You’ve Lost That Nursing Feeling
Here’s a cute little video to start your day. How many moms out there can relate to this one? Nursing your baby is a very special gift, but there has to be a time when the little one is weened off. Come to think of it, it’s a pretty good metaphor for parenting and life. When that time comes, be strong and be creative. We love our security blankets which you can check out here, but you may need to use your judgment as a mother on if it’s a good time to introduce one. You don’t want to train your child to jump from being on dependent from one thing to another.
Anyway, enjoy this cute little clip. It’s not Tom Cruise in Top Gun, but a fun little spoof. Does this feel like the breastfeeding experience you know moms? Have a great weekend everyone!

Since opening our store, many of our friends and family are often asking us, “what are the best baby blankets on your site”? Well, it really depends on what you are looking for. From the very beginning of this site’s existence, we have striven to be your one destination on the internet for all of your baby blanket needs. We’ve had our work cut out for us! There are many different categories of baby blankets, and so the best baby blanket needs to begin with the question, “what are you using it for?”
Do you need a swaddling blanket? Do you need a security blanket? Do you need a receiving blanket? Do you need a stroller blanket? Some blankets will cross over into multiple categories, but others are designed specifically for one reason. For example, the Snug and Tug on our site is strictly a swaddler. However, our aden and anais blankets can serve as swaddling, stroller blankets, play blankets or many other uses. Our Swaddle Designs lovies are definitely meant to be a security blanket as well as a fashion statement. Many celebrity moms love these blankets.
So, what is the best baby blanket? It’s really up to you! Determine what the purpose is, then shop our store by category. OR, shop our store by color. OR, shop our store by price. OR, shop our store by brand. Ok, ok, I’ll stop. But, you get the idea. Some blankets may be better quality than others. We love the aden and anais muslin wraps, but it’s hard to say which are the best.

Well, we’ve been snowed it over the past week and a half. It hasn’t seemed to quit! In the Cincinnati area, this is more than we are used to. Now, I grew up in Southwest Michigan, right across from Chicago. So, I’m used to a regular dumping of snow, but after 20 years in Cincinnati, you’re not quite as accustomed to it. Here’s a look at some of the people digging out.
That said, the snow has been good for one thing. It’s gotten me to want to watch the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Up until yesterday, they could have used some of our snow! It seems to me that there are more exciting events than ever. I love the Snowboard Cross, and the Short Track Speed Skating is always a thriller. I was glad to see Canada get their first gold. What a great story with the older brother having cerebral palsy. What a great story! The olympics are filled with them.
So, if you’re like me, you’ll want to cuddle up and stay warm and watch some more sports. Cuddle that baby up with a blanket as well!
Experts Say a Security Blanket Could Help Your 8-12 Month Old Baby Sleep Better
Kids Health, from Nemours posted an article on “Sleep and Your 8- to 12-Month-Old”. If you are a parent struggling with how to help your child develop healthy sleep patterns and/or how to approach sleep issues your baby may be having, take a few minutes to review the article by clicking the title above. It covers the following topics:
* How Long Will My Baby Sleep?
* Where and How Should My Baby Sleep?
* Encouraging Sleep
* When to Call the Doctor
In the article, Kids Health stated, “If your baby has a favorite toy or blanket that you feel is safe to have in the crib, it can be left for comfort. This is when “transitional” objects become important to babies. They help your baby transition from being with you most of the time to having some time away from you and becoming more independent.”
If you’re looking for a security blanket or any other unique baby blanket, browse our retail site at blanketmybaby.com. With security blankets, it is recommended that you buy a few of the same blanket so that your baby will always have one available. This way if one is in the wash, gets lots or is left at daycare your baby will still have one to establish the feelings of familiarity and comfort.
