SwaddleDesigns Review and Giveaway...

We recently had the chance to review a cute hooded towel from SwaddleDesigns.

About SwaddleDesigns:

"SwaddleDesigns is best known for our Ultimate Receiving Blanket® which is much larger than typical receiving blankets and square in shape - and it is the only blanket with swaddling instructions sewn to its edge (patent pending). Parents tell us how much they love our blankets and find the swaddling instructions at their fingertips very helpful.

We offer two types of fabric for swaddling: Flannel and Marquisette.
· Flannel is the #1 Choice in US hospitals for swaddling babies, because it is thin, lightweight, breathable, but not too thick. Cotton flannel is appropriate for moderate to cooler environmental temperatures.
· We also offer a very lightweight open weave cotton Marquisette Swaddling Blanket® which is appropriate for warmer climates or summer swaddling. Cotton marquisette is the highest quality open weave fabric due to its high quality threads and thread count.

SwaddleDesigns is proud to announce our Safe Sleep Program as we strive to help educate parents and caregivers using the most recent information and research to increase awareness of Safe Sleep practices and help parents reduce risk of SIDS. You can find helpful tips and important information at Safe Sleep Page http://www.eswaddle.com/safe-sleep along with our SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide™ which helps parents remember the importance of Temperature Awareness. The SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide explains that baby should be dressed appropriately for the current temperature of their environment - not too hot, not too cold, but comfortably warm.”SwaddleDesigns - Hooded Towel - Lime with Brown Mod Circles

What we thought: The hooded towel we reviewed was wonderful! It was really well-made and so soft to the touch. It was very absorbent and got the job done while adding some cuteness to our bathtime routine. I love the mod circle designs! D really loved the towel too. It was actually hard to get him out of the towel and into his jammies and even afterwards he carried the towel around until bedtime:) The products at SwaddleDesigns are cute and functional and I would recommend them to anyone looking to add a little luxury comfort to their baby or small child's world:) ABCD Diaries gives SwaddleDesigns an A+!
