This is the only swaddle you should try… get two… get three… It is the most amazing night sleep for mom and baby
Swaddelini
I used this for both my babies and I don't think I could have slept without it. The camera is not great but it is nice to have both working together.
Owlet® Dream Sock
The softest most stretchy swaddle with the most adorable prints. Yes they are a bit pricey but you only need one or two. Buy everything they have… the covers, the hats, the bibs, the bows! Now they have clothes too; I wish they had that when my kids ...
Copper Pearl
You cannot live without this item if you breastfeed. It is a dual use item so girl math says it is half off… just saying.

For the older baby, not nessessary but it is very nice to have.

Cotton Muslin Baby Quilt - Meadow
Maternity
This thing is amazing for a big belly. As you rub it, the bar warms up and makes the most amazing massage. It glides so easy and smells amazing. Every time my midwife felt my tubby she said, “wow that's so soft.”
