Wrapped in love Guest Post

As many of you will know, notyetayummymummy is expecting her second child shortly and with her bundle of joy soon to make an appearance I thought I might fill the blog gap a little.

I am her sister in law and a first time mum to a gorgeous 7 week old little girl. As a fan of the never-ending knowledge of thousands of other mummies out there I found myself joining the Baby Centre Websites September 2011 Birth Board.

This is where I came across a fabulous post from another mummy explaining about a generous deal the people from Morrck where doing. They were offering a free Baby Hoodie to the first 100 people to e-mail them from Baby Centre, which I very quickly did. Amazingly a few days later I received a reply informing me that I had indeed won myself a Baby Hoodie and it would be on its way to me shortly.

Due to nappy brain (that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it) I assumed the item would be what we would expect a miniature version of a Hoodie to be. This is not at all what I received!

Instead, I unwrapped the package to reveal a beautifully soft, light pink fleecy fabric. Once opened out I discovered it to be lined in 100% cotton and shaped like a wrap with a little hood (hence the Hoodie reference). There were strategically placed holes allowing either a three point harness such as my car seat, or a five point harness, such as a prams, to fit through easily. Dearest daughter was simply then placed in the car seat with the fabric opened out and once secured by the harness, the fabric could then be wrapped around her keeping her perfectly warm and cosy

Making sure our daughter is the perfect temperature and as comfortable as possible, especially at this time of year, usually requires awkward layering up of vests, tops, coats and hats. The Baby Hoodie is fantastic as I only have to place her in the car seat dressed for indoors, wrap her up, take her out and about and lift her out of the seat when back in the warm. There is no fussing over her extra layers and therefore you do not wake the happily sleeping baby who has enjoyed a car ride (every nap is treasured!).

The Baby Hoodie I received is size 1 (0-6 months) and will successfully keep her warm through our chilly British weather until next year. The other sizes they provide are Size 2: 5-18 months and Size 3: 18 months – 4 years. Although time fly’s by when it comes to our little ones, I feel an item that can span a stretch of months and years is definitely worth investing in.

Its also machine washable, which every parent will know is a must with anything baby related and feels really well made.
 

Size 1 retails at £35.95 which is one of the more expensive baby related items but due to its longevity I feel it will definitely be worth it. I am also already considering it as a super gift, especially as there are so many colours and patterns to choose from!
