Ever since becoming a mother, SIDS (or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has been one of the scary unknowns that is always in the back of my mind. Back when I did daycare, they even had us providers take a class on it. Now as foster parents, both my husband and I had to take a SIDS/SUIDS training class again. While they truly don’t know what causes young children to die for no apparent reason in their sleep, per our training, unsafe sleeping conditions has been a leading finding in almost every single case. That may include a variety of things but one prominent issue they focused on for us was bedding and blankets.
Sending a big thank you to The Ollie World for sending us one of their beautiful swaddles to use with our foster baby!
It’s no secret that babies like to be swaddled and feel safe. That timeless technique gives a secure feeling and allows them to sleep better and be content longer. I’ve read that it mimics the womb feeling for them. But sometimes, a typical swaddle just won’t do. So when I learned that the Ollie Swaddle was created by a foster mom for her little foster baby named Oliver, I was intrigued.
The Ollie Swaddle Nature Collection offers an array of beautiful muted colors and makes a great gift. This great swaddle encourages self-soothing while offering a calming environment.
So easy to use, the Ollie Swaddle is so much more than “just another swaddle”. The ingenious design actually decreases the risk of hip dysplasia while offering all the great benefits that swaddling provides. Plus, it’s made from a custom designed moisture-wicking fabric to reduce the risk of baby overheating! The velcro allows for a variety of sizes while the bottom opens up for diaper changes while baby stays swaddled! It’s truly a great product and all new parents or foster parents should have one!

I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.

Was always my biggest fear too!! I had a movement monitor to ease my mind and that helped, but so did being educated on ways to prevent it!!

These look beautiful. I will keep these in mind for baby showers. My daughter loved to be swaddled when she was smaller. She’s 16 months old and I still find myself watching her breathe while she’s sleeping.

My son liked being swaddled but not his arms. The little bugger would squirm his arms out every time…it was pretty funny to watch actually.

I think its so important to make sure you protect your child as best as you can, Knowing this month is SIDS month, please be aware of the dangers involved, also learning to bundle or swaddle your baby is very helpful..
My kidlets all loved being swaddled. This design is awesome!
