***SwaddleDesigns Fitted Crib Sheet Review + GIVEAWAY***Start The Year In Style

SwaddleDesigns is a company that is well known for their ultra soft receiving blankets. They are one of the few "receiving blanket" companies that makes a blanket that is big enough that you can actually swaddle a baby with it (unlike the ones in stores like Target and WalMart that you can hardly swaddle a newborn in.....they are pathetic). They have gained "must-have" status for many of their items, especially their swaddling babies. Your older kiddos will also love their Stroller Blankets which are nice and big and will keep your babies nice and warm while outside.

They also carry many things besides Swaddle Blankets. They have everything from sleep sacks, to burp rags, security blankets, adult sized blankets (I SO want one of these!!!), crib sheets, and much more!  We received their Blue Pastel with Brown Mod Circles fitted crib sheet for review.

Swaddle Designs fitted sheets are made from the same soft flannel cotton as their best selling Ultimate Receiving Blankets. They are amazingly soft, warm, cozy, and comfortable and are made out of 100% natural cotton fibers that are gentle next to your baby’s sensitive skin. The fitted sheets are available in an huge assortment of colors and designs......20 plus designs and colors to be in-fact.  You can get anything from bright and cheery colors to subtle blending in colors and prints. All of their colors will easily coordinate with almost any nursery decor or theme. 

I have always been a little hesitant to use flannel sheets on my boys beds because they both overheat so fast and have since they were born. All of the "flannel" blankets that I have used in the past were made out of cheep run of the mill flannel so I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about these even though they are much much higher quality than the others. When I put my little man to bed the first night that we tried these sheets out I dressed him like normal (long sleeved pj's) and was sort of expecting him to wake up during the night because he was too warm.......but he slept great the whole night and didn't get overheated at all! I asked him in the morning if he slept good and he said very matter of fact "Yup, I do" (2 year old speak for "yes, I did) The flannel is such nice quality that it is nice and breathable and works amazingly on children's beds.

Swaddle Designs Crib sheets fit all standard crib mattresses (28" x 52") They fit nice and snug on Monkeys mattress, but not so snug that they are hard to get on and off.

Make sure that you check out their "Safe Sleep" Page to learn more about Safe Sleep Practices. And always remember "The Goldilocks Guide"......"Your baby should never be dressed too hot or too cold, but just right ~ comfortably warm.
