| We have been using the Miracle Blanket for our son since his birth three months ago. He's recently entered the stage that he fights being swaddled, but really needs it in order to get a good night's sleep. He started to kick and squirm his way out of the Miracle Blanket and he couldn't fall back to sleep - plus that meant a loose blanket in his crib, which makes me nervous. (And I am the Queen of tight swaddles, so it wasn't too loose...) This blanket stays put - and if our son does squirm his way out of it, the blanket remains velcroed shut and wrapped around his mid-section. I don't have to worry about a loose blanket up around his face. I'm buying another one tomorrow! |

| I have tried numerous swaddles and this works the best, especially with bigger babies. The minute I wrapped my son in this he fell asleep. The velcro made it so easy to swaddle! Don't waste your money on anything else! |

These swaddlers are a wonderful and safe way to keep your baby warm. Without the risk of them getting bunched up in blankets. This large one fits my 5 month old daughter, but she doesn't like being swaddled anymore, and wiggles out of it, but it is a great thing to have for newborns.
I don't recommend this for babies over 4 months, since they're so active and barely keep still in one. It is GREAT for newborns. |

| We've been using the small version and just moved up in size. We've been swaddling all along, and using this instead of blankets is much faster, easier, and more secure. Our little guy is 4 months old now, and I bet we'll continue to swaddle for a few more months, mostly for naps at this point. It's great for when he's overstimulated or fighting sleep - helps him calm right down. |

| I bought 2 of these last year, one in microfleece and another in flannel. I encountered the same problem with both. My chief complaint is the velcro fastener for 2 reasons. Firstly, it's irritatingly loud. Whenever I unfastened it to change my baby's diaper (even when I do it very gingerly) it often startled him into wakefulness. Secondly, the velcro lost it's sticking power after about a month's use and this made swaddling impossible. For my next baby, I think I'm going to invest my money in the Miracle Blanket...it's a lot pricier but it may be worth it. We'll see. |

| After reading "The Happiest Baby on the Block" we knew that we wanted to swaddle our son at night but weren't completely comfortable doing so with blankets that could come undone and present a hazard. We decided to try one of these despite the fact that other parents told us they didn't work well. They have been wonderful for us! When my son started to outgrow the small size, we decided to try the Miracle Blanket next. It was such a pain to take on and off and to re-wrap him in when changing him in the middle of the night. We then ordered more of the SwaddleMe's in the large size and haven't used anything else since. My son sleeps in this every night and only rarely is able to get an arm out...and even when he does get an arm out, there is no danger because the SwaddleMe is still velcroed up. I strongly recoomend this product and don't know what I would do without it! |

| I have a baby who prefers to be swaddled and this holds and washes easily. The fleece is great for winter, they make a cotton one for warmer weather. I really like the design, it's simple and easy to use for a sleepy baby that your trying to get to bed. Not complicated at all. |

Let's face it, you have a newborn and tons of dresses, etc. Do you really need them? Don't think so, as mostly it's a wrap you will be having, etc. Now, the problem with wraps is that invariably the legs "shoot" out, sooner or later, the blankets get tangled and there's a pronounced risk of SIDS due to suffocation. On these aspects, this product is a life-saver. The velcro tags get attached wonderfully and tucks the legs in too. The baby also loves it as there's no creases, etc. which is pitching him/her somewhere. A HIGHLY recommended product.
There are 2 sizes - big and small. They do have a difference. I think the small suffices till 3 or 4 months. The big's not required much since by that time you'll need to figure out if your baby likes/dislikes such wraps, or prefers clothes, etc. etc. Don't try to use the big on a newborn though. It's too big and the newborn will effectively "swim" inside!! Finally, the velcro tabs won't fit and thus you'll have troble attaching them. |

| I bought this for my 5 month old son, who is big for his age. He still loved to be swaddled, but it was hard to find a blanket to keep him wrapped up all night. The Kiddopotamus works great. He stays warm and snug. I don't have to worry about him coming unswaddled and having a blanket in his face. A great product for a reasonable cost. |
