Best swaddlerOct 29, 2009
I was actually disappointed that I didn't try this sooner. I think LO was 3wks and I was getting close to losing my sanity since all he would do is either undoe my wrapping or startle himself awake. He would cry non-stop all night (this also had to do with gas) and by morning he was a perfect angel.The night bringing it home it was a complete 360. He slept the whole night! I woke up an hr after one of his clockwork feedings and it scared me that he hadn't make a peep. I even got out of bed to make sure he was still breathing. He ended up sleeping 9hrs that night!! I now give these as baby shower presents and I'm happy to do so.
The only thing I did not like was the sizing. My baby was on the large size (9lbs 21 1/4in. at birth). He was able to use the small cotton swaddler for maybe 2wks due to the length. Thankfully I had a large on hand but it was REALLY big for quite some time. Really wish the company would have made mediums!
We also could not use fleece or flannel. It was too hard getting a secure and snug wrap on the fleece from the bulk and the flannel actually washed pretty roughly and was super tiny.
Good swaddle blanket for a newbornOct 25, 2009
My son was colicky and swaddling really helped. This blanket worked well for him in the first month or so of his life, but then he got stronger and started breaking free of it. We moved up to the miracle blanket which is alot more secure with no velcro.
kinda bigOct 20, 2009
I think this is a great product. I probably just prefer to swaddle my baby really tight. You can only swaddle the baby to certain point, because of where the velcro is placed. I wanted to swaddle him tight enough so that he could slide his arms out, but the product wouldn't let me. He's still a newborn, only about 10 pounds and this was the smallest size they had, so it's not like I could get a smaller size for him. Good product, but if you're wanting to swaddle your baby tight, this product is not recommended. Target sells a blanket made from a material kind of like long johns. This is my favorite blanket to swaddle with. It stretches and keeps the baby swaddled.
 *~*Not as safe as a blanket, not as snug, never fit my twins well*~*Oct 09, 2009
The small says "fits 7-14lbs". So if you have a baby smaller than that you won't be able to use these. My twins were both less than 6lbs when they came home from the hospital so we used a blanket to swaddle them just like the hospital had done. No matter how small your baby is you can swaddle them with a blanket. Even when my girls were bigger and in the 7-14lb range, these still did not fit correctly. They were never snug enough so my girls were able to get their arms free and never stayed asleep since they weren't snug. Plus my smaller of the two was able to wiggle down so that her face was under the fabric(not safe) and the other became able to always kick the bottom so the velcro would come undone.
If you want to swaddle your baby I recommend using baby blankets, a nice, large square one works best but I used just about any size or shape. You can get them nice and snug no matter how small or big your baby is. We leanred a way to swaddle our girls even better than the hospital did and it worked Wonderfully, plus we learned lots of other ways to soothe our girls, get the DVD "The Happiest Baby on the Block" our girls were so much happier after that.
I never thought it took any longer to swaddle my girls in a blanket than it did in these. Once you know how to swaddle a baby in a blanket it is second nature.
worse than a straight jacketSep 28, 2009
My baby hates this even though he loves being swaddled. Definitely the worst baby product I've purchased.
