Description of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece, Small, Ivory
Pediatricians recommend swaddling to comfort and soothe newborns, but loose blankets are difficult to keep snug. SwaddleMe wings have Velcro tabs, to wrap up your newborn and stay comfortably in place. As baby grows, wings readjust for a perfect fit. SwaddleMe wings are easily opened to prevent overheating, and the leg pouch can be popped down for a quick diaper checking or changing. SwaddleMe can also be used in the car seat, simply insert car seat harnesses through the access slits!Pediatricians have long advised parents to swaddle their newborn. The award-winning Kiddopotamus and Co SwaddleMe will help soothe your infant and reduce symptoms of colic by recreating the soothing snugness of the womb. Designed for babies from birth to three months old, this 100-microfleece cotton adjustable infant wrap helps your baby to rest or sleep safely and peacefully.

 The leg pouch pops down easily with no need to unwrap baby's arms. |
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.
Pediatricians know that even the fussiest, wiggliest infants can settle down in minutes?or seconds?when swaddled. But parents know just how difficult it can be to trap those little octopuses in the very thing that?s supposed to calm them. Enter SwaddleMe! This handy little piece of ivory colored fleece allows parents to contain their newborn snugly (not tightly) with adjustable side wings and a leg pouch. Velcro tab closure allows for a good fit, even as baby grows. The leg pouch pops down for easy diaper checks and changes?all while baby?s arms remain securely wrapped. Winner of the iParenting Media Award, and featured in Parenting Magazine, August 2003. The incredibly soft 100% polyester microfleece is machine washable (read care instructions for specifics). Line dry. --Emilie Coulter
Pediatricians know that swaddling babies has multiple benefits. It can calm a fussy infant in minutes, it can reduce colic by recreating the womb, it can ease startle reflex that wakes them, and it can even reduce the risk of SIDS by helping little ones sleep through the night.
But those pediatricians aren?t the ones having to wrestle a wiggly infant into a swaddled state. Parents know how difficult it can be to accomplish this, especially with loose blankets. Luckily, Kiddopotamus has just the thing: their SwaddleMe adjustable wrap. This ingenious covering snugly-not tightly-holds baby through a system of self-fasteners that can adjust to provide a comfortable fit as baby grows.
 |
| An easy, three-step process has baby bundled and calm in seconds. |
Align baby?s shoulders with the contoured top of the open SwaddleMe and tuck their legs inside the leg pouch. Wrap the left wing over baby?s torso, tuck it around baby?s left arm, and attach the fabric fastener to the leg pouch. Place the right wing over the left and secure with fabric fasteners. NOTE: The fabric should never cover baby?s mouth or nose.
The simplicity of SwaddleMe is enough to sell most parents, but Kiddopotamus went the extra mile on convenience, too. The leg pouch folds down for easy diaper checks and changes-while baby?s arms remain cozily secure. SwaddleMe has a harness slit on its back that allows it to be placed in car seats, strollers, and swings for babies on the move. Based on your location, or the time of year that baby will use SwaddleMe, the comfy contraption is available in three different fabrics-lightweight microfleece, cotton flannel, and knit cotton-and a slew of colors and patterns.
Sizes
The SwaddleMe is available in three, offering a perfect fit for whatever stage you need: preemie is for babies weighing 3-7 pounds; small is for babies weighing 7-14 pounds; and large is for babies weighing 15-22 pounds. These sizes are meant to be only a guideline as babies? girth can vary.
Baby Products Reviews of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece, Small, Ivory
Customer Review: Did not work for us!
Summary: 1 Stars
When we heard about this blanket, we were very excited. Our daughter loves to be swaddled, when we get it right - however, the blankets that we have (even the ones that the hospital used to swaddle her) were not very helpful for easy swaddling. And she works herself loose because she's getting stronger every day.
We hoped a blanket cut for swaddling with the velcro would be the solution...
However, two problems:
1. It doesn't fit properly and she works herself loose despite the velcro - the velcro contact patches are very small - there should be a broader strip of velcro to attach to so it is more adjustable. Our daughter is small, and it is just too big on her. She swims in it. We hope it will work better when she gets bigger.
2. Fleece - decent winter solution, but terrible in the summer. And terrible if you keep your house over 60 degrees. If only it came in a lighter material (we haven't found it).
Oh well... it definitely seems to work for some, so don't use our review as your only basis.
THAT BEING SAID, HOWEVER, we found two other options:
1) When our kids were very young (-> 1 month) we used a large waffle weave blanket from Target (~$5) and it worked wonderfully... we can wrap it tight, and she does work herself loose after about 3 hours, but it is better than any of the previous solutions.
2) the Amazing Miracle Blanket (another swaddling blanket), was our by far favorite swaddling blanket
One other note about swaddling - whenever she has been properly swaddled (usually by an expert) she loves it... We initially told some folks who have a lot of experience with children that she liked to have her arms loose. the response we got is that most babies behave that way, and it really is the small minority of babies that don't really like swaddling. Now that we know how to do it properly, we would agree.
