Product Description
Pediatricians recommend swaddling to comfort and soothe newborns, but loose blankets are difficult to keep snug. SwaddleMe wings have Velcro tabs, to wrap up your newborn and stay comfortably in place. As baby grows, wings readjust for a perfect fit. SwaddleMe wings are easily opened to prevent overheating, and the leg pouch can be popped down for a quick diaper checking or changing. SwaddleMe can also be used in the car seat, simply insert car seat harnesses through the access slits!

 Nice blanket, but... November 4, 2005

When preparing to have our first child I bought one of each kind of swaddle, not knowing what we would like the best. We've also tried the standard 'receiving' blanket and some nice stretchy ones. This one we liked the least. My baby wiggles a lot when settling for sleep and every time she moved she would hear the velcro coming apart a little and it would bother her. She had a very hard time falling asleep in it. The Miracle blanket works best for her because it does a better job at keeping her arms down than others and doesn't have noisy velcro on it. I've also tried the sleep sacks. As she's getting more and more arm control I'm finding that she is slowly liking the "Halo Sleep Sack" better, but at night she still needs her arms confined. I also like the sleep sack idea because it is only one layer of blanket (where this SwaddleMe is two in the front when closed. The other thing I didn't like about the SwaddleMe or the Miracle Blanket is that with my baby's wiggling she invariably ends up with a gap between the feet sack and the top part and since we tend to use t-shirts rather than onsies her belly gets exposed and cold. So, I wouldn't recommend this for an active, noise sensitive baby.
 Good for tiny babies, but not big ones... August 2, 2005

It's a very cute blanket (especially the teddy bear velcro tabs!), but as another reviewer has stated, it shrinks in the wash. My big 9-lb boy used it maybe two or three times before he didn't fit in it anymore. I finally put him in the large SwaddleMe today and he fits just fine (11 lbs, 23 inches long).
 So much better than the Miracle Blanket April 16, 2006

We bought this one first and it worked very well until my son outgrew it. So I decided to try the Miracle Blanket since it can be used for bigger babies.... I hated!! It is very difficult to wrap it around it and he does not sleep as well. So I decided to buy the next size up of the SwaddleMe blanket instead, peace again.
I returning the other blanket, at $30 a pop not worth it. This is much cheaper and it works much better
How we got her to sleep through the night September 23, 2005

We love the swaddle me blankets. We have the flannel and the fleece. This has helped us with getting our daughter to sleep through the night (in just two weeks of using them). She loves to be swaddled but is very strong and would wiggle out and then wake up and need to be swaddled again. With the velcro she is less able to get out of the swaddle and feels safe and secure and sleeps longer.
The fleece has a little more stretch to it and is easier to use but the flannel is a little lighter weight for the summer so not to overheat. Have not tried the cotton ones.
Definitely worth a try!

I love this Item. It was a life saver. At around 4-6 weeks, my baby would only sleep if held or laying on his side next to me after breastfeeding. Since it's impossible to hold a baby all night and laying next to me on his side was a "No, No" for SIDS, I was looking for something that could help me get him to sleep in his bassinet on his back as is suggested to prevent SIDS. I had tried swaddling my baby in blankets, but after a few weeks he had figured out how to get out of it. I also didn't like that he could undo the blanket and it was loose around his face, another "no, no" for SIDS. So I bought these swaddle Me blankets that fasten easily with velcro. And shortly after we started using the Swaddle me's, he started sleeping through the night, occasionally waking up for a 15 minute feeding (which I keep him swaddled for) and then he falls right back to sleep and I carefully pick him up and put him back in the bassinett for the rest of the night. He's 4 months old now and we're still using them.... Buy a few, because if we wets himself, which boys do a lot, you'll need another one to switch him into.
