Miracle blanket, 22 Sept. 2010

I have never written a review of any product before - but this blanket has justified it's name and I had to come online and recommend it to people. My 6 week old son has a really strong startle reflex and was waking himself up regularly after us spending ages getting him to sleep. He was getting really upset and crying and crying so we resorted to having in bed with us to get any sleep at all. Last night we swaddled him in the miracle blanket for the first time and he slept from 10pm to 4am without stirring and then from 4.30am to 7am when we woke him. 8 hours sleep for mum - a miracle! I highly recommend this product - it seems to be working again tonight - so lets hope it continues to live up to it's 'miracle' billing!

Don't be put off by the fact that it's a bit like a straight-jacket - I'm assured they love being swaddled tightly, and my son seems very happy in it. I would recommend looking at the video of how to put it on properly - type 'miracle blanket' into google...

a great product, 4 Mar. 2010

After struggling to swaddle a wriggly baby in various sized and shaped blankets and sheets for weeks which she would always escape from, I decided to buy a product to make it easier. I found this blanket to be easy to use and extremely effective in making my baby comfortable and contained for a good night's rest. It's somewhat like a baby straight jacket but it works so well and stops her flailing about and waking herself up. I'm glad I bought two so I always have one while the other is being washed. You can only use this product up to 14 weeks though so bear this in mind, I bought it when my baby was only 3 weeks old so it was worth it for me, if your baby is heading towards 14 weeks, best not to bother.

Perfect swaddle but sometimes a little warm, 15 July 2010

A friend recommended the miracle blanket to me so I bought one before my baby was born. I also bought a plain triangular swaddle and was given a swaddle with velcro from NCT. I have found that these other swaddles do not contain my baby and he can easily kick his way out. The miracle blanket has special pockets and flaps so that it's really easy to use. You put the baby's feet into a pocket, then you use a couple of flaps to hold its arms before using the main lengths of the swaddle. Miracle blanket's own website has a video of how to do it and I found it really easy.

I have found on many occasions that this blanket calms my baby and soothes him off to sleep. The blanket itself is made of thick cotton rather than being of a blanket material. However, I have found that in the heatwave we have been having lately that he can get too hot so you have to make sure that the baby is wearing clothing suitable for the temperature (I have had my baby in a nappy with the windows...
