 Swaddling simplified |

| This wrap really does make it easier to swaddle your baby - moreover, it makes it harder for the swaddling to come undone, saving you time and effort. At such a reasonable price, it's worth getting two so you'll always have a clean one on hand. One thing to note about size: We have both a fleece wrap and a cotton wrap. Even though they're both the same size, the fleece wrap is a bit smaller than the cotton wrap, especially in terms of the "wings." We use the fleece wrap at the very end of the velcro tabs on my daughter now (she weighs 11 pounds), while with the cotton wrap there is still plenty of room for when she gets bigger. Lengthwise, though, they're about the same, and at 22 1/2 inches, she can now kick her legs out of the wraps if she really tries. |

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! |

Some reviewers mentioned that the velcro doesn't work well - they probably dried it in a dryer... I did it with one of those blankets, and the velcro started coming undone more easily. To protect the velcro, you need to hang them to dry instead of using the dryer.

| What will they think of next? I absolutely love this product. The lightweight, soft, 100% cotton material is a great alternative to the heavier fleece for the warmer months. The neutral green color is wonderful for both boys and girls. It is easy to use and baby stays snuggly wrapped much better than the traditional recieving blanket. Mom and Dad can rest assured that your precious little one will feel safe and secure in the "swaddle me". |
An easy way to swaddle

| This is a great product. Because I had a large baby, I was only able to swaddle my baby a few weeks with the traditional blanket wrap. This wrap easily accommodates him and does not come undone like the blanket. He sleeps better when swaddled and I do not have to worry about loose bedding covering his face should he wiggle free. I tried another brand (First Years) and the shoulder opening is too large and he was able to wiggle both arms out as soon as I laid him down. This brand is by far the best. I purchased three of them so one is always ready. |
We couldn't sleep without it!

| This is by far the best baby item I received and it is only $10. I read Dr. Karp's book and adapted his swaddling method to help my colicky son sleep. We started using the swaddle me and the 5 s's at about 3 weeks. After about two nights, we were convinced that this is a great product. It made swaddling much easier. I am convinced that it helped my son sleep through the night at a very early stage. He started sleeping from 10-6 at 8 weeks! He's now 5 months and we weened him from the swaddle me at about 3 1/2 months, but (knock on wood) he's a still a great sleeper now. I believe the swaddle me should be on every new mother's list. I am buying them for all my friends' baby showers now. |

Buy one if you don't already have one! I really can't stop singing the praises of the SwaddleMe. We received 1 SwaddleMe as a baby shower gift and within 2 days of my son's birth had to go out and get 2 more so that we always had a clean one on hand. Swaddling is so much easier and so much more secure with this, compared to a receiving blanket. At about 3 weeks our son began to kick and swirm in the SwaddleMe so we stopped using it because we thought he didn't like it anymore. Big mistake! After trial and error and talking to the pediatrician we learned his kicking and squirming was due to fussying about going to bed not the SwaddleMe. Once we resumed using it at around 6 weeks, he slept longer and better because he wouldn't wake himself up with his startling movements, which most if not all babies do at that age. Needless to say once we started using it again he was quickly sleeping 8-9 hours straight at night, about 2 hours more than he was without the SwaddleMe.
The cotton SwaddleMe is not as warm as the fleece one, so depending on the temperature outside and in the house, we use whichever one is most appropriate. |
