muslin Swaddles with SwaddleDesigns quality! The softness and the quality are wonderful. To create the best quality cotton muslin swaddle, we start with premium quality cotton yarns, so the fabric looks great wash after wash. We prewash for softness and our muslin gets softer with every wash. We believe natural cotton is best next to baby.

We are super excited to use these versatile blankets for our little man when he joins our family in October. As you can see in the summary above, the blankets are large, breathable and soft– perfect for every Mom-to-be or new Mom! You’re able to wash these in the washing machine and they’ll maintain their softness, plus they can be used as a nursing cover, stroller cover, swaddle blanket and more. The opportunities for this product is endless and I LOVE that their products are pre-washed to maximize the softness!!
