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 large designed for babies 16 to 25 lbs or 26 to 31 inches. Also available in size for 6 to 18 lbs or 19 to 26 inches.

What no one tells you about sizing May 17, 2007
By Noelle First off, I really love this product. It's the quickest, easiest way to swaddle my baby girl, who sleeps much better at night when she's securely wrapped up. We went with this kind of swaddle over a blanket because she has been a "mobile sleeper" since birth, and always managed to wriggle out of our blanket swaddle. Note that these notes below pertain to the small size.
Now - here's what you need to know about sizing, based on my three months of experience and multiple attempts to get it right.
- There are three kinds of swaddle fabrics at the time I'm writing this:
1. Flannel (in the gingham prints)
2. Fleece
3. Cotton jersey (like a t-shirt). This variety has the most options in terms of patterns and colors.
I've arranged them in that order because that's the order of smallest to largest. The flannel variety stretches, well, not at all. It's the smallest of the three types of fabrics, therefore, in terms of fit. (My daughter outgrew her small size swaddle at 13 pounds, after washing it a few times - even though it's supposed to fit up to 14.) The fleece variety does stretch a bit - she's now 15 pounds and this still fits her.
The cotton variety is the stretchiest one - and it REALLY stretches. The first time after I wash and dry it, it's pretty snug. But if I'm lucky enough to get 2 or 3 nights of use out of it, by the third night it's considerably bigger than it was. I just bought another small cotton one and my baby's 15 pounds.
What's more, I just bought a flannel gingham swaddle in large, and that fits her great. (But the cotton variety in large was HUGE and I'm returning it.) Anyway - hope this is helpful to all of you out there. This is a great product and I wish you luck!

Swaddling simplified May 16, 2005
By Morgan's Mom 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.

Worth Its Weight In Gold Oct 04, 2006
By Melanie Mendelson

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 great! 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!
2 years later, my son was born, and thankfully I already knew about those blankets from the start. He goes to sleep great in the SwaddleMe blanket! Out of curiosity, I tried to put him to sleep without this blanket, and his arms wake him right away - exactly the same as my daughter!
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!

Don't fall for this cheap knockoff Jan 10, 2006
By Leigh
"Mom of two girls"
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.

Protect The Velcro Oct 04, 2006

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!
