Product Description
Swaddling Soothes Newborns and Reduces Symptoms of Colic by recreating the familiar, comforting snugness of the womb. Swaddling also reduces the incidence of the startle reflex, which can upset babies and increase the frequency of waking and crying. Swaddling Can Reduce the Risk of SIDS and help babies sleep through the night. New research shows that swaddling can help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when infants are on their backs. Pediatricians Have Long Recommended Swaddling to soothe and comfort newborns, but loose blankets do not stay securely in place. The SwaddleMe provides the simplest, most effective way to swaddle newborns. Swaddling Can Reduce the Risk of SIDS and help babies sleep through the night. New research shows that swaddling can help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when infants are on their backs. PREEMIE 3-7 pounds SMALL 7-14 pounds LARGE 15-22 pounds

great product October 12, 2008
Lulu (Chicago, IL)
I think this is a great and easy way to swaddle your baby. I like this cotton fabric over the bamboo...the only 2 I have tried. The bamboo was too stretchy. After 3 months the velcro is starting to wear out a bit, but he is also growing out of the smallest size and needs the next.
 Love it! September 16, 2008

These things are great - we recently went to visit the grandparents and accidentally left it at home, and it was a disaster! She was up every 3 hours instead of her usual 7-hour stretch of sleep at night (this was at 3 months). I definitely notice that my daughter falls asleep faster and more easily and stays asleep longer with this blanket. I haven't had any issues with the velcro coming undone (the velcro doesn't always match up with the "sticky patches" it's supposed to attach to but I find it sticks to the regular fabric too) or making noise, or with the top and bottom parts separating, even though my baby moves a lot in her sleep. Pressing on it firmly when wrapping it seems to do it - she wiggles around like a little worm but with this blanket she stays swaddled up tight. In fact, I'll only use this or a 'sleep sack' if I'm not going to be right there when she naps, because I've gone in to find regular blankets bunched up around her neck and shoulders because she's been waving her legs around in her sleep! And I love that the bottom can be undone for diaper changes with the arms staying wrapped! I've never used the "harness attachment opening" - I can see how the idea is a good one, but putting into practice seems like it'd be awkward and impractical. I haven't tried it though, so I could be wrong! All in all, we consider this blanket indispensable.
Quick, easy, affordable way to swaddle your infant September 13, 2008
Al (Virginia)
This product was an essential during the first 2 months of our son's life. It was very easy to get him into a secure swaddle with the SwaddleMe. We tried and tried with regular receiving blankets, but one of his arms would always sneak out. Most newborns love the swaddling feel, as it reminds them of the womb. The swaddling keeps their arms and legs from twitching, which will often arouse them from sleep. The price was very reasonable, I think we ended up with 5 of them as we used them every night and most naps!
 Great Sleep Aid August 16, 2008
Geoeve
I love the Kiddopotamus swaddles. I have bought several (8) for our twin girls. They really help them to go to sleep by keeping their flailing arms & legs wrapped up tight and warm. The slit in the back is perfect for keeping them wrapped up while transporting them in their carseats. The swaddles are soft, easy to use and clean up well.
The reason I gave this one in particular only 3 stars is because this one (100% cotton knit yellow small) and only this one (not the green dot or circle bear pattern) had the velcro patch in a different, less convenient place. I don't know why because the other patterns that I mentioned were all the same. But the yellow ones don't work as well. Also, Kiddopotamus doesn't seem to make swaddles in size medium. The girls are now too big for the small size but the large size it just a bit too large. We still use them, but they're not as effective. Medium would be best at this stage.
Lifesavers for Getting Baby to Sleep April 6, 2008
Jeff Vreeland (Birmingham, Alabama)
Our 2 week old cannot stay a sleep longer than 10 minutes without her hands and feet waking her up.
Thanks to the Swaddler we are able to get her to sleep for a full 3 hours (or until she wakes up to be feed).
This is a must have for any new parents.
