| My friend gave me one for me son because he wouldn't sleep unless he was wrapped tightly but we never could get him tight enough for his satisfaction. Once we got the swaddle me he started sleeping for longer periods of time. We would swaddle him and lay him on the couch since it was the only place he would sleep for the first 3 months and we wouldnt hear a peep out of him until he was hungry or till his older sister (older by 11 months) would bother him. Were having another baby and will definitely get this again since we gave the first one away. It is way better than the blankets and the little velcro makes it so that it will stay tight until you unwrap your little bundle of joy. It is also a million times easier to swaddle your baby with the swaddle me than with a receiving blanket. |

| My son has been swaddled using the kiddopotamus since birth. We just now stopped using it at 5.5 months. He was sleeping through the night at 2 months and taking great naps. We just wrap him in it and he would fall asleep in seconds. We ended up using both the small and large sizes. He didn't outgrow the weight but got too long for the smalls but the larges worked wonderful as well. |

| My little one loved to be swaddled, but we couldn't swaddle her in the car. She would get so frustrated - frantically crying and turning red - in the car when she wanted to sleep. Now when she gets upset, we use the swaddle me blanket, and she falls right to sleep. She is still safe in her car seat, but also happy! It also works great with all the other S's of "Happiest Baby on the Block" too! |

| I had one of these for my first son, he was a preemie. everyone said, "ohhhh he's a little preemie, he'll sleep better if he's bundled tight, swadddle this swaddle that..." he hated the swaddler. then fat and happy full term baby number two comes..... "oh, big baby's sleep better at night, you won't need to worry about him...." Horrible sleeper, up all night to eat, but LOVED the swaddler!!! Don't listen to what everyone says. the stereotypes are all wrong. Baby might hate this and scream to be free (like my first), or sleep great only when he's in it (like my second....). You won't know unless you try though.... ;) |

| I think the Miracle Blanket is a better bang for the buck, but this is a nice easy solution for new parents. Watch/read "Happiest Baby on the Block" as well. |

| This is easy to use and keeps our little one warm. It was just a little big for the first couple weeks and we needed to fold the top down so it didn't cover her face. Given how much she squirms, the Kiddopotamus does a much better job of keeping her swaddled than a blanket. |

 "Runs very small and not a winner for us!" | 2008-01-21 |

I am useless at swaddling...I could never get it right and conventional blankets do not always lend well to this so based on reviews I bought a bunch of these!
We were so impressed on our first use...it was so easy to use, nice and cozy, very soft...all was well!! We had a calm, happy baby!
But one wash - cold cycle - and it had shrunk significantly!!! Add to that it runs very small indeed! Our little one was less than 6lbs at birth - small is designed for 'birth through three months" according to Kiddopotamus, yet this was good for all of two weeks, after which point it did not even meet the shoulders! So a baby that is born at the average 7lbs may be too big for the newborn size!
It also bobbled up after just one wash making it look old quickly!
It does work well in terms of swaddling, but the quality is simply not there...so if you chose to buy, pick a larger size or maybe look at other brands if you want a quality, lasting product!
Personally we found a sleep sack a better pick and offloaded the rest on ebay rather than even removing them from the pack! |

| This product is pretty easy to use, and baby likes being wrapped up in it. He sleeps soundly for a couple hours at a time (he's only a few weeks old) and I don't have to worry about anything coming undone to block his breathing. Love the price too! |

| This product is like swaddling for dummies! It is great for those who have problems swaddling babies with a traditional blanket. It makes it very easy to calm a screaming baby! |
