A recent article in Pediatrics* concluded that babies who sleep in swaddling wraps get twice as much REM sleep and sleep longer than other babies.The researchers used a very lightweight swaddle blanket to tightly wrap the babies. They also concluded that swaddling makes is easier to place babies on their backs, which studies have shown to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
Another recent study in JAMA** (the Journal of the American Medical Association) further concluded that babies sleeping in 2 or more layers of clothing (excluding a diaper) had more than a 6 fold increase in the risk of SIDs. This study also recommended swaddling babies in a lightweight blanket. The Solana Swaddle Wrap™ conforms to these current Physician Recommendations.

The Solana 100% cotton, soft and thin baby swaddle blankets are designed to comfort babies without overheating them. They are also made large enough to ensure a secure swaddle for either a small or big baby.
Because their fabrics are so breathable, you can still feel the shape of your baby throught the wrap. This allows you to not only get a good grip but your baby can also feel the warmth and comfort of your arms and hands as you hold them. In hot climates and during the summertime, Solana swaddle blanket allows you to be able to wrap your baby without the concern of overheating. Use a lightweight onesie or just a diaper to make sure your baby is as comfortable as possible. During any other time of the year, The Solana Swaddle Wrap is perfect for layering.
Moms are also using Solana blankets as bugscreens or sunshades over strollers and carseats. Pool or beachside as a light towel. The fabrics dry very quickly and are perfectly soft for baby's skin. Also, at bath time. Wrap baby in a swaddle to give them a sense of security while washing their hair. Great for a tummy time blanket and as a light sheet on a warm night.
Solana swaddle wraps are wonderfully light and generous in size. I love mine. I chose the polka dot one. Perfect for a Summer baby :)
The packaging was simple and cute. The product info and swaddling instructions are very through. You can tell that Solana is passionate about what they do.
Solana Babywear™ promotes the methods of Dr. Harvey Karp, a pediatrician who advocates swaddling for at least the first 4 months of life (what he calls the 'fourth trimester'). Dr. Karp has made a DVD demonstrating his unique and highly effective technique which incorporates 'the calming reflex', along with swaddling, noise and motion to soothe and quiet a fussy baby.
