Koala Kuddles Review & Giveaway

I recently celebrated my sister and my new niece or nephew to be by throwing her a baby shower. Everyone knows that at baby showers, you typically get blankets and lots of them. I remember when Zoelle was born I got a ton of pretty blankets. They were seriously wonderful, but none of them were swaddle blankets. I had no idea what it meant to swaddle when I first had Zoelle. If you are like me, go check out the swaddle tips so you'll know what I mean when I saw swaddle your baby.

Once we started swaddling Zoelle and Meridian, their sleep improved dramatically. In fact, I remember lamenting to Chris when Mer outgrew her swaddle that I was never going to get her to sleep. It was in part true, but for the time I had the ability to swaddle, I was thankful.

When we have our next, I'm happy to say that I've found a swaddle blanket and company that I love! Koala Kuddles make excellent light weight cotton blankets that would be perfect for swaddling. Since I don't have a tiny baby in my house to swaddle and I completely forgot to take pictures of it with Meridian, I don't have any pictures of it in use at my home. I will say though that these work beyond the swaddle period. As it is getting warmer and warmer in the summer, I was looking for a new blanket to replace Meridian's heavy blanket that she sleeps with in the winter. Since it is so light weight, it works perfectly just for that. Another thing I was excited to use it for is as a light blanket in the stroller. Some days or nights can be a little cool here, but not cool enough for a big heavy blanket. The swaddling blanket is perfect for that! The only thing I wish is that it was just slightly bigger as my girl is growing bigger and needs a bit of a bigger blanket now.

Buy It!
