The Smith Swaddle Blanket

Yet another little invention. Why don't you see zip up swaddle blankets? I figure it may be due to the choking risk. But.... if you sew a sleeper into a lycra sleeping bag, it won't shift around. The baby stays swaddled and voila! You have a break free proof swaddle blanket. Now, granted - Little Man loves his hands out, so I don't zip his all the way up. Not the prettiest sewing design, as it was my prototype and I did have a two year old helper as well. But, I think it's a good start!
Unzip it and it looks like this with the sleeper sewn into it. A little bonus of a super hero look.
Only two seams inside. One tacking the necks together and the other down the back to keep the sleeper from shifting around inside the bag. One of these days maybe I will patent some of these things. But for now, that just seems like a lot of work.

I love it! Perhaps there is also a market for an adolescent version...
