I am a huge proponent of swaddling infants. With both of our boys, swaddling helped them calm down and sleep better at night, meaning better sleep for us (well, better sleep for me, if we’re being honest here – Brian could sleep through anything!) – if you’re a new mom or have been through the newborn stage, you know how valuable sleep is.
When J was a newborn, we swaddled him with receiving blankets. We had to redo the swaddle over and over again because he’d always slip out. Later we discovered swaddling blankets, which made things a lot easier.
Well, upon seeing the TrueWomb I was completely jealous that we didn’t know about this when our boys were newborns! The TrueWomb has a pouch for the baby’s legs that allows his legs to kick or stretch, but returns them to the naturally desired fetal position while at rest. My favorite part of the blanket is the pockets for the arms to slip into. In other swaddling blankets, babies’ arms are pinned down to their sides. With the TrueWomb, the baby’s arms wrap around his front, a much cozier position that really mimics what newborns are used to from the womb.
TrueWomb was recently awarded the Seal of Approval from the National Parenting Center. Testers said the blanket was easy to use and loved that instructions are imprinted right on the blanket in case you need help.
I received a pink TrueWomb for review, but didn’t have access to a newborn to test it out on, so I saved it for a giveaway! Even if you don’t have a little girl to use this on, it would be a perfect shower gift.

Swaddling seems to be the answer for quality sleep for both babies and parents. Any thing that makes it easy has to be a bonus.
