Product Description
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!

Every colicky baby needs one November 2, 2008
Candace Mike N Elmo (New York United States)
This works great!!! Small is for newborns to maybe 2 months, in my experience
but large is 3-4 or 5 month depending on length of baby...but by 5 mos. colic usually gone. These work so well in making the baby feel secure. Read the book the The Happiest Baby on the Block and your life will be changed as the baby gets relief from colic,,,,,and you'll have some well needed rest
I like the flannel over the cotton for this time of year, not too heavy. not too light for my baby. The book is adamant on swaddlersand they are correct.!!
Also, when in doubt buy larger size, baby will grow into it. This is a value when you compare to Halo brand. Does not have the convenience of a bottom zip and a removable swaddler like Halo but it does it's job nicely.
but the BOOK mentioned is INVALUABLE to any parent of a colicky baby !!!!
 Great item! October 30, 2008

My brother had asked for this for the new baby & it is great! It really soothes him which helps everyone in the family!
Great swaddler for infants! September 16, 2008
Paula S. (St. Paul, MN)
Love this blanket for my baby. He sleeps so well with it, I had to buy a few extras. Keeps them warm, and helps them sleep longer. Without it, he'll only sleep for a hour or so at a time. But when he's bundled in - he takes 2-3 hour naps. And at night, sleeps for 6-7 hours at a time. Helps mommy sleep better too!
Love this! August 15, 2008
Adrienne (Appleton, WI)
Great swaddle blanket - much easier/more stable than swaddling the baby with a traditional blanket. They hold up really well in the laundry & breath enough so he doesn't get sweaty. Less stretchy than the knit version, but fits the same baby. :-)
 Get the cotton knit, not the flannel May 25, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We tried many different types of swaddle blankets (e.g. the Miracle Blanket, etc.) and the Kiddopotamus was the only one that worked right.
The Miracle Blanket definitely kept our baby swaddled, but it literally took 2 of us to get it on her correctly, and it was such an ordeal that she was very upset by the time we were finished. In contrast, the Kiddopotamus is extremely easy to work with and wraps your baby up very quickly.
My only word of advice is to buy the cotton knit instead of the flannel. We thought that the cotton knit would stretch more than the flannel (and indeed it does), but we thought this would make the cotton knit less effective (as in the baby would be able to get out more easily); however, what we found is that the stretchiness allows you to wrap it more tightly and effectively than the cotton flannel.
Also out of 3 flannel ones we bought, 2 tore holes in them very promptly. And even though the cotton knit was used probably 10 times more often than the flannel, it never tore a hole.
