If you can't pick up a pair of these from the hospital, have somebody pick some up from the store for you. They are a lifesaver and they last a long time.

We bought one of these second hand and our baby loves it. He loves standing while supported so it gives us time to do a load of dishes, etc, while he entertains himself and gets a bit of exercise.

So easy to swaddle with this, and the fleece is nice and soft and stretchy, even after lots of washes. The baby sleeps much better swaddled, even at 5 months.
