Product Information by Kim Stolte RN
Did you ever wonder why newborns don't come with an instruction manual? My years of working with new parents has shown me that even if you read every book, watched every video and practiced all the tasks prior to your newborn being born, you will still learn more with hands-on experience during the first few weeks your newborn is home.
But the reality of the first few weeks of changing diapers, breastfeeding, and basic newborn care will take up all your time. Learning to care for your newborn compounded with less sleep can make even the simple tasks seem complicated.
That's why I developed the Baby Sleep System that would help parents during the first few weeks. The SwaddleKeeper Baby Sleep System has many unique features:
1. A Newborn Sleep DVD: The content of the DVD are based on my years of working with newborns and parents as a Registered Nurse. It includes step-by-step instructions that are easy to understand, jam-packed with advice and accurate information that will get you time-tested facts on newborn sleep, swaddling and parenting tips. This is all you will need to help your newborn sleep longer and calm a fussy baby or a baby with colic.
2. Natural cotton, padded head support making the newborn easier to hold and pass from person to person. The head support is great for siblings, grandparents and new parents to feel confident when holding the newest member of their family.
3. The V-shaped leg opening allows newborns legs to extend and stretch for proper hip and leg development. The fact that the legs are unrestrained by the SwaddleKeeper and gently covered by a receiving blanket makes diaper checks possible without un-swaddling.
4. One size fits newborns weighing 5-22 pounds or 6-8 months. Most newborns like being swaddled for clser to 3 months, but there are a number of babies that sleep better when swaddled longer even up to 8 months. Every baby is different and the SwaddleKeeper will continue to work for larger babies.
Swaddling has been used for centuries to calm a newborn. Newborns are used to being nice and snug in your womb and are comforted by a secure swaddle that replicates that feeling. Not only can swaddling calm a fussy baby, but swaddling also extends sleep periods by decreasing the accidental awaking by the startle reflex and the random movements of the baby's arms when she tries to suck on her hands.
In order for a swaddle to be successful, the newborn's arms must be swaddled so that she doesn't wiggle out. When you first swaddle your newborn, it is not unusual for her to struggle against the swaddling blanket or her crying may increase. What she is doing is testing your swaddle- she wants to make sure that she is as snug as when she was inside your womb. As she realizes that she is secure she will settle down thinking that she is "home".
The SwaddleKeepers make perfect gifts for new mothers and fathers, so don't delay—get that newborn better sleep today!
