Product Description Swaddling Soothes Newborns and Reduces Symptoms of Colic by recreating the familiar, comforting snugness of the womb. Swaddling also reduces the incidence of the startle reflex, which can upset babies and increase the frequency of waking and crying. Swaddling Can Reduce the Risk of SIDS and help babies sleep through the night. New research shows that swaddling can help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when infants are on their backs. Pediatricians Have Long Recommended Swaddling to soothe and comfort newborns, but loose blankets do not stay securely in place. The SwaddleMe provides the simplest, most effective way to swaddle newborns. Swaddling Can Reduce the Risk of SIDS and help babies sleep through the night. New research shows that swaddling can help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when infants are on their backs. PREEMIE 3-7 pounds SMALL 7-14 pounds LARGE 15-22 pounds

Buy the gingham instead! December 2, 2006 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
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.
Best piece of baby equipment we own! December 23, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I discovered this product recently when I had my second baby. I received it as a baby shower gift and I LOVE it. It is so much easier than swaddling with a blanket. I have now bought the large one and my son (3mos) has yet to figure out how to get out of it. The other thing that I like about it is that you can wrap the wings around the baby's waist or upper chest, leave his arms out, and use it during the day like a blanket. Voila, a blanket that won't fall off when you're holding him, or be kicked off when he's lying down. Kiddopotamus has really come up with some great products. You might also want to check out the Piddle Pad. Another great invention/product by Kiddopotamus.
Worth Its Weight In Gold October 3, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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!

This swaddler is easy to use and comforting to baby. It is especially helpful that you don't have to unswaddle the baby for diaper changes.

Had a few swaddle blankets...my son HATED being swaddled...so this blanket worked out well for us...he would fall asleep at the breast and then I could lay him down ON this blanket and wrap him up in it while he was asleep (no battles) and he was snug in his blanket which helped him sleep longer and better...but the other blankets required wrapping and flipping under him, etc...which woke him or if I swaddled him while awake, he would cry and fuss...so this was my swaddling savior...I have since bought more for my baby due sooN! :)
