5.0 out of 5 stars For once, the word "MIRACLE" is appropriate! February 3, 2007

By Jeddy 3 TOP 500 REVIEWER

I must admit that in the past I haven't had the best luck with products containing "miracle" in their name. However, this blanket is the shining exception!

Our son was a very big boy -- 10 lb, 6 oz of joy. We had read Harvey Karp's "The Happiest Baby on the Block" (highly recommended) and we knew we wanted to swaddle him. We had planned to use a receiving blanket, but we quickly found out that none of them were remotely big enough. Not even close. We spent a ton of money buying bigger blankets, and we tried two other expensive swaddling blankets as well. Nothing worked, nothing held the baby, and all three of us were desperate to get some sleep. We even bought a cheap sheet set and tore it up to get some bigger patches of cloth. No dice.

Finally, I ordered this blanket online (Amazon didn't carry it at the time, alas.) BINGO -- our son slept through the night at once! Yes! We had to wake him from a sound, swaddled sleep to change and feed him; he went back down like a rock as soon as we re-swaddled him. He loved this blanket. When he saw us coming with it, he'd try to lie quietly with his arms in his sides in anticipation of the (very simple) process of swaddling him up. And I loved the fact that this blanket was so soft and comforting and had no snaps or any other fasteners that could rub him.

I should mention that the two new parents I gave this to as a shower gift were pathetically grateful, and couldn't stop gushing. I understand; for a new parent, anything that grants you sleep is your favorite thing in the world.

A note to parents considering this blanket: Be prepared for some of your friends (especially the childless ones) to recoil in horror at the thought of swaddling. "You're tying your baby up?" "What if he suffocates?..." "But he won't be able to move! It's cruel!", etc., etc. These people probably mean well, but their comments are very ignorant. The fact is, your baby has just spent months in the most confined space imaginable -- a womb where he could barely budge at all. And new parents will immediately notice that newborn babies have virtually no control over their newly freed arms -- they'll startle themselves from sleep time and again, then start flailing their hands around and scratching their faces raw. Newborns don't have the neurological control to stop themselves from flailing, so they love it when you return them to the safe, warm, familiar confinement they remember from the womb.

Another comment you'll hear from some people is, "How do you know when the baby doesn't need to be swaddled any more?" Easy. They start to wriggle out of the swaddling. They may not be able to talk, but they'll let you know clearly when they're ready to move on. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a miracle. September 14, 2006

By William Hughes

This product is on our list of "must-haves". I've tried a million different methods of swaddling with a regular blanket but after an hour (at most!) our son wriggled his way out of it. And once their arms are out, they wake themselves up constantly.

Swaddled in this blanket he's never gotten his arms out, even though it's not wrapped overly tightly. And since their legs can be wrapped in our not, it helps with babies that get too hot or too cold.

The "miracle" of this blanket is two extra pieces of material inside that go over their arms and then under their backs. Having seen this I tried doing it with a regular blanket with some success, but it's just never quite right.

So cry once and spend the $$. Yes, it's a little expensive for such a small amount of fabric but inovation isn't always cheap -- and in this case, it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only swaddle blanket my son can't escape August 21, 2006

By Krista B

The Miracle Wrap is such a simple idea but it works wonders. I originally received a Swaddle Me wrap by Kiddopotamus as a gift and my son who was only 6 weeks old at the time would break out of it repeatedly so a friend recommended the Miracle Wrap. So far he has not been able to break out of this one and due to the ingenious design I know he never will. Be prepared for the fact that it looks a bit like a straightjacket. It has been the topic of many jokes in my family. But it works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally my son stays swaddled all night June 1, 2007

By J. Lund

This blanket is the only swaddle blanket that my son cannot wiggle his way out of. I highly recommend it. He is now sleeping 4-7 hours a night and is still swaddled when he wakes up. A must have for all new parents.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works half the time August 17, 2010

By R. Lamparter

This blanket only works when our baby is already nodding off and ready to sleep. When he's crying and fussy we can get him swaddled correctly, but he won't calm down. When he's super fussy, he will work his arms partially out and get caught. Then, we have to try and reswaddle him over and over and over! When our baby is already tired and calm, we can get him in this super fast and without fuss and he'll sleep swaddled and will sleep for an extra hour longer.

Just be careful when swaddling with this to make sure the top of the cloth hits the shoulder directly, otherwise it will wiggle up towards his face when the baby moves.

This product works for us about half the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a miracle March 3, 2013

By EmmaH

We have a 10 week old that has gone through his share if fussy times. We used Aden and anais blankets, swaddle me, and woomie. He'd grunt and squirm all night until we got the miracle blanket. He now sleeps five to seven hours at night, which is a huge relief after his previous standard of two hours at a time. It should be noted that with the other swaddles, his reaction had us thinking he preferred his hands out. Interestingly enough, he's calmer than ever with his arms tightly swaddled in this miracle blanket style. So so happy to finally have found the right swaddle for the little guy.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Miracle: Baby Can Wiggle Out! October 3, 2011

By web design_guru

Not only is this swaddler harder to put on (takes longer than the Velcro kinds because you have to loop additional fabric over each arm and under their back) but my 3 month old was able to wiggle her arms out of it even when I have snuggly wrapped her in it! For all that hassle of exfra fabric (which annoys her while putting it on) I still end up with a baby waking herself up by her hands touching her face! I'm going to see if making the "arm loops" less loose helps though the directions say to make it loose around their arms, I may have to do it tighter? Just to let you know if you're also having this issue. If she couldn't get out, this would be a 4 star product due to the hassle nd length of time it takes to put on.

The only pro this has over other swaddlers is that it doesn't have that loud sound of Velcro every time you put it on and take it off.

Also, I couldn't find this product in an organic fabric. If the company is reading this, I would love an organic option. Thanks! ;)
