MiracleBlanket.Com Joins Forces with Operation Special Delivery

MiracleBlanket.com, maker of the Amazing Miracle Blanket, joins CAPPA's Operation Special Delivery that provides emotional and physical support to military wives before and after birth while dad is deployed.

(PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- Announcing the birth of a joint task force as The Amazing Miracle Blanket® partners in sponsorship of CAPPA’s Operation Special Delivery (OSD) with the donation of limited edition camouflage Miracle Blankets. The highly valued OSD labor doula program provides volunteer labor doulas to military wives during wartime as they welcome newborns while dad is on deployment.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have the backing of The Miracle Blanket Company as we support our troops and their families who are already sacrificing so much,” said OSD Director and CAPPA doula Val Staples. “I can’t imagine a better tool than the Miracle Blanket as it will offer tremendous relief and comfort for these new moms who, after the stress of giving birth, will be handling the load of caring for their baby without the support of their partner.” To learn more please go to our site www.miracleblanket.com or to www.operationspecialdelivery.com.

Indeed duty calls around-the-clock for these solo moms. The non-stop diaper changes, feedings, spit-ups and the oh-so-deafening, sometimes non-stop cries of a fussy or colicky newborn can break even the strongest mother’s will. But armed with parenting know-how as offered by OSD labor doulas and now The Miracle Blanket, these moms will be better prepared to go at it alone until dad comes home. While doulas will lend emotional, physical and mental support before and during delivery, The Miracle Blanket® will help mom and baby get the rest they need to empower mom to care for her newborn more easily. As recommended by hundreds of pediatricians, doulas, OBGYN’s and tens-of-thousands of parents around the world, The Miracle Blanket offers the most effective way to calm a fussy or colicky infant allowing mom and dad, or just mom in this case, to get some much needed rest.

“I couldn’t imagine a better fit as we’re always looking for meaningful ways to thank these incredible men and women for the sacrifices they make for our country every day,” said Michael Gatten, creator and owner of Jaydler Limited, parent company of The Miracle Blanket. “To work with an outstanding organization like CAPPA and at the same time to be helping out our troops is truly a great honor indeed.”

And it’s not just any Miracle Blanket these moms will be using. In honor of their solo-mission they’ll be using a special, limited edition Miracle Blanket designed just for them. At the request of CAPPA, the Miracle Blanket Company produced a special, limited edition, baby-colored camouflage blanket that will be donated to these deserving families. Also, a limited number of additional camo Miracle Blankets are being made available for sale to the public on the company’s web site at www.MiracleBlanket.com with proceeds going to help OSD’s efforts to support military families.

Jaydler Ltd. is a privately held corporation based in Medford, Oregon. Michael D. Gatten formed the company in early 2002 to produce and distribute the Miracle Blanket®. Primary distribution is via the Internet, as well as through pediatric offices, maternity wards and select childcare professionals. Sales have spread throughout the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa, Switzerland, Canada and Australia, as well as in Japan and the Philippines on U.S. military bases. www.MiracleBlanket.com.
