Preparing to have a baby is hard work. There is so much parenting jargon that I was unaware of that I felt very overwhelmed at times. For example, I had no idea what swaddling a baby ment. I found out quickly how important and what a lifesaver swaddling was on the first day BJ was born. Luckily my husband was aware enough to learn how to swaddle our son while I was recovering from my c-section. Why swaddle? Swaddling helps your baby sleep longer, it lowers the risk of SIDS, and it helps babies learn how to self-sooth themselves back to sleep. One thing I learned early on is that not all swaddling blankets are made the same. 
Koala Kuddles was created by a mom who moved to the United States from Australia who brought her muslin swaddling blankets with her. American moms were enthralled with the Australian wraps and therefore Koala Kuddleswas born. Koala Kuddles are swaddling blankets made out of 100% cotton weave (known as muslin in Australia). This fabric minimizes the risk of baby over-heating because it allows excess heat to breathe through the fabric. The fabric also allows for a tighter, more secure wrap allowing baby to sleep longer (and therefore mom).
We received a package of three swaddle blankets from Koala Kuddles for review. Like other muslin swaddle blankets the fabric is a little rough at first. The first time I purchased muslin blankets I was really surprised how they felt out of the package. I highly suggest washing them as soon as possible. Do not be alarmed, these blankets get softer and softer the more times you wash them. I loved the gender neutral design on Koala Kuddles blankets. These blankets are the perfect size for newborns and infants. They are also large enough to cover nursing mothers and strollers with sleeping infants. BJ loves to cuddle with his Koala Kuddle. I would highly recommend these swaddle blankets for a baby shower gift, I know I wish I had these blankets from the beginning.

Animals and Polka Dots
My best remedy was using the teething rings that you could put in the freezer/fridge. They were my life saver. Baby found them so soothing, and so did my nerves.
