November is Child Safety Protection Month and as parents, part of our job is to worry about our child’s safety. What household items could be a danger to our baby? What trouble could our toddler get into if we turn our heads for a second? What hazards are hiding in plain sight? Are we even worrying about the dangers that we should be worrying about?!
Ultimately, a certain amount of worrying is a good thing if it leads to us making safe choices for our children. Protecting our little ones feels like the most important thing in the world. Each year at Mom’s Choice Awards®, we put together a short list of some award-winning, essential safety products for parents of babies and toddlers. We hope this list helps assuage your fears and guides you towards making safe decisions for your family!
Love To Dream Swaddle UP 50/50
The Love To Dream swaddle UP 50/50, Stage 2 in the Love To Dream Sleep System, is the perfect product for transitioning your baby from swaddling to “arms free” sleep. It works perfect when baby is about to start to roll over from his back over on his tummy. Parents using the Swaddle UP Original, a Mom’s Choice Awards Gold winner 2016, enjoy being able to move the baby (around approx 4 to 6 months of age often) into the transitional 50/50. This product is also perfect for parents having used any kind of swaddles for their new babies. As many babies get their sleep disturbed when they are all of a sudden taken out of the swaddle after several months, they often develop problems to sleep. With the Swaddle UP 50/50 you will have a more gentle transition and baby will sleep better, and so will the parents. Learn more here.
