Hey, it’s October (I’m still trying to figure out what happened to September…), and that means it’s SIDS Awareness Month. This isn’t exactly a happy fun topic, but it’s an important one. I remember when my kids were babies, and it seemed like there were all these rules for things to do to reduce SIDS risk, but I was often left wondering if any of it really mattered.
Of course, new parents today have all kinds of great products at their disposal that didn’t exist back when I had babies. Like the gunapod, a soft, wearable, convertible blanket. I remember having a “sleep sack” for my son and he hated it—it wasn’t very soft, and I think it just made him too hot. But the gunapod is the ultimate wearable blanket; soft, cozy, can be zipped up like a sack or left open below for ventilation and foot freedom. Best of all, it’s a snuggly way to keep baby warm without risking a blanket winding up on baby’s face.
One lucky Want Not reader is going to win a gunapod! Interested? First, go check ’em out: Visit their website to learn more, and check out their color and size options, and you can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter. Then, review my contest rules and regulations. And finally—after you do all of that—come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, October 6th, 2011, telling me what size/color combo you’d like to receive to be entered for a chance to win. I’ll determine the winner via random number generation.
Ready? Go!

Too bad – FB is not my friend.
Since I am having #4 (the final chapter) and this kid is bound to have nothing of his or her own, I am going to go for the chocolate color in the small size. That is, if I win. If I don’t, I’ll probably just wrap him or her in paper towels or my microfiber car cloth. You know, something warm and relatively absorbent.
Haha – Em above me is so funny! I’ll be boring and say 9-18 months in chocholate. My tiny one is freezing. What is this GA weather?

We love our sleep sacks!! my only complaint is why don’t any of these things have arms?? My baby’s arms get cold too!! We would love a chocolate one in large!
Medium chocolate, though I wish they had a size chart with the length for each size – my kid is freakishly long, and while we looooove our sleep sacks, he is rapidly growing out of them. 🙂
