October is SIDS awareness month, and Aden & Anais (you may know them for their popular muslin swaddling blankets!) are proud sponsors of the CJ foundation for SIDS. They have a great PDF flyer with 10 safety tips and one of those tips is to remove loose bedding, and consider a wearable blanket instead.
I received an Aden & Anais slumber, classic muslin sleeping bag. It is a light weight, single layer of muslin, and is available in 8 prints/colors. I received the Jungle Jam elephant print! The sleeping bags are also available in a cozy version, which is 4 layers of muslin.
I chose the size small, which fits up to 6 months, 23-28″ and 10-18 lbs. I love that they are available in sizes up to XL, which fits 18-24 months, 35-40″ and 26-36 lbs. So you can keep your baby safe and cuddly warm, no matter what his age or size.
Muslin’s light, open weave allows your baby’s body to regulate it’s temperature, without getting overheated. They’re breathable and soft, and get softer with every wash.
There’s an extra strip of muslin over the zipper, so you don’t have to worry about it scratching your little one!
The sleeping bags are designed to be worn over pajamas, and zip from the bottom to make diaper changes easier!
My son caught me trying to take some pictures and insisted that his bear model for you (he is used to me snatching his Manni for newborn diaper photos!)
I can’t wait to have a new baby to put in this sleeping bag, and the elephant print will be adorable whether it’s a boy or a girl!!
Giveaway: One winner will receive an Aden & Anais classic sleeping bag in his/her choice of size and print (ARV $32.00) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.
I thought it would be fun to see if you think I’m having a boy or a girl. As you know, we’re expecting baby #3 in December. All 3 have been "surprises." With my daughter, everyone on my husband’s side thought I was having a boy, since there were 5 grand sons and 4 great-grandsons on that side (now there are 7 great-grandsons…my daughter is the only girl!) My side thought it was a girl since they "don’t make boys."
With my son, my sister thought it was a boy, and strangers thought it was a boy, but no one else really knew! We went to a Chinese restaurant and the owner said definitively "It’s a boy." Not "do you know what you’re having?" She was sure, and said it was because I was "all out front." She was right!
This pregnancy hasn’t really been similar enough to either of my pregnancies for me to really know either way. The picture above was taken last week, at 31 weeks, and I think I’m even more "out front" than I was with my son! I initially thought it was a girl, largely because of the timing/charting/whatever that thing is that says XX live longer than XY, but now I’m thinking boy.
It really doesn’t matter either way. I’d love another little boy, but my daughter really wants a sister. If it’s a boy I don’t think any of the baby clothes will work (opposite seasons) and we can’t come up with a boy name!!
For giggles, here’s what I see when I look down:
What do you think? Is it a boy or a girl? 😀

I reviewed my Babykicks Bumboo pocket diaper about 16 months ago, then compared the Bumboo pocket to the new 3G pocket about 7 months ago. I love the Babykicks Joey Bunz one size inserts, especially with the improved tapered end and sizing guidelines. Please view my full Babykicks 3G Pocket Diaper review for all the details and photos!
I also made a video demonstrating how to use the newborn snap. This is one of only a handful of one-size diapers that I think would really work on a newborn!
The 3G pocket is available in 4 great colors, plus the white with multicolored snaps. It’s a trim one-size pocket with a front pocket opening and side snaps, and the snap down rise allows it to fit babies from 7-40 pounds. The waterproof PUL outer has fleece gussets that allow air flow, but not leaks. The lining of the diaper is 30% Certified Organic Cotton and 70% Rayon made from Bamboo, a great choice if you prefer natural materials over microfleece or suedecloth.
The Babykicks 3G pocket diaper retails for $20.50 and is available at lots of online and “brick and mortar” retailers! Be sure to follow Babykicks on Twitter and “like” Babykicks on Facebook.
Giveaway: Babykicks is offering one of my readers a 3G pocket diaper in his/her choice of color (ARV $20.50.) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.
