Soothes Baby For Longer, Safer Sleep
An iParenting Media Award winner, the SwaddleMe soothes infants and reduces symptoms of colic by recreating the snugness of the womb. It also can help babies sleep longer by cutting down on the incidents of the startle reflex. Most importantly, new research shows that the type of swaddling your baby will enjoy in the SwaddleMe can help diminish the risk of SIDS and promote better sleep when infants are on their backs. And a percentage of each SwaddleMe sold is donated to First Candle/SIDS Alliance to help babies survive and thrive, so this is a purchase you can feel good about.

Extraordinary Comfort
The SwaddleMe features soft fabric wings that hug your baby close and stay securely in place with self-fasteners to keep baby comfortably swaddled all night long. As baby grows, the wings adjust for a perfect, customized fit. A leg pouch pops down for quick diaper changes while leaving baby securely swaddled. There's also a convenient harness access slit that allows the SwaddleMe to be used in car seats and strollers.

Please note: Size small is designed for babies six to 18 pounds or 19 to 26 inches. The SwaddleMe is also available in size large for babies 16 to 25 pounds or 26 to 31 inches.

What no one tells you about sizing May 17, 2007
81 out of 81 found this review helpful

First off, I really love this product. It's the quickest, easiest way to swaddle my baby girl, who sleeps much better at night when she's securely wrapped up. We went with this kind of swaddle over a blanket because she has been a "mobile sleeper" since birth, and always managed to wriggle out of our blanket swaddle. Note that these notes below pertain to the small size.

Now - here's what you need to know about sizing, based on my three months of experience and multiple attempts to get it right.
- There are three kinds of swaddle fabrics at the time I'm writing this:
1. Flannel (in the gingham prints)
2. Fleece
3. Cotton jersey (like a t-shirt). This variety has the most options in terms of patterns and colors.

I've arranged them in that order because that's the order of smallest to largest. The flannel variety stretches, well, not at all. It's the smallest of the three types of fabrics, therefore, in terms of fit. (My daughter outgrew her small size swaddle at 13 pounds, after washing it a few times - even though it's supposed to fit up to 14.) The fleece variety does stretch a bit - she's now 15 pounds and this still fits her.

The cotton variety is the stretchiest one - and it REALLY stretches. The first time after I wash and dry it, it's pretty snug. But if I'm lucky enough to get 2 or 3 nights of use out of it, by the third night it's considerably bigger than it was. I just bought another small cotton one and my baby's 15 pounds.

What's more, I just bought a flannel gingham swaddle in large, and that fits her great. (But the cotton variety in large was HUGE and I'm returning it.) Anyway - hope this is helpful to all of you out there. This is a great product and I wish you luck!

Worth Its Weight In Gold October 4, 2006

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!

Dangerous? April 26, 2007

I really liked the Swaddleme fleece swaddle that was given to us when our son was born. As the weather turned warmer and the boy grew, I decided to try this cotton one. I'm not happy at all with it. It stretches too much and doesn't keep him swaddled for long. This morning I woke to his crying only to discover he'd worked the entire thing up his body and wrapped it snugly around his neck. I won't be using it any more.

This is the only swaddle so far that has worked for us. My son stays nice and tight and secure in this swaddle. We will be buying more when he outgrows this one.

I have an older fleece blanket and it's great! But this version is really bad, velcro closures are to far, can't close them properly, Size small was still to big for my baby who's avarage size, I wish they wouldn't change this product!
