Baby Products Reviews of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe 100% Cotton Knit, Small, Sage
Customer Review: Wonderful product
Summary: 5 Stars
This blanket is absolutely terrific, and is the only way our baby will sleep at night. Getting a good swaddle in a receiving blanket can be much more difficult than you might think, but this blanket makes it possible. It is very easy to use and comes in a fleece for cold weather and cotton for warmer weather. The velcro can wear out or may not be exactly placed for the size of your baby. We don't even use the side velcro; we just pull the blanket extra tight around our baby and wrap it underneath him. We also bought the Large size for our 2 month old because he likes to kick at night and was undoing the velcro in the smaller size. With the larger size, he can still kick his legs, but stay contained in the blanket. I can't say enough good things about this blanket! I bought several more to give as gifts to friends.Customer Review: A MUST HAVE!!!

We swaddled our baby from day 1 and she slept like an ace, 5 hours at 1 week and 11 hours at 8 weeks. The secret is using these Velcro secured blankets in addition to The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD. The author shows exactly how to swaddle for peak effectiveness. This method saved our sanity!!! The baby feels snug and secure, her arms cannot startle her awake during the night, she's a happy camper and mom and dad are definitely happy campers. This is the most important thing that we owned. It is definitely worth the money. Regular blankets do not work as well because they are not secured. Our baby didn't necessarily like being swaddled up at first, she would fuss, but the resulting great, full night of sleep followed. I wholeheartedly recommend buying the swaddling blankets and The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD.Customer Review: We LOVE this!!

We absolutely LOVE this product. Our daughter did not like being swaddled in a receiving blanket because she doesn't like to have her arms restrained so I didn't even bother with this. She tends to startle herself awake and throws her arms out to the side and has to be put to bed all over again. I decided to give it a try one day (when she was about three weeks old) and she was asleep within minutes. Better yet, she stayed asleep for hours. She is now two months old and we use this every night - she is sleeping 8-10 hours each night. The velcro stays closed and I don't worry all night that the material has covered her nose. The material also has just enough "give" that she can still move her arms a little but not enough that she wakes herself up. It is totally worth $10 and mom, dad and baby are all well rested!Customer Review: Awesome gift and surprise!

I received this as a shower gift (I'm a resurfacing new mother - my only child is now 11, so I'm starting over again...) and it was soooo easy to swaddle my newborn son. I remember struggling with my daughter to get her wrapped up in the receiving blanket and in a matter of minutes her wriggling out of the swaddle. With my son, he is cuddly in this swaddle for hours and sleeps soundly. Even my husband, who has two left thumbs can wrap him up snuggly without my help and supervision!
My only thumbs down on this product is I notice that with repeated use my son can wriggle his arm out and it does it looser with age. Also, I notice it has a tendency to bunch up at the neck, so you have to be careful when you wrap the little one up in the swaddle. However, the benefits FAR outweigh those two glitches!
Customer Review: Make sure to choose the right material to purchase

I absolutely loved the SwaddleMe wraps. They are swaddling made simple-especially great for grandparents and baby sitters that might not know how to swaddle a baby really well. I purchased 2 of them, but encountered a problem with one of my SwaddleMe wraps. One was the cotton wrap and the other was the cotton flannel. The cotton wrap stretched out very easily, so my baby boy could get his arms out and would wake up. The cotton flannel was the best choice for us. This did not lose its shape and kept him snug through the night. Most nights, my 2.5 month old will sleep from 7pm to 5:30am w/ out waking up. He eats at 5:30am then goes right back to sleep, swaddled. This is a great thing to have, especially when the receiving blankets you've received are all the smaller size.
