Friday Giveaway Linky Giveaways Linky

Cloth Diaper Giveaways – Roundup for 3/30/12 (Plus Linky for All Giveaways)

Cloth Diaper Giveaway Roundup

Friday already, and that means another cloth diaper giveaway roundup! Each week, I find and list giveaways for cloth diapers, accessories & baby wearing items.

If you’d like me to list your cloth diaper, accessory, baby wearing (etc.) giveaway next week, send a link and description to maria at change-diapers.com, or Fill out my contact form for readers.

Even if you don’t have a current giveaway right now, send me your blog link. When GFC was removed from non blogger blogs, I lost a lot of the blogs I followed to find & list giveaways. I tried to add them all to my Google reader, but many aren’t appearing. While you’re at it, check your feed & make sure it’s working, I’ve run into some Feedburner feed errors on some people’s blogs lately, and I can’t subscribe if your feed isn’t working!

Apparel & Accessories Baby Products Giveaway Review

Swaddle Designs Angry Birds Baby Products Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 4/10) US/Canada

swaddledesigns 1

In case you missed my Swaddle Designs review last year, we love their swaddling blankets. They are soft & cozy & plenty big enough for a snug swaddle. We swaddled my son constantly in the first few weeks, at at night until he was nearly 11 weeks old. We had to buy extras so we’d never be without one!

Swaddle Designs now has adorable Angry Birds Baby Products! They have long & short sleeved bodysuits with a large or small bird, in blue, yellow or red, from 0-3 to 6-12 months. They also have Ultimate Receiving Blankets, Marquisette Blankets, Swaddle Duos, zzZip Me sacks, lovies, burpies and gift sets!

I received the short-sleeved 3″ red bird bodysuit in 3-6 months and the multi-bird marquisette swaddling blanket.

Even my husband commented about how nice the bodysuit is. It’s nice and thick, well made and sturdy, which I can’t say about a lot of baby clothing.

The blanket is cute, soft and lightweight, perfect for swaddling, playtime and covering a stroller in warmer weather!
