The Woombie: Product Review and Giveaway

A couple of weeks ago, I asked those who “like” I Can Teach My Child on Facebook what some of their favorite baby products are. One reader mentioned the “Woombie”, which I had never heard of before! I contacted Woombie to see if they would be interested in a giveaway and/or product review and they wholeheartedly agreed!

The Woombie is like a swaddler for dummies–but way more effective! It is a zip-up sack made from a cotton/spandex blend that imitates the baby’s position in the womb. Here’s the exact description from The Woombie website:

“Swaddle your baby Safely and Effectively with The Woombie … designed to ease your mind and comfort your baby so you may both achieve a better nights sleep. The Woombie is the safest & most NATURAL way to Swaddle your baby, encouraging baby to softly stretch extremities as needed, just like in the womb. The Woombie comforts, softly confines arms & gently compresses baby’s unique curves to hug baby… preventing Startling issues, face scratching, overheating and also preventing dangerous loose unraveled blankets from covering baby’s face.”

Within a few days of my first correspondence, I received our very own Convertible Woombie (shown below) to try out…with the forewarning that Little Brother might resent it since he has never used one before. However, I was pleasantly surprised that he didn’t mind it one bit…perhaps because the Convertible Woombie is similar to a SleepSack, which he is already used to. The Convertible Woombie has openings for the arms with optional snaps. This way, once your baby begins to roll over you can still use the Woombie by allowing the baby’s arms to be free.

I wish we would have had this for both of our boys as newborns! Prince Charming is THE BEST swaddler, but my swaddling skills are seriously lacking. Who wants to try to perfectly position a blanket at 2 a.m. anyway??? The Woombie is SOOO easy to use!

Some other things that I really love about the Woombie are the fact that it has a 2-way zipper…making those nighttime diaper changes much easier while also protecting the babies neck from the zipper using a Velcro flap. It is made from a cotton/spandex material which means it really hugs the baby’s body. It also comes in a variety of sizes and styles (even Preemie sizes and Winter/Summer fabrics). Isn’t this ruffle one adorable??? As a mother of two boys..I am seriously ruffle deprived!

The Woombie was created in 2006 and has recently received many accolades and awards. It is truly a wonderful product that helps newborns sleep more soundly by mimicking the positioning inside the womb. And it is much safer than covering a baby with a traditional blanket…just make sure you use the Convertible Woombie once your baby can roll over!

So, now it’s your turn to get your very own choice of Woombie. Even if you don’t have a newborn…this would make for a GREAT baby shower gift! You will have 3 days to enter. I will randomly draw a winner on Monday morning (9/13) at 10 a.m. You can enter five separate times by doing each of these five things. Enter once or enter five times, it’s up to you!

  1. I'd like the big baby convertible style. It looks like it is in banana only, which would be fine with me! I wish they did it with the ruffles…I'm all about ruffles now that I have a girl :)

  2. I visited woombie.com and the swaddler that would work best for me would be the "Summer" style in the new born aqua stripe.

  3. I already follow you here! I had to laugh about your hubby being THE BEST swaddler because my hubby is THE WORST. If it was his turn to get up at 2am, I would ultimately be woken up to swaddle our ds…this will be perfect for our 2nd baby due in May!

  4. I visited the woombie website and love that pink one with the ruffles..so cute! But, since it's way to early to determine if I'll have a girl I would choose the Summer woombie in newborn aqua stripe.

  5. I just visited the Woombie site. My husband and I are expecting a little girl in January. The Original Woombie, size newborn, in bubblegum would best suit our needs! :) Love it! I wish I had known about this when we had our son 2 years ago!

  6. I don’t have my children at home anymore they are grown . But I have a new Grandson Devon he is 8 months old . I’m going to follow your blog . Thank you
