Guest Post: Is a Baby Sleeping Bag Ideal? | A Simple Review


Many babies prefer to be nestled in close to mommy during the infant months. It can be very tiring on the arms to have to hold the baby for hours on end.

In order to keep baby comfortable, content and quiet, trying a baby sleeping bag might just do the trick.

What you want to look at are the size, security and fabric used to construct the sleeping bag. 
If you have a fussy baby that wakes easily during transfers and you wish to make it seamless, this is the right concoction for you. 

What is a Baby Sleeping Bag?
A baby sleeping bag, also called a nap sack, is a lightweight, zippered piece of clothing. It gently fits over baby to make him or her feel secure while sleeping. Some options have straps attached that can come off to carry baby wherever you go.

The soft material, which you can read about if you click here, is comforting, soothing and calming for fussy babies. It emulates the feeling of a soft quilt or knitted blanket. When transferring baby from yourself to the crib or car seat, he or she is unlikely to wake.

Ease of Use
Even if your young one is fast asleep, slipping on a baby sleeping bag is a piece of cake. Most will not wake during this process. It is ideal to lay the sleeping bag out first, then lay baby on top of it. Gently put their arms and legs through and zip it up.

Some do not offer leg holes as they are more open-ended. These are even easier to put on if baby is sleeping. 

Calming Factors
Several calming factors are associated with the use of a baby nap sack. Some of those include:

Feeling secure
Soft material
Added warmth
The ability to still move freely

Even if you are not planning to travel outside of the home, a fussy baby is easily calmed by wrapping them up in a nap sack. These should not be used overnight as the baby is likely to become dependent on the item.

Use this during the day, while you are out and about or taking a trip in the car.

Convenience
The convenience factor of using a nap sack or baby sleeping bag is something that some moms will see as a luxury. However, busy moms will find this to be a saving grace. 

Babysitters, nervous dads and older siblings can all use this to help calm baby when mom needs to take a short break. There is also no need to worry about spills or drool as these are machine washable.

Consider these factors when seeking out options to help calm fussy babies or help babies to fall asleep faster. These nap sacks have been found to be quite helpful, especially when baby is feeling a little under the weather.

When the baby grows into an adult, pass their nap sack down to them for use with their own children. It will be an item that brings back memories and has a lot of stories to share behind it.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
