There’s something about a swaddled baby that makes a mama happy.

Could it be that the baby is calm, quiet and sleepy? Sure, that all helps. But what we think mamas love best is that baby looks absolutely adorable.

And the new Organic Cotton Swaddle Blankets ($30) by Honeydumplings will have your baby looking cuter than ever — in the greenest possible way.

Made in Canada, the company’s baby products are designed with 100 percent organic materials, which means your baby will be wrapped in nothing but the best.

We also love the Buckwheat Baby Mat ($88, above), a buckwheat hull-filled mat with a super-soft bamboo cover.

Things are heating up in Christy Turlington Burns‘ household.

Having been raised in a family of three girls, the model was hopeful the boy/girl dynamic of her children with Ed Burns — daughter Grace, 7½, and son Finn, 5 — would keep the sibling squabbles to a minimum; However, Turlington Burns is the first to admit she couldn’t have been more mistaken.

“It’s constant. Just walking by him — she just can’t help it and he adores her,” she told PEOPLE at the Divalysscious Moms & Moms & The City Mother’s Day Luncheon.

“He thinks that she is everything so it’s a little frustrating, but I also know that it’s part of being a kid and everyone goes through that.”

And although the “fighting and crying” is “hard” on the mother-of-two, she admits, “For the most part they love each other, but they’re just kids.”
