Our daughter loved being swaddled and we DID have blankets that did the trick, but we liked the idea of it being a little easier and more secure thanks to the velcro. I lookd all over the we and read a lot of reviews. I had first chose the Miracle Blanket but returned it as soon as it arrived and I bought the Swaddle Me - much better!! The fleece is super soft and warm - I am ordering the cotton one for daytime swaddling. One point - the sizes - they never mention the weights it covers. The small is NB-14 pounds and the Large is 15 and up. My daughter is 13.12 and she does fine with the Large - and she will grow into it. I found no issues with the velcro being scratchy - nothing like that.

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 like a charm! 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!

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!

My baby outgrew the regular sized Swaddle Me at 2 months of age. I ordered this one and when it came in the mail I couldn't believe how huge it looked! We didn't actually use it until about 2.5-3 months since it was so big. We would fold the top down before we swaddled our son in this so it wasn't as long. At 3.5 months, our baby weighs 17 pounds so it's hard to find something to swaddle him with, and he still needs it. I hope he doesn't outgrow this one in the near future. I think he'll be one of those kids who has to be swaddled till he's 6 months old and this blanket should work.

My little boy is 4 months old and has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months. The only downfall is that he would wake up in the middle of the night up to 4 times because he had come un swaddled. The blankets that are warm but thin enough to use as a swaddle were just too small and would come undone through out the night. I had seen this swaddle me pop up on amazon and say "buy me, buy me". So I did. I found the only Large one left on the shelf and brought it home. We used it the first night. Heaven in blanket form! He slept through the night and stayed swaddled! It uses Velcro instead of the weight of the baby to keep him all bundled up. Would so recommend for all those babies who just need to be swaddled. You'll love it!

I JUST had a baby so writing a review is a totally amazing thing to do at this stage of the game - that's how much I love this thing. They should pass it out at the hospital. Regular swaddles come undone. This one stays in place and you can change a diaper without disturbing the arms, which is so important. Buy more than one.

If your baby likes to be swaddled this is a must have. Our son slept great in this swaddle blanket! I wish we started using it sooner because it was the only way to get him to stay asleep. We used this product in a size small for his first 3 months of life! He could not wiggle out of this blanket due to the velcro (unlike a normal blanket). I bought the large size when he grew out of the small. It was too big and didn't work as well because he was able to wiggle out of it. The small was worth the money but the large was a waste of money.

I *LOVE* this product. It's a far better velcro swaddler than the other brands because it uses bigger patches of velcro. In comparison to a blanket, this is much easier to use and provides much more durable swaddles. I'm quite good with a blanket, but by six weeks of age, my son could wriggle out. On the other hand, at three months, he's never wriggled out of the cotton flannel Swaddleme.

However, even in cold weather, the microfleece is too hot. Several times I've felt under the blanket to find my son sweaty. It's even worse when we combine the swaddle with a sling. On the other hand, the cotton knit (solid colors) blankets are too stretchy - my son quickly converts his knit Swaddleme into a toga, leaving both arms flying free. The cotton flannel (gingham prints) has less stretch than the other two fabrics, and plenty enough cover to keep a baby warm at indoor temperatures. It is trickier to find, but worth the search.

The microfleece Swaddleme does, however, make a great non-swaddle blanket on cold days, particularly when the baby is in a front carrier. The velcro is quite versatile.

I received this as a gift for my shower. I had forgotten all about it. My baby was extremely collicky, and wouldn't sleep at night. I would be up until 3am EVERY NIGHT! After about a month, I was desperate...I pulled out the swaddle me and gave it a shot. Well...she slept all night, I jumped out of bed at 7am and ran into her room, I thought something was wrong! She was SNORING!!! Had I known that this product was a Godsend, I would've paid $100 bux for it!!! She is 4 months old now, and I've been swaddling her for the last 3 months, she sleeps 8-10 hours straight!! I just wish they made it in size medium. She's in the large now, and it's a bit big. She manages to get her arms out. But I love it anyway!!! She'll grow into it. BUY IT!!

Within the first two days home after the hospital, I realized I needed more of these! So, my parents went out and bought a couple of each (cotton, mircrofleece, and flannel). My baby definitely preferred the microfleece. It fits the most snugly of the three and didn't shrink like the flannel one. The fabric has a little give and she wasn't able to break free like she was with the cotton one. The cotton ones are also a bit larger in circumference. Overall, the Swaddle Me is very soothing and it greatly improved the quality of sleep for baby and me!
