Swaddle Love is an entertaining and practical guide full of candid storytelling
and heartwarming humour, that explores the history, science, and techniques of swaddling.
It's a joyful celebration of babies, parenthood, and sleeping eight hours a night.
In 2003, pregnant with her first daughter, Raegan Moya-Jones began an unforgettable
journey. From Aussie emigrant and anxious mother-to-be, to business entrepreneur,
and now author of the quintessential book on swaddling, Raegan's path has been peppered
with successes and challenges, laughter and tears, but most of all, it has been
traveled with passion.
"If you've ever been faced with an inconsolable newborn, you realize the value of
swaddling. It seems like magic, but of course makes perfect sense: a baby is held
quite snugly in the womb for months, and there is great comfort in returning to
that. Raegan Moya-Jones is known for the beautiful blankets everyone wants, and
now with Swaddle Love gives us a practical and passionate guide -- not only how
to swaddle but also why to swaddle. It's a book that makes a parent's life easier
and a baby's more soothing." -

"Swaddle Love helps parents understand the swaddle's vital role in helping young
babies feel calm and secure – essential ingredients for getting a good night's rest." -

"Mother Goose rhymed about it. Hippocrates taught it to his students. It helped
a tiny tot in a Bethlehem manger get his first night of sleep. Even though it's
been practiced by countless cultures for thousands of years, swaddling has become
a lost art. All that's changing thanks to Raegan Moya-Jones, the Raphael of the
swaddling renaissance. Swaddle love illustrates what every parent needs to know:
swaddling helps babies sleep soundly and for longer periods of time, and fosters
that vital connection between parent and child. For the countless moms and dads
who have seen 4:15 a.m. on the bedside clock one too many times, swaddle love -
and a half dozen muslin wraps - just might change their lives." -
