Reasons why I wouldn’t buy this:
1. Once your baby is strong enough, he can break free from this causing him to wake up
2. Comes in different sizes and doesn’t grow with your baby. I ended buying several and changing them again in a month since my baby has grown again.

I purchased this for my sister-in-law. She is due in March. I had a baby in October and I use them everyday. It keeps the baby from getting out of the blanket. He loves to be swaddled. It keeps them from being able to wiggle loose and helps them sleep better without being startled. If your baby loves to be swaddled, this is the product for you!

We are still swaddling our 5.5 month old and these velcro swaddle blankets are awesome! They are really easy to use and the velcro is strong. Of course, you have to bind it pretty tightly, but then it stays put, unlike the regular blankets (which we used, and then started tying it with a fabric strap to keep on our wiggling girl).
One problem is that if you wash these swaddles in hot water, they shrink. And if you dry them, they shrink EVEN more. We are now using the size Large, which fit our girl (16lbs, 25″) great. We double swaddle her (2 kiddopotamus – organic cotton). The fleece one seems too warm and shrinks even more.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who wonders how to get their child to sleep. And as far as swaddle weaning goes- I’m not sure how we’re going to do it. I’ve become very dependent on it.

great product, easy to use, great price. makes swaddling my baby thoughtless – although for a really good swaddle a blanket works best, this is great for when you’re tired or the baby is super fussy and just needs it NOW.

When my twins were born I tried swaddling them in receiving blankets but they always managed to wiggle free…especially as they grew bigger. Someone gave me one of these swaddlers as a gift with this baby. AT first it seemed too big and I tried the blankets (baby was 6lbs. 2 ozs.) Again, the blankets came loose. When she was 2 weeks old, I tried the swaddler again and glad I did! She did fight having her arms down the first few nights but after that, no problems. It’s easy to fasten and the velcro holds her snuggly. It seems to instantly soothe her and within minutes she is typically asleep. PLus the startle reflex doesn’t wake her. In the mornings if I need a little extra sleep, I wrap her in this- it works like magic! Highly reccomend…am looking for a larger size now that she is 10 weeks old and about to mover to her own crib.
