Woombies

Wouldn't it be nice if you could wrap your baby in a straightjacket to keep the little one from squirming and wiggling when he should be sleeping?  Loose blankets in the bed can be a suffocation hazard for the itty bitty young babies and fluffy sleepers are just too hot for the warm summer nights.  Enter the Woombie.  The Woombie is a fabulous baby product: just zip baby up in it like a little baby burrito and, like a Crunch Wrap, he'll be good to go.  Unlike swaddling blankets, there is no learning curve to the Woombie.  Just put baby in and zip it up.  That's it.  It's like a tight lightweight sleeping bag.  Strong babies that can break out of the classic swaddle blankets and other brands of specialized swaddlers will meet their match in the Woombie and be unable to break arms out through the zipper.  

My son has slept basically through the night with minimal nighttime waking due to the comfort that the Woombie gives him.  It prevents him from startling himself awake and keeps him firmly swaddled in a womb-like environment he finds familiar and comforting.

I recommend having at least two Woombies so that you will have one on backup for when the first is in the wash.
