Cool Monday Giveaway!

I have tried just about everything to get my son to sleep better–and that includes an array of sleep sacks. I went through at least half a dozen brands before I settled on the sleep nest by baby deedee. I think it’s one of the most well-designed sleep sacks available, so I’m excited that we’re giving away two of them this week! — Designed by a Brooklyn mom, the sleep nest is soft and plush (the outer layer is cotton, and inside is duvet quilting), which means that baby is super cozy. Best of all, it’s easy to use. Unlike other sleep sacks where you have to wrangle baby’s limbs through the arm holes, this one snaps over the shoulders, so you can easily slip baby in. There’s also a glow-in-the-dark zipper that makes nighttime diaper changes a cinch. And I love the modern design and colors. My son looks so cute when he sleeps anyway–but even more so in his sleep sack! To enter to win one, please make sure you signed up to follow Born & Bred (in the box a top right) if you haven’t already; and then email us at newyorkfamily@manhattanmedia.com by Friday, April 15 at noon, putting “deedee” in the subject line. To increase your chances, post a comment under one of our previous blog posts or go to deedee’s Facebook page and post your favorite sleep sack color (see colors here). Note: the giveaway is for size medium (6 to 18 months).
