My second boy is a lot bigger than my first. The slender pajamas my first son wore are too slim for my second son. First, I paired a long sleeve onesie with these swaddles, but soon he no longer fit the largest bodysuits they make. As a work around, I got these long sleeve shirts and pair them with a Love to Dream Swaddle without the wings so his arms are free. The long sleeve shirt fits easily over his head and over his arms, and the swaddle keeps his legs and toes cover

This is one of my favorite items, with a thermometer in my baby's room I can easily see the temperature when I put my baby down for a nap, and know if I need to adjust the thermostat up or down. My little one sleeps best when the temperature is 69 to 71 degrees. If it's warmer, I know I need to run the fan, and if it's 73 or warmer he's going to be sweating, and he may need a cooler outfit and no sleeping sack.

So, initially the wings were zipped on, and he was able to sleep with his arms up by his head, but still secure in the sleeping bag to help prevent him from startling awake.  Then, I was able to take these off to

Ok, so as parents we run into different problems with our little ones and seek out advice usually from google and our pediatrician. One issue we had with our first kiddo was transitioning him to sleeping through the night in his own room. This is one of the many typical hurdles parents have to cross at some point. Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems by Richard Ferber explains all different sleep related issues you may or may not face and how to practically resolve them. Ini

After two kiddos, we have a few products that have stood the test of time and were a much appreciated help in those first few months. First favorite, SwaddleMe Original Swaddle. I don't know about you, but we struggled with swaddling our first kiddo. The nurses would come in demonstrate how to make a perfect baby burrito and then we would fail to replicate their perfect folds and have a screaming new born on our hands within minutes. So, when we tried these when we got ho
