MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BreathableBaby®, a child safety products company and maker of the award winning Breathable Mesh Crib Liner™, is proud to introduce the BreathableSack™ Wearable Blanket, designed to keep baby dry and comfortable while helping reduce the risks of overheating and suffocation, which are often associated with overdressing and/or loose blankets in the crib.
Designed for maximum comfort, the BreathableSack Wearable Blanket is comprised of the most technologically advanced material and retracts moisture away from baby 10 times better than the leading brand.1 The BreathableSack Wearable Blanket is available now at Babies“R”Us stores nationwide.
“The American Academy of Pediatrics and leading safety organizations warn parents against using soft, loose bedding in cribs. The BreathableSack Wearable Blanket is the perfect solution for parents who want to keep their baby safe, comfortable and dry throughout the day and night,” said BreathableBaby founder, Susan Waters. “And we know this is an important feature of wearable blankets because we conducted extensive focus group sessions with parents and listened to their needs when developing the BreathableSack.”
The BreathableSack Wearable Blanket, available in sizes small and medium, comes in kiwi, pink and blue colors with sweet and simple matching embroideries on the front, with ample room for baby’s legs to move around. The two zipper pulls allow for bottom up or top down access, and the zipper cover keeps baby’s neck protected from the zipper itself.
In addition to the risks associated with loose blankets in a baby’s crib, parenting experts, child product safety organizations and the American Academy of Pediatrics warn parents about the importance of not allowing your baby to overheat. Overheating is considered a leading cause of SIDS (http://www.firstcandle.org/?s=overheating#A4). This is especially important to remember in the winter months when parents often over-bundle their newborns to keep them warm.
BreathableBaby’s product line of breathable baby safety products is affordable and accessible to parents nationwide. BreathableBaby products are designed to address the risks of suffocation, entanglement and overheating.
