Baby Products Reviews of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece, Small, Ivory
Customer Review: fantastic swaddler - makes for a peaceful night's sleep
Summary: 5 Stars
We began using the SwaddleMe wrap the day our son came home from the hospital. We have been so thrilled with this product, that we bought the lighter weight cottons ones for the summer and into the fall. Our son has been sleeping soundly through the night (8 hours) since he was 6 weeks old, and I credit that to the tight swaddle this wrap provides. Babies are less likely to wake up if they are snuggly wrapped and can't "startle" themselves with loose hands and legs. I trust this company so much, that I've gone ahead and ordered the Beddie Bye blankets for when he outgrows the SwaddleMe wraps. The wraps wash very well, just one word of caution - before putting the wrap in the washing machine, velcro it closed so that the velcro can't attach itself to other clothes in the washer or dryer. I forgot one time and managed to damage a knit outfit because the velcro created a bunch of pulls on it.
I HIGHLY recommend this product!
Customer Review: We love this!

We love this blanket so much, we've given it a "pet" name! My baby only stayed swaddled until she was about 2 weeks, then could wiggle out of even the tightest wrap and cried almost all night. Then of course would sleep all day... then would be wide awake at night again! It was frustrating! When she was about 6 weeks, I remembered that I had bought this Kiddopotamus blanket (it was just sitting in the closet) and thought I'd try swaddling again. That night, she slept 9 hours straight! Every night since, she sleeps at least 7 hours, and some days as much as 10! Unlike other swaddle blankets I have, this blanket is soft and stretchy so she can move a little if she is uncomfortable (but arms stay in there) and you can open the bottom easily for diaper changes or when the temp is warmer. We think it's a lifesaver for those who like to sleep at night. I think it has magic powers. ;) And, it's cheap!Customer Review: A New Mom Must-have!

We used the swaddle me on our first baby and have found it invaluable for our new twins. If you are one of those people who can never get the receiving blanket to stay on, then this is for you. We love the improvements they have made to add tabs that lock down for washing so you don't end up with a big daisy chain of velcro garments. The slot for a satefy strap is also nice, you can put the warp in a swing or bouncy, put the straps through it and then insert the baby.
The only down side we have found is apparent deisgn or manufacturing variances between the different fabrics. The gingham flannel wraps are smaller than the fleece ones and our babies grew out of them in a week. The other stretchy cotton ones are a little bigger than the fleece. This makes them hard to keep on until the baby gets a little bigger. We have had the most luck with the fleece ones.

My 12 week old daughter is all over the place when it's time to sleep and has been since day 1. For some reason, she loves to be swaddled and we have been swaddling her since she was a week or so old. The Swaddler is great because you don't have to make a trifold out of a blanket and have them wriggle their way out of it after a few minutes. The velcro stays put and she stays inside tight and neat like a baby burrito and falls RIGHT to sleep in minutes - if she's really tired, SECONDS! I was unable to use the newborn size Swaddler right away because she was too small. The First Years makes a two pack of swaddling blankets which fit a 7 lb. baby perfectly. Also, make sure you don't use a fleece Swaddler if it's too warm - use the cotton one. I've read that baby overheating can lead to SIDS. If your baby is active and won't settle down, SWADDLE HER!! Babies love it!Customer Review: LOVE IT!!!

I can not express how happy my husband and I are with these blankets! Being a 1st time mom I knew I wanted to swaddle my baby, so I thought I would give these a try! They are VERY easy to use, and our baby slept through the night at 6 weeks!! I know it is because of these blankets, because if she does happen to get a hand out, she wakes up, if she stays swaddled she will sleep 8 hours straight! I would recommend these to every parent. The only downside is the fleece ones are really warm, so you have to dress your baby in something light at night, the knit ones are lighter, BUT the material stretches easily making it easier for the baby to get her hands out. We also plan to swaddle our baby as long as possible, and at 2 months she is out growing the small size, and Babies R Us does not carry the large size, so you have to search for them on-line through other stores!
