Baby Products Reviews of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe 100% Cotton Knit, Small, Sage
Customer Review: Swaddling simplified
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Simply put - does not work

I read Dr. Karp's book and decided to buy a swaddling blanket. After doing a lot of research and reading a ton of good reviews on this one, I decided not to spend the $30+shipping on the miracle blanket, but get this instead. Boy, was that a bad decision. We tried a few times, and my baby unswaddled herself within seconds! Granted, we had a big and healthy baby, who was strong, so maybe if your baby is tiny and/or weaker than an average newborn for whatever reason, it might work nicely for a while, but otherwise, don't waste your time with this. I ended up buying the miracle blanket, and that WORKED! Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $20 and buy the miracle blanket. I could have avoided many sleepless nights if I did that earlier!Customer Review: Great idea, but not for us.

We have one heck of a time putting our little guy to sleep. He can get out of any swaddle at all, no matter what material is used. We found this and though "HA! We've got him now". I read other reviews and people said not to put it in the dryer. They're right, but unfortunately my husband never reads directions when he does the laundry. The velcro doesn't stick nearly as well when you put it through the dryer.
Even before that though, Odin outgrew it. We're going to try a size large, but frankly, I think we're just going to start co-bedding, because these things are pretty expensive. Odin tends to poop up his back quite frequently, and you need more than one of these on hand in such instances.
Customer Review: 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.Customer Review: kinda big

I think this is a great product. I probably just prefer to swaddle my baby really tight. You can only swaddle the baby to certain point, because of where the velcro is placed. I wanted to swaddle him tight enough so that he could slide his arms out, but the product wouldn't let me. He's still a newborn, only about 10 pounds and this was the smallest size they had, so it's not like I could get a smaller size for him. Good product, but if you're wanting to swaddle your baby tight, this product is not recommended. Target sells a blanket made from a material kind of like long johns. This is my favorite blanket to swaddle with. It stretches and keeps the baby swaddled.
