Did you know that many people overlook the fact that infants startle, commonly known as the Moro Reflex until about two or three months of age? This reflex goes away as the brain develops, but it can cause sleep interruptions in newborns. Not only is there the Moro Reflex, but loose blankets in the crib is a SIDS risk that could possibly cause suffocating.
One solution to this reflex is to swaddle your newborn in Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe baby blankets. These blankets provide an upper velcro attachment that wraps around the baby's torso and keeps them snug. It reduces the startle reflex and can also reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better back sleeping.
To use the Kiddopotamus swaddling blanket, simply unfold the swaddle and tuck your baby's legs inside the leg pocket. Align your baby's shoulders with the top, then fold the wings snugly over the infants chest and velcro close. You can also use this in your infant car seat for on-the-go travel. Refer to the instructions for proper instructions of the SwaddleMe in a car seat.
The swaddling blanket comes in an array of different colors. It's design is even thoughtful of night time diaper changing, as you don't have to undo the upper portion of the blanket. Your baby's legs will slip right out of the leg pocket when you release the velcro holding it in place. You never have to risk your baby startling and fully waking him during the night when the SwaddleMe stays in place.
Kiddopotamus swaddling baby blankets are available in 100% organic cotton. The SwaddleSet is a blanket, sleep cap and booklet. Dreamsie features a sleeper and sleep cap while the SwaddleMe is the traditional velcro swaddling blanket. These make excellent gifts and are perfect for babies with sensitive skin.
