Is there anything more precious than a sweet, newborn baby tightly swaddled and fast asleep? Honestly, how many times have you thought, just for a little while, I would love to switch places with the baby and feel that safe and snuggled? Swaddling a baby is a staple of the infamous "5 S's"; Swaddling, Side (or stomach), Shhh, Swinging, and Sucking, used to settle and cuddle a baby to sleep. And for all those moms and dads who are desperate to get a good night sleep, I have discovered the most beautiful swaddling blanket, called The Solana Swaddle Wrap.

Maybe it is a result of my favorite movie, Pretty Woman, and the scene with Julia Roberts at the polo match, but I absolutely love polka dot prints. (How gorgeous did she look in that chocolate dress with matching hat!?) And The Sadie Solana Swaddle Wrap is just as lovely as Miss Vivian! Created by two moms, Theresa and Sunny, this swaddle blanket is made of a light weight, 100% cotton fabric specifically designed for babies living in warmer climates, or for our summer-born babies up north. The fabric is best described as "gauzy" and perfect for tightly swaddling a baby, since the material almost adheres to itself. In addition, it is incredibly soft, and the entire blanket is trimmed in a gorgeous, white satin. Not only is the blanket perfectly-functional and aesthetically-pleasing, it may very well become your child's "lovey" for years to come. What child can resist silky smooth satin?

Another unique characteristic to the Solana Swaddle Wraps, is their generous size. Measuring at 44" x 55", these blankets can swaddle growing babies, far beyond the newborn stage!  In addition, their ample size allows for layering over other blankets or for activities such as tummy time, playing on the grass, or as a sunshade over your stroller.

Parents are taught in the hospital how to swaddle their newborn baby, but no new parent can achieve that nice tight wrap as well as the nurse did, let alone remember how to do it! Fortunately, the wise moms at Solana Baby Wear, Theresa and Sunny, took the guesswork away from us rookies.
