 For once, the word "MIRACLE" is appropriate! February 3, 2007

I must admit that in the past I haven't had the best luck with products containing "miracle" in their name. However, this blanket is the shining exception!
Our son was a very big boy -- 10 lb, 6 oz of joy. We had read Harvey Karp's "The Happiest Baby on the Block" (highly recommended) and we knew we wanted to swaddle him. We had planned to use a receiving blanket, but we quickly found out that none of them were remotely big enough. Not even close. We spent a ton of money buying bigger blankets, and we tried two other expensive swaddling blankets as well. Nothing worked, nothing held the baby, and all three of us were desperate to get some sleep. We even bought a cheap sheet set and tore it up to get some bigger patches of cloth. No dice.
Finally, I ordered this blanket online (Amazon didn't carry it at the time, alas.) BINGO -- our son slept through the night at once! Yes! We had to wake him from a sound, swaddled sleep to change and feed him; he went back down like a rock as soon as we re-swaddled him. He loved this blanket. When he saw us coming with it, he'd try to lie quietly with his arms in his sides in anticipation of the (very simple) process of swaddling him up. And I loved the fact that this blanket was so soft and comforting and had no snaps or any other fasteners that could rub him.
I should mention that the two new parents I gave this to as a shower gift were pathetically grateful, and couldn't stop gushing. I understand; for a new parent, anything that grants you sleep is your favorite thing in the world.
A note to parents considering this blanket: Be prepared for some of your friends (especially the childless ones) to recoil in horror at the thought of swaddling. "You're tying your baby up?" "What if he suffocates?" "But he won't be able to move! It's cruel!", etc., etc. These people probably mean well, but their comments are very ignorant. The fact is, your baby has just spent months in the most confined space imaginable -- a womb where he could barely budge at all. And new parents will immediately notice that newborn babies have virtually no control over their newly freed arms -- they'll startle themselves from sleep time and again, then start flailing their hands around and scratching their faces raw. Newborns don't have the neurological control to stop themselves from flailing, so they love it when you return them to the safe, warm, familiar confinement they remember from the womb.
Another comment you'll hear from some people is, "How do you know when the baby doesn't need to be swaddled any more?" Easy. They start to wriggle out of the swaddling. They may not be able to talk, but they'll let you know clearly when they're ready to move on.
Truly a miracle. September 14, 2006

This product is on our list of "must-haves". I've tried a million different methods of swaddling with a regular blanket but after an hour (at most!) our son wriggled his way out of it. And once their arms are out, they wake themselves up constantly.
Swaddled in this blanket he's never gotten his arms out, even though it's not wrapped overly tightly. And since their legs can be wrapped in our not, it helps with babies that get too hot or too cold.
The "miracle" of this blanket is two extra pieces of material inside that go over their arms and then under their backs. Having seen this I tried doing it with a regular blanket with some success, but it's just never quite right.
So cry once and spend the $$. Yes, it's a little expensive for such a small amount of fabric but inovation isn't always cheap -- and in this case, it's worth it.

The Miracle Wrap is such a simple idea but it works wonders. I originally received a Swaddle Me wrap by Kiddopotamus as a gift and my son who was only 6 weeks old at the time would break out of it repeatedly so a friend recommended the Miracle Wrap. So far he has not been able to break out of this one and due to the ingenious design I know he never will. Be prepared for the fact that it looks a bit like a straightjacket. It has been the topic of many jokes in my family. But it works!
THE ONLY Swaddle blanket that works for us! July 27, 2007

We have tried the Swaddle Me, the Swaddle Blanket, and the Miracle Blanket. The ONLY one our daughter (now two - she used it for about 3 months) and now our 2 month old son does not break out of is the Miracle Blanket.
ADVANTAGES
* Works differently than others - holds arms at side with two "flaps" that tuck under the body (uses body weight), and then a longer piece wraps around the baby. The end result is a very tight but comfortable looking coocoon that works!
* NO VELCRO - The velcro on the Swaddle Me kept waking our daughter up!
* Keeps them warm with nothing else required.
DISADVANTAGES
* The part that swaddles the bottom half of the body sometimes come loose - you have to make sure that you wrap the blanket around the lower half o the body REALLY well!
* Nothing else we can think of
perfect! March 21, 2007

I started my son from birth with a SwaddleMe blanket, but when he reached 12 lbs. he was too big for the small size and too small for the large size. So I Had to try a different brand and this one had such great reviews. No wonder! It will fit any size baby and it really does stay put even without velcro. I wish I had spent my first $30 on one of these instead of three SwaddleMe's (the velcro gives out quickly). My son, now three months old, loves his blankie! Don't waste your money on any other brand.
