If you want to give a baby shower gift that others haven’t thought of, consider a swaddling blanket – a step up from a traditional receiving blanket.
Swaddling blankets from Koala Kuddles are made to keep heat in, but also allow air to flow through. Koala Kuddles is based in Austin, Texas and they make authentic Australian swaddling blankets for appreciative American moms!
The blankets are made with 100% lightweight muslin cotton that’s very soft with a quilted weave. By allowing air to escape, Koala Kuddles also minimize the risk that baby will overheat and get sweaty while resting.
The piling-resistant swaddling blankets come in polka dot or Australian animals, such as a kangaroo, giant sea turtle, crocodile and platypus. You can also choose an assorted set with both animals and polka dots.
Koala Kuddles was started by a mom who moved to the US from Australia in 2005. When her son was born, the soon-to-be founder of Koala Kuddles realized that her American friends had never seen swaddling blankets like she was using from Australia.
If you think swaddling blankets may be complicated to use, just check the helpful hints online at Koala Kuddles. They suggest four easy steps for wrapping your baby, but there’s also a demo to give you a better idea of how to wrap baby up.
Even after a newborn passes the swaddling stage, the blankets may still be useful for many activities, like a cover for nursing privacy or as sun shield during a stroller outing.
