Swaddling by Pea Wee Baby

Products Nannies Love

The book I recommend most to caregivers working with newborns and infants is The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr Harvey Karp. His methods are extremely simple and absolutely work! His theory is that by creating a comfortable environment similar to the womb will allow a baby to happily sleep more. It is easy to follow Dr. Karp's Five S’s — swaddling, side, stomach positioning, shushing, swinging, and sucking. Each "S" triggers natural calming reflexes to soothe the baby. Today we recommend Pea Wee Baby Products to help swaddle infants and newborns.

Swaddling is an excellent way to prepare newborns for a good night's sleep. Dr. Karp cites a study that found that the younger babies went to sleep more quickly after being swaddled. The study also showed that babies who are swaddled, or wrapped tightly in cloth before being put down to sleep, were more likely to sleep on their backs — a position that is now suggested by most pediatricians for prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). "You get the benefit of tummy sleep with the safety of back sleeping," says Dr. Karp. "It extends an hour to two hours a night the sleep of babies, I like to tell my parents."

Pea Wee Baby™LLC is the creator and manufacturer of the SwaddleBuddy™ Series of bust-proof swaddles and accessories.

Swaddling isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Do you live in a hot climate? Do you care for a particularly wiggly baby? Would you like to be able to safely use a swing or bouncy seat? Do you have a favorite blanket you’d love to use, but the baby just refuses to stay wrapped in it? Does the baby need to be swaddled past the itty-bitty size and can’t find one big enough?

And that’s why Pea Wee designed not just one swaddle, but three! Between the SwaddleBuddy™ accessory, the SwaddleBuddy™ Suit and the SwaddleBuddy™ Sack, you are sure to find the perfect swaddling solution.

You may even be so lucky as to have one of those babies that is completely content just being wrapped in a blanket, but the store bought ones are too small, a rigid flannel and rectangular. A Pea Wee Baby™ Receiving Blanket is the perfect answer. 100% cotton knit (think of a nice weight, soft t-shirt material) and a square 36″ x 36″.

100% cotton interlock
Size Small will fit most babies up to approximately 16 lbs.
Size Large will fit most babies from approximately 15 lbs

The SwaddleBuddy™ Sack is guaranteed to keep babies swaddled! The arm restraint keeps the arms comfortably at the sides while the exterior wrap provides the comfort of being swaddled. Unlike other swaddles that wrap the arms, the SwaddleBuddy™ Sack uses hook and loop to prevent the arms from becoming unwrapped by an especially wiggly baby. The Sack option acts like a more traditional swaddle in that it completely covers the legs. However, since the leg pouch and wrap portion are all one piece, babies are unable to kick their legs out.
