Product Description
The SwaddleMe provides the simplest way to swaddle with soft fabric wings that hug your baby close. A leg pouch pops down for quick diaper changes while leaving baby comfortably swaddled. As baby grows, wings adjust for a customized fit. Swaddling soothes infants by recreating the comforting snugness of the womb and new research shows that swaddling may help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when babies are on their backs. Pediatricians recommend swaddling to soothe and comfort newborns, helping them sleep better and also to help reduce colic. A percentage of each SwaddleMe sold is donated to First Candle / SIDS Alliance to help babies survive and thrive. Size small designed for babies 6 to 18 lbs or 19 to 26 inches. Also available in size large for babies 16 to 25 lbs or 26 to 31 inches.

 Swaddling simplified May 16, 2005

This wrap really does make it easier to swaddle your baby - moreover, it makes it harder for the swaddling to come undone, saving you time and effort. At such a reasonable price, it's worth getting two so you'll always have a clean one on hand. One thing to note about size: We have both a fleece wrap and a cotton wrap. Even though they're both the same size, the fleece wrap is a bit smaller than the cotton wrap, especially in terms of the "wings." We use the fleece wrap at the very end of the velcro tabs on my daughter now (she weighs 11 pounds), while with the cotton wrap there is still plenty of room for when she gets bigger. Lengthwise, though, they're about the same, and at 22 1/2 inches, she can now kick her legs out of the wraps if she really tries.
Protect The Velcro October 4, 2006

When my daughter was born, I didn't know about swaddling, and it would take me HOURS to get her to sleep! I would feed or rock her in my arms until she falls asleep, then put her in her crib... and she'd flail her arms, wake up and cry, and I had to start all over! What a nightmare!
Then I figured out that since her arms wake her, it would make sense to wrap her in something so she couldn't move them as much... so I started wrapping her in regular receiving blankets. It worked! It became much easier to get her to sleep. But then she wiggled out of those receiving blankets and wake up again.
When she was a little over a month old, somehow I came across SwaddleMe blankets on the Internet and immediately bought it. It worked like a charm! It was so easy to wrap my daughter in it, and it stayed put. My daughter started sleeping so much better!
I wish I found those blankets sooner - it would've saved me from so many sleepless nights!
Some reviewers mentioned that the velcro doesn't work well - they probably dried it in a dryer... I did it with one of those blankets, and the velcro started coming undone more easily. To protect the velcro, you need to hang them to dry instead of using the dryer.
I consider this blanket one of the most important baby items you could buy. It should be a must for a new mother who wants to get some sleep!

What will they think of next? I absolutely love this product. The lightweight, soft, 100% cotton material is a great alternative to the heavier fleece for the warmer months. The neutral green color is wonderful for both boys and girls. It is easy to use and baby stays snuggly wrapped much better than the traditional recieving blanket. Mom and Dad can rest assured that your precious little one will feel safe and secure in the "swaddle me".
 Don't fall for this cheap knockoff January 10, 2006

This product is a cheap knockoff of the Miracle Blanket, and is not worth the savings! Let me tell you why.
I bought and used this product for my newborn daughter. As soon as we brought her home, we found out that she liked to be swaddled, like most newborns. BUT this product did not swaddle her even close to tightly enough. The point of swaddling is it immobilizes their arms and hugs them snuggly. This product loosely wrapped her so her arms were flailing about inside, and eventually she worked her hands and arms out. So I wrapped her tighter with it, but then the fabric stretched way beyond the velcro. So, I had to use safety pins to keep the thing around her! Talk about freaky with those sharp pins around my baby. (This is a normal-sized baby, born at 7 1/2 lbs., and I was using the newborn size.) By the time she grew to where the velcro was getting even CLOSE to where I needed it to be, she had outgrown the thing height-wise!
So I bought a Miracle Blanket, which is over twice as expensive, and it is AWESOME. Worth every penny. This thing wraps your baby up nice and tight at any size, never any need for safety pins, and they stay wrapped up tight until you unwrap them. Plus, you don't have to buy 2 or 3 different sizes like you do with the SwaddleMe, so think about that when comparing prices.
Bottom line is, you get what you pay for. I am a firm believer in swaddling because when our daughter is swaddled, she sleeps like a rock in between feedings, and when she is not swaddled she fusses a lot at night. Every parent of a newborn should have a Miracle Blanket, and no one should waste their money on this cheap knockoff that is sure to disappoint.
