 Unbreakable swaddle but won't accomodate an older infant August 22, 2010
Michelle C. Schwab (Rice Lake WI)
Edited: My son measured 14 lbs, 23.5 inches a week ago (75th percentile for height). The last few times I've swaddled him he's wiggled his legs out of the pocket at the bottom of the swaddle wrap, so he might be getting close to it's maximum range of use. I wouldn't call him overly active, and just wanted to add this comment in case it was a concern for anyone looking into this wrap. It's not a problem for me as the weather is warm and kicking out of the pocket does not affect the swaddle on the arms. Really, this wrap is so lightweight, it's not providing any more than a lightweight covering. I'd probably knock my rating down to four stars for not accommodating a longer (or older) infant. There is no way this will last him until 12 weeks as the product literature suggests. Additionally, with a previous child, I swaddled longer than 12 weeks. This swaddle wrap does not allow for extended swaddling if the leg pocket is used.
I've tried many different swaddlers: Halo Innovations Sleepsack Swaddle 100% Cotton, Cream, Small, Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece, and Aden & Anais Safari Friends Swaddle Wraps 4 Pack, and now the Miracle Blanket. I'd have to say of the four methods, the Miracle Blanket holds the most secure swaddle, especially on my larger (90th percentile), and active 8 week old baby.
The instructions indicate that this blanket can be used from birth to 12 weeks. There is no weight range given. Despite having no velcro or snaps, the method of folding keeps the baby in a solid swaddle. First the baby is placed on the open swaddle blanket, which is shaped like a 'T'. There are two wing shaped flaps that fold over the baby's arms, then baby's legs are tucked into a pocket. Finally, one arm of the 'T' is wrapped around the body of the baby. The end of the flap will end up in different places depending on the size of your baby. This method, although very a secure swaddle, is a bit more complicated than the Halo or the SwaddleMe. Although it is probably less complicated than when using a traditional square blanket to swaddle.
The fabric is a good quality knit that stretches, but not to excess. I like that you can leave the baby's legs out of the pocket if you should so desire (hot weather, etc). This pull down pocket also makes middle-of-the-night diaper changes easier in that you don't need to entirely unswaddle the baby.
My 23.5" 8 week old has kicked the pocket off on one occasion. He still fits comfortably in it at 14 pounds, although his legs do reach to the bottom of the pocket. The flap ends up under his body rather than folded on top as the product picture shows.
PROS:
Very secure swaddle
No velcro to stick to everything in the wash or scratch the baby
Lightweight material - good for hot weather
CONS:
Takes longer to swaddle than a velcro tab swaddle such as the Halo Swaddle or the Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe: You need to lift the baby's legs to wrap the flap around their body
End of flap from the wrap around the baby tends to get in the way when moving the baby since it is not secured
Pocket is not very deep and baby might kick his way out of it, although it would not effect the swaddle on the arms
Priced a little high for what it is
In summary, this is a great swaddle wrap for babies who tend to 'escape' from other swaddlers. It is also nice to only have to purchase one blanket, and not multiple sizes as one has to do with the Halo and the SwaddleMe.
Great Swaddling Blanket July 20, 2010
L Thomas
My son slept for hours longer when swaddled in this blanket vs other swaddling blankets or not swaddled. We used it until he was 7 months, when he decided he wanted to sleep on his tummy. We had one bad night of transition then he happily slept without it. This blanket worked wonders for my son so we both could get the sleep we needed.
Best swaddling blanket EVER! June 21, 2010
S. Jordan (Las Vegas, NV)
I used these kind of blankets with my daughter who is 4 now. They beat the pants off of any other swaddler on the market today. The fabric is not heavy so there is no worry of over heating, but its still soft. My child loved this blanket and I used it for about 4 months until she got strong enough to wiggle out of it at night. I ordered two more for my son. I must have.
Great Swaddle Blanket....but June 10, 2010
J. Zimprich (North American Continent, Earth)
This is the best swaddle blanket when you need one that also keeps baby warm. We live in a warm climate so something this thick worries us. Over-heating for baby can increase the chances of SIDS. This swaddle is not any thicker than the others on the market so pick this one if you are looking for the best one. We found much better swaddles for our specisif needs at [...]. They are more like gauze and breathe much better keeping baby from over heating. I hope this helps. Cheers.
BEST swaddle blanket ever ! May 29, 2010
Chell (Hawaii , USA)
A++++++++++++++ ! This Blanket is truly a Miracle , it helped us get some sleep in those early weeks of my newborns life. My son was an escape artist when it came to being swaddled before this blanket , he could get out of any wrap or swaddle and would startle and whip his arms around waking himself and me up. It was very frustrating and we didn't get much sleep . A friend suggested I buy a Miracle Blanket and swore it worked , so I hoped online and bought one ! The first time I used it my infant son feel asleep fast and hard ! He didn't wake up for 4 hours , no flailing arms , no startle reflex to wake him , it was AWESOME ! We used ours till he was 5 months old , it was a sanity saver.
