Swaddle Me! Project

What is Swaddle Me!  Swaddle Me is a new initiative to reach every new parent in Anchorage and welcome their new baby to our community.  The vision of the project is to give parents a little gift and information on important resources they may need during the first year of their baby’s life and beyond.  The thought is that we want parents in Anchorage to know we are excited for their baby and are here to help if they need us.  Many of us are under the impression that parents receive many items from the hospital when they have a baby but currently, there is no standardized set of information given to new parents.

Vision: All new parents have information on developmental milestones, resources in our community, and information to help them with their new baby. 

How does it work?

PIC is facilitating Swaddle Me with other partners to ensure all new parents have information to help them with their new baby.  The information provided in the gifts is as follows:

• Milestone Moments booklets-developmental milestones from birth to five years

• Grow up Healthy-growth chart with immunization, developmental milestones, and height chart

• Social Emotional development wheel for birth to 3 years

• Safe sleep information on updated recommendations from APA

• 211 Information-Health insurance access

• Thread-childcare resources

• Magnet with Early Intervention contact information

• Help Me Grow-Baby's Busy Day Book

• Baby swaddle blanket

• Interactive cards-information on the following:

  • How to swaddle

  • Sleep

  • Feeding

  • Tummy time

  • Introducing solid food

  • Postpartum depression

  • Positive parenting

  • Screen time

  • Digital Baby Book for parents to record milestones, photos, and memories.

The gifts will be distributed through local hospitals and birthing centers, so every parent receives the gift.
