Give the new mother a gift she will love...the gift of sleep!
Why is Snug & Tug™ Unmatched?
- Design:
The triangular design of the Snug & Tug is the ideal shape for swaddling. It can be used anywhere, anytime - and doesn't re-quire a lot of space for swaddling your baby.
- Size:
Snug & Tug blankets are made to grow with your baby, but two sizes are offered because one size blankets don't always "fit all."
- Material:
High quality breathable, stretchable super soft cotton. Good swaddling blankets are made with cotton - not with fleece, terry cloth, or satin trim.
- Special Features:
Velcro is essential, as long as it is placed properly and actually works. If a blanket doesn't have some sort of adherence, your baby will eventually wiggle out (during the night and in the long term - your baby's strength will only grow with age).
- Function:
Snug & Tug is designed solely to be a swaddling blanket. Don't be fooled by "2 in 1s" (blankets that promise to do more). It's great in theory, but it just doesn't work. |

The Truth About Sleep
- Sleep deprivation is the number one stressor for new mothers.
- A mother loses 350 hours of sleep at night over her baby's first year.
- Lack of sleep for just 24 hours can leave you short-tempered and irrational.
- REM sleep is nearly doubled in babies who are swaddled than in those who are not.
Why does your baby cry and what can you do about it?
After 9 months of warmth and security, a baby can have a difficult time adjusting to the huge amount of activity present in life outside their mother's womb. Dr. Harvey Karp, author of Happiest Baby on the Block and many other pediatricians believe that babies are not prepared for their new environment and can have a difficult time adjusting to their new world. The newborn's reaction is to cry, and at times making their parents cry too!
Swaddling is a time-tested technique used to keep infants warm and cozy by securely wrapping their bodies. The swaddling technique provides newborns with a sense of security by imitating the sanctuary of their mother's womb. Recent studies have shown that swaddling your baby results in better sleep, for a longer amount of time - exactly what every parent needs!
The Facts: Why Swaddle
- It helps your baby sleep longer and sounder.
- It is proven to reduce colic and fussiness.
- It recreates the warmth and security of the mother's womb while adjusting to their new world.
- Swaddling limits the startle reflex, which wakes babies during their sleep.
- Properly swaddled babies sleep through the night sooner.
- It helps your baby become aware of your efforts to soothe her.
- It's safe, easy and reduces the risk of SIDS.
The Myths: Why Not
- It's too late to swaddle - false, it's never too late even if your baby is already 2 or 3 months old-many mothers swaddle their baby until 6 months of age.
- Swaddling is primitive - true, it's a prehistoric practice but it works!
- Babies are uncomfortable - false, newborns love being confined and are soothed by being tightly swaddled.
- Babies will overheat - false, newborns are used to bring in the womb, an environment close to 100 degrees. (Although in warmer climates, you could swaddle them in a onesie or even in their diaper.)
- Swaddling takes too much effort - false, true swaddling may take effort, but after a few times you'll be an expert- the rewards will be well worth it!
- Babies will get dependent-somewhat true, swaddling gives your baby the comfort they need, as your baby grows you can adjust your technique, perhaps let their legs free to kick about or one arm free for access to suck their fingers (your baby will let you know).
