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!

Soothes Baby For Longer, Safer Sleep
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. 
Editorial Review
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
Amazon.com Product Description
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. | How it works
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.

 Can't live without it! October 18, 2008
R. Balcewicz (NJ)
When my newborn outgrew a blanket swaddle, I turned to the Swaddle Me. It is the best! She sleeps longer and more soundly when swaddled in the Swaddle Me. It has saved my life! And my beauty sleep!
Wait a month or so. Better sleep for the whole family October 13, 2008
annakate (Reno, NV)
As a NICU nurse, I frequently hear the research from the developmental specialists saying newborns (especially itty bitty NICU babies) need to be swaddled with their arms central, elbows bent, and their hands around their mouth area. So for the first month of my sons' lives I used regular swaddling blankets and the SwaddleMe more like a blanket sleeper, around their torsos and legs. After about a month (past due date, not birthdate, btw, if they were early), about when they tend to keep their arms down naturally on their own, I swaddled their arms down with the SwaddleMe. Instant transformation! It was like a little switch telling them, "OK, now it's alright for you to keep sleeping a little longer." They fell asleep a little sooner and more reliably and it added about an hour to each sleep stretch. It's also reassuring that incidence of SIDS is a little lower in swaddled versus unswaddled babies (not much though, don't freak out if your baby breaks out of the swaddle anyway). I had several different SwaddleMes with each baby, and I like this fleece one the best because it is just stretchy enough to hold the baby comfortably in pretty well, with a little movement but not enough to bust out, and the velcro on this one works better than the other ones I tried (though still not as well as I'd like). Biggest complaint was that the fleece doesn't wash marvelously- it pills up like most fleece things. I now lay it flat to dry!
A Total Must Have!! October 12, 2008
Working Mom (CT, USA)
We used this on my son every night and it really works well in making the baby feel warm, safe & secure. Bedtime was a whole lot easier and we even bought the Large size afterwards, as it doesn't take long before they out grow this one.
Well worth the money October 6, 2008
Ella Blue (Whiteman AFB, MO USA)
My friend gave me one for me son because he wouldn't sleep unless he was wrapped tightly but we never could get him tight enough for his satisfaction. Once we got the swaddle me he started sleeping for longer periods of time. We would swaddle him and lay him on the couch since it was the only place he would sleep for the first 3 months and we wouldnt hear a peep out of him until he was hungry or till his older sister (older by 11 months) would bother him. Were having another baby and will definitely get this again since we gave the first one away. It is way better than the blankets and the little velcro makes it so that it will stay tight until you unwrap your little bundle of joy. It is also a million times easier to swaddle your baby with the swaddle me than with a receiving blanket.
This saved us from sleepless nights July 12, 2008
Austin Mom (Austin, Texas)
My son has been swaddled using the kiddopotamus since birth. We just now stopped using it at 5.5 months. He was sleeping through the night at 2 months and taking great naps. We just wrap him in it and he would fall asleep in seconds. We ended up using both the small and large sizes. He didn't outgrow the weight but got too long for the smalls but the larges worked wonderful as well.
