5.0 out of 5 stars For once, the word "MIRACLE" is appropriate! February 9, 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 at 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Loses Out to Kiddopotamus April 7, 2010

The Miracle Blanket has a great concept and if I had to choose between one and a regular receiving blanket, I would happily pay the extra money for the miracle blanket. However, there are some great competing brands on the market that offer cheaper, better swaddling blankets. In particular, my wife and I have been much happier with the Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe 100% Cotton Flannel, Small, Sage Gingham.

The only area the Miracle Blanket wins out is in its softer material. This is far outweighed by a less practical design and a price that's triple the current amazon price for the kiddopotamus.

The miracle blanket requires that you tuck flaps over each arm of your baby and then under their back. This may make swaddling easier the first time compared to the kiddopotamus. Yet, after a few swaddles, you'll become fast and profficient enough to deal with flailing limbs. These flaps end up just being a hassle. Also the velcro on the kiddopotamus makes getting the perfect tension quick and easy. The miracle blanket has a very long wrap that you must go around and around your baby with...and without the velcro it is much more likely to come loose. Miracle blanket makes the velcro seem like a negative, but the velcro on the kiddopotamus isn't in any place that would rub up against your babies skin.

As for fit, the kiddopotamus does a far superior job with my 7 lbs. 19.5" baby girl. The miracle blanket is "one size fits all," whereas the kiddopotamus comes in both small and large. The miracle blanket is so big that the bottom of the blanket is easily kicked off and my baby's feet shortly flail about, defeating the purpose of the swaddle. At least this allows or easier diaper changes. The kiddopotamus never comes undone, thanks to the velcro. The size also seems perfect for any baby from 18 to 24 inches and 6 to 12 lbs., but don't take my word or it. Also the flannel kiddopotamus is the most constraining I hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a product! April 26, 2007

I received this blanket from some relatives for my baby shower. I took one look at it and thought they were crazy. There was no way my baby was going in that thing! When my son was about a month old, however, my husband and I were desperate for sleep, so we decided to give it a try. What a miracle! The other reviews have just about said it all as far as how wonderful it is, but I would like to add one thing. When he started to outgrow it, we loosened it a little bit at a time. I think this was very effective. We basically weaned him off of it so that it wasn't so hard for him to fall asleep without it. Great product!
