Sleep Accessories
You and baby will sleep sweetly with the help of these useful sleep accessories.

Swaddle Blankets:
Babies feel calm and sleep better when properly swaddled. Larger than a receiving blanket, swaddle blankets ar edesigned to stay fit and snug - even on wiggly babies! Choose from our selection of multi-functional muslin swaddle blankets or swaddle helpers like the Miracle Blanket or Loving Baby swaddle blanket. A great shower or new baby gift, swaddle blankets are a must-have for every new parent!

Side Car / Co-sleepers:
We all know (even your doctor says so!) that babies do best when they sleep near mom. Side car sleepers (also called co-sleepers) keep babies safely close in the early months, allowing for easier feedings and a comfortable night's sleep for parents and baby alike. Our mini co-sleeper from Arms Reach is a great side car sleeper and also functions as a portable bassinet. The Snuggle Nest from Baby Delight keeps baies safe and secure and allow mom and dad to sleep closely without worry.

Sleep Sacks:
There's nothing better than snuggling into a warm blanket on those cold winter nights, but how can you keep baby warm without risking him getting tangled or hurt with blankets. The answer is sleep sacks. These cozy zip up pouches allow baby the freedom to move around and stay warm without the risk of entanglement or suffocation. Our sacks come in a variety of sizes and fabrics, some with special slots so baby can wear his sack even in a car seat.

Dr. Harvey Karp, a pediatrician, has identified five actions that appear to help babies who seem
unusually fussy with no apparent physical cause.

Babies are very snug inside the uterus, experience continuous movement, hear a constant
rhythmical heart beat, and suckle as they please. As a result, Dr. Karp suggests the five S’s:

• Swaddle your baby snugly frequently throughout the day and night to stop baby from flailing,
• Place baby in a side or stomach (unless baby is sleeping) position (when a baby is awake,
• Swing baby (tiny, quick jiggling motion, not shaking),
• “Shoosh” your baby with a rhythmical sound close to baby’s ear, and
• Let your baby suckle frequently (either at the breast, on a finger or a pacifier).
