Best Swaddling Blanket?
Getting ready for baby...
Which swaddling blanket did you use/like the best?
Miracle blanket, swaddle me, etc.
Thanks!

Miracle blanket was truly a miracle for us. The swaddle me attaches with velcro, and DD busted out of it very easily.

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
Both my DDs like/d the swaddle me, and DS used the miracle blanket.
I tried the woombie on dd2 and she hated it. The miracle blanket was ok with her too, but she seems happier in the swaddle me.

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
Was not a fan of the SwaddleMe's at all and I owned 5 of them. Once we started swaddling with a regular square blanket, DS started sleeping wonderfully and was no longer able to break out of the swaddle. We bought great ones at BBB by Swaddle Designs. Still my DS favorite blankets now that he's 19 months

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
DD hated being swaddled and then all of a sudden at 1 month she needed it to sleep. I tried it in an act of desperation and it worked.
I use the swaddleme and DD seems fine with it. I am REALLY interested in the wombie b/c I think she would love it, but I am hesitant to buy it having heard mixed reviews.

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
I swear by the Miracle Blanket.
Hated Swaddle Me's
Amy (Porrruss) used a new blanket - I think it's called the Woombie. She loved it so I will give that a try for #3

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
These are what I used
http://www.buybuybaby.com/product.asp?SKU=16692182&
They are organic and thin and breathable
I LOVED THEM... they were large enough to tuck around and I was huge on swaddling!
Good Luck!

Ditto! I love Swaddle Designs, the quality of their organic flannel is divine! But a lot has to do with technique, you really have to practice it to get the technique down.
I never used miracle blanket, but it looks like a great one, if you don't have a knack for folding

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
I LOVE Halo sleepsaks. I have a minor obsession with them lol thankfully DS really likes them too.
I have him in a swaddle me right now for the first time. Not sure i did it right (can't find where I put the directions) but he seems content.

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
I used the good old flannel hospital blanket and packs of printed flannel receiving blankets. Another favorite was (and still is for so many other funtions) the Aiden + Anais Swaddle Blankets. Very light and gauzy and multifunctional.

Re: Best Swaddling Blanket?
I second the Aden & Anais swaddler blankets. They're so incredible for pretty much everything! From swaddling to cushioning around the baby in the car seat, to covering up from curious other shoppers at the store. They're also HUGE so it's great for swaddling even if the baby is a little bigger.
