You should now see $40 taken off of your total as well as Free Shipping.

Your shock of brown hair with the unmistakable swirl in the middle of your forehead. A dimple in each cheek, just like daddy. Dark brown eyes that resembled my morning cup of coffee. Tiny fingers, tiny toes. Skin so soft it was like touching a cloud. You were mine and I was yours. I was instantly in love so deep and nothing would ever be the same. The day you were born there was another birth that took place. My own. I was re-born into motherhood and I was given a new name; Mom.

Even though today I am the one that is supposed to be showered with attention, I am celebrating you, my child. I thank the Lord for you everyday.

May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice! Proverbs 23:25

Aside from the points above, here are 5 more reasons why your little bumpkin needs a Perfect Swaddler of his or her own;

1) Every mom will tell you that one of the most frustrating parts of getting a good swaddle on baby is that somehow they manage to break their arms free from the swaddle and disturb their sleep. Perfect Swaddlers’ generous size allows you to get the blanket right around baby to keep their arms down and keep them calm.

2) Many people don’t realize but flannel is actually a year-round fabric. Cotton is very breathable and absorbent making it perfect for summer sleeping when a light blanket will do the trick.

3) Flannel is one of those great fabrics that holds on to familiar scents that baby loves, giving her comfort.

4) Their bright, vibrant prints make them a great blanket to put down for baby’s tummy time.

5) Because of their generous size – measuring approximately 40″ x 40″ with two meters of high quality, designer flannel going into one blanket – they not only make great swaddling blankets when baby is small but they also make great grow-with-me blankets too. A great example of this is the little guy pictured was only about 3 months old in that picture. He’s now 20 months and still snuggling with it!  They’re the perfect size for any crib or toddler bed.

**BONUS reason why your baby needs a Perfect Swaddler of their own – Because at their new lower price, you could maybe even have 2!

Every baby is unique with their own personality and character – just like the Perfect Swaddler! Shouldn’t your baby have one to call their own?

The last 2 months have been a whirlwind of madness through this house. Mid-November brought on a bout of Strep for the whole family and with Strep comes antibiotics. Boo. My intentions for December, more particularly Christmas break, were to relax and step back from the business and allow myself some time to renew my creative process. Instead, I was stressed because I had become so far behind with the previous months illness.

No sooner have Christmas holidays finished and the kids start back to school then we all get sick again. Strep again. This strep infection was very different from the last one, however. My oldest daughter and I ended up with Scarlet Fever! So, another round of antibiotics and we’re all on the mend. An interesting fact to note is that here in Canada penicillin tablets are unavailable almost everywhere. I ended up having to take the liquid form instead. I’m pretty sure that the flavour on the side of the bottle is ‘Strawberry Flavoured Hell’. That’s what this stuff tastes like. Awful.

So, today I resolve to get back to business and start tackling this mountain of sewing. I am motivated to get new product out to all of you as I have promised. I fully intend to send out numerous emails that I have been meaning to send for weeks now. I am back in the land of the living. But first, we have coffee.

Original Suckie Babies got their name not because OpinO Baby claims that we invented the soother clip. That would be silly! But because it is how we originally made them. Our design moved from fabric, to printed grosgrain ribbon, back to fabric but with a new and improved design that was sure to hold up to anything! They further evolved from having a snap closure that only accommodated certain kinds of soothers to a universal loop that can hold not only a soother but small toys, snacks cups, sippy cups…well, you get the idea!

Original Suckie Babies have been a crowd pleaser and a best seller for OpinO Baby since their inception in 2007. But now, it’s time to say goodbye to the old way of doing things and welcome the new and improved 2G Original Suckie Babies!

Currently you will find all remaining stock of Original Suckie Babies on sale for 25% off in the online store. Get yours now because once they’re gone, they’re gone!
