On Cloud Nine

Cloud B LullaBags and LullaWraps

Swaddling helps babies sleep (or so you’ve been told). But that’s a challenge for you, Ms. All Thumbs.

Cloud B’s LullaBags and LullaWraps make tucking in little ones easy.

The LullaWrap — in soft cotton pointelle or flannel — is an oversize receiving blanket that keeps the body at a constant temperature. In a mere three steps — fold, tuck, secure — your infant (1-6 months) will be in a cozy cocoon.

The LullaBag, meanwhile, has a dual-head zipper that zips — and unzips — around Baby (1-18 months), making diaper or clothing changes a snap.

Sweet dreams are made of these.

Available at Twinkle Star Boutique, 703 Broadway, Somerville (617-776-2340 or shoptwinklestar.com). To see styles, go to cloudb.com.
