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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Miracle Indeed! July 23, 2006

By Josie's Mom

We received the miracle blanket as a gift when our daughter was 4 weeks old. After trying the swaddle me to keep her asleep for longer periods and having no success, we were delighted that the miracle blanket worked so well. Within 10 days, she was sleeping through the night! I strongly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly, truly a MIRACLE January 20, 2007

By C. Pace

Our son has an especially strong startle reflex, and has to be swaddled to sleep, at all. At 2.5 weeks, he startled being able to get out of any swaddle we did, no matter how expertly done, no matter what blanket we used. So, at 1 hour of sleep, he'd start crying and we'd have to go in and start all over. We searched online for actual "Swaddling" blankets and based on reviews, chose this one. WHAT AN UTTER MIRACLE. We are in such debt to the dad who created this! Our son is now 12 weeks old, and we use this for each nap and for nighttime sleep. He was sleeping 6-7 hour stretches at 5 weeks, and slept 11 hours at 8 weeks. We would never have this success without this blanket. We've periodically tried to get him to sleep without it, but his reflex is STILL so strong that he needs it. It took a little "getting used to" the method to get him wrapped up, but in no time we both were experts. And the price on Amazon, with free shipping, is way better than what we paid directly through AMB. I wholeheartedly reccommend this to all parents, especially new parents.
