Lynette Damir, founded SwaddleDesigns in 2002 with her husband, Jeff. Using her medical background and her design education, Lynette designed a swaddle blanket that was sized to get a perfect swaddle using a material that was not too thick so babies wouldn’t get overheated.
SwaddleDesigns was born, and what made these swaddling blankets a success was the addition that was included in the design and featured a tag with the instructions on how to correctly swaddle which can be very challenging!
Why Swaddle?
Supine swaddling is important because it helps babies transition from the womb to the world. It is believed to reduce SIDS. A swaddled baby tends to sleep better and for longer periods of times, which is a positive to swaddling and decreases awakenings due to the startling reflex. So as long as your baby is laying on their back swaddling is very helpful…Please Note: a swaddled baby should NEVER be on their stomach, but should your little one flip from their back to their tummy, then it is time to stop swaddling.
Since the company’s beginning, the brand has consistently grown and Lynette is responsible for the designs and adorable prints that are added to the SwaddleDesigns catalog. The most recent addition is the NEW Touch of Shimmer muslin collection!
Muslin has always been my favorite swaddling and blanket choice for both my kids…I just love the material and has always been the perfect swaddles at hand. The collection is certainly one of the cutest SwaddleDesigns, by coming up with other features including a selection of light colored prints with a touch of shimmer for that extra special touch.
I love the shimmery touch that makes the prints pop up with an elegant flair. The collection includes nightgowns, bandana bibs, sleepsacks, and of course my favorite, the muslin swaddles which are available in single or 4 packs!
I have always preferred the 4 packs as you get better deals and since the swaddle blankets are so versatile, the more the better…I have always used these swaddle blankets way past the swaddling stage as they are my to go stroller blanket, changing pad…you name it. I even keep an extra one in the car and another in the diaper bag.
They make a wonderful baby shower gift and welcomes gifts for new babies…One thing is for sure, both mom and baby will love these muslin swaddles!
The new boutique quality muslin pack (4 in a pack) is available at Target for only $35.99 and, for a limited time, your purchase of a 4 pack muslin will include a bandana bib!

They have so many great items! I would love to try the muslim burp cloths & bibs! According to our ultrasounds we have a small baby. Our baby is due in 2 weeks. We plan on swaddling our baby.
Love Marquisette Swaddle Blanket in the pink Chevron for my baby niece!
Sleeping sacks , I used those with my last two and they worked not as well as swaddling does there is nothing like being wrapped up tight like they were in my tummy/ My triplets were fighting for space so swaddling them worked wonders
I LOVE The Planet Design! SO CUTE! I have a little munchkin at home who LOVES to be carried! I think that swaddling is awesome! 😀
I love the marquisitte swaddle blanket with little chickies!! Learning how to swaddle your newborn is a must for new parents, the babies sleep much better. I wish I had known to do it sooner with my first son.
