Nip'n Tuck

How the heck do those hospital nurses do that swaddling trick? With a tuck here and a twist there -- presto! -- they've made a wonton of baby Junior. Now that you're home and the startle reflex is in full swing, you're desperate to get your little one back into that snugly straight jacket. Problem is, you can't figure out for the life of you how to get both ends of the blanket just so -- even your hubby, adept as he is at neckties, can't master this one -- and what you keep ending up with is a tangled heap of cotton and a baby who's awake, again.

That's where the Swaddleaze comes in handy. This combination swaddling blanket and sleep sack lets you tuck your baby in tightly and securely for the night. The key is a cozy flap that wraps around the arms and is held securely into place with Velcro to recreate that crammed-into-the-womb sensation.

Fold back the flap, and you'll find all the best features of a standard sleeping bag, including a front zipper for convenient diaper changes and arm holes for more freedom once your infant outgrows the startling stage. And as baby gets older, the Swaddleaze is designed to soothe through the litany of night-waking triggers -- colds, teething, changes in room temperature -- with the comfort of a soft, breathable microfleece that promotes warmth, but also alleviates concerns about overheating.

No question, a little sleep deprivation is inevitable in the first year, but products like these may just cut down on the moonlit laps back and forth to the nursery (and keep you from crawling back to the maternity ward for another lesson from the experts).
