Refresh These 5 Baby Items in the New Year

The New Year is a perfect excuse to go through all of your baby’s items and decide what needs to be refreshed. From cleaning out old toys that your baby doesn’t play with anymore to new baby blankets for the new year, here are some of the items you should refresh. 

Receiving Blanket
Toys

With the holidays over, it’s time to go through the old toys. What does your baby not play with anymore? Are there toys that they have outgrown, such as toys for tummy time, but your baby is already crawling? If there is a particular attachment to a toy, keep it. Otherwise, it helps to make room for new toys and donate the old and unused.

Baby Blankets

Whether the baby blanket you have been using is old and worn out, or you are looking for a new design to match the season, refreshing your baby’s receiving blanket is always a good idea. You can replace any swaddles, as well, as some might be too dirty or worn out. High durability blankets may just need a good wash cycle.

Burp Cloths

 Burp cloths are probably some of the most frequently used items during the infant and toddler phases. Whether it’s to protect your clothes or clean up a spill, burp cloths are invaluable. However, that means they can wear out quickly. It might be time for a refresh, even if you are just updating the pattern to better match your home’s aesthetic or for winter or spring.

Clothes

Whether it’s keeping up with the latest baby trends or your baby is changing sizes and ready to go to the next size up, the New Year is the perfect time to evaluate what is in your baby’s closet. Plus, it’s a great time to start planning for next season, so you are ready with designs meant for the new season. You can also plan ahead and get warm weather clothes, as well. Like toys, old clothes can be donated.

Baby Bibs

Eventually, cloth baby bibs will get a stain that refuses to wash out. This gives you an excuse to update and refresh your stock of baby bibs. You can also choose a new style. If the bandana-style bib isn’t working for you and your baby, you can switch to a classic baby bib. You can also try a baby bib that transforms into a burp cloth, giving you plenty of versatility and saving you time when going from feeding to burping.

What Is Swaddling and Why Should You Do It?

One of the essential skills a new parent can learn is how to swaddle their newborn with a receiving blanket . Sleep can be tough to come by in the first few months after having a baby, but you and your baby can get better and safer sleep by swaddling your baby. Here is what you need to know about swaddling, including when you should stop swaddling. Baby Blankets What Is Swaddling? Swaddling uses baby blankets to wrap your baby up, holding their arms down and legs fairly close together while allowing the hips free movement. A baby blanket is usually enough, though specialized swaddle sacks are also available but are also less versatile. The goal is to keep the swaddle tight enough to keep the arms in place, but not so tight that your baby is uncomfortable. What is the Moro Reflex? The Moro reflex, or startle reflex, occurs when a baby is asleep and throws their arms and legs out to the sides. This startles them awake. Swaddling prevents their arms and legs from moving, which in turn do...

How to Swaddle and When to Stop Swaddling

Many hospitals will give parents a baby blanket to swaddle their newborn in. Swaddling, though, can be tricky without practice. What does swaddling do, and why can it be important? Here is everything you need to know about swaddling your new baby, and when you can stop swaddling. Baby Blankets What Does Swaddling Do? First, it’s essential to understand what swaddling does. The snugness of baby blankets helps mimic the sensation of still being in the womb, helping to calm your baby. That snugness helps keep your baby’s arms down, as well. The startle reflex, also known as the Moro reflex, can occur while your baby is sleeping. They throw their arms out to the side, startling themselves awake. Swaddling helps prevent this. Swaddling can also help keep your baby warm. Bear in mind that swaddling is not for every baby; some babies hate it and refuse to be swaddled. Alternatives are discussed later, but you may also just move on to a baby sleeping bag or sleep sack....
