SwaddleDesigns® Ultimate Receiving Blanket® is unique and special. It is the only blanket with swaddling instructions sewn to its edge (patent pending). Designed by Lynette Damir, RN, and Mom of two, the Ultimate Receiving Blanket is a favorite of new parents and celebrities. It is larger than typical receiving blankets (42” x 42”) and square in shape. Made from soft, premium, preshrunk cotton flannel and generous in size, it makes a perfect, snugly swaddle for baby. Medical professionals, newborn care experts, and moms all agree – swaddled babies sleep better, so everyone gets more sleep!

Lynette found while visiting new parents that they often struggled with learning how to swaddle for two reasons: 1) They didn’t have the right kind of blanket and 2) They couldn’t remember how to make a good secure swaddle. The Ultimate Receiving Blanket addresses both of these issues.  In addition to swaddling, the Ultimate Receiving Blanket can be used for a privacy throw when breastfeeding, a play mat for tummy time and a shield over the stroller for protection from bright sun or a cool breeze.  This wonderful, high-quality blanket will be used and enjoyed for years.

NEW Gift Sets are now available – SwaddleDesigns Ultimate Receiving Blanket, Coordinating Baby Burpies® set of two, and Baby Lovie™ come gift ready in a clear gift box.  Baby Burpies are stylish and functional burp cloths, to handle all those little messes. Baby Lovie is a sweet little security blankie with soft textures that little fingers love. SwaddleDesigns also has Certified Organic Cotton Ultimate Receiving Blankets. SwaddleDesigns fabrics feature custom designs by Lynette Damir.  All SwaddleDesigns products are made in the USA.

We are auctioning off 5 SwaddleDesigns gift boxes. Each gift box will contain a SwaddleDesigns® Ultimate Receiving Blanket® in Solid Pastel with Brown Mod Circle pattern, Baby Burpies® (set of two) and a Baby Lovie™ in a clear gift box. Each box has a retail value of $65. We’ll be auctioning one of the lime sets and two each of the pink and blue sets.
