Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

Jack has been a really fussy sleeper since we've been home from the hospital. He was doing great when he was swaddled in the hospital blankets but he started to break out of them.

I had the swaddle me's - but they were wayyyyy to hot for him.

I had the Miracle Blanket but for some reason didn't use it until some of the moms on here told me to.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. If I have one piece of advice to give you girls - it's go out to Buy Buy Baby and get yourself at least TWO of these blankets. They are out of this world. My fussy sleeper who normally bounces around from the bassinet, to the glider, to the rocker, to the boppy in my bed, to my arms has now been sleeping FIVE hours at a time in the bassinet. He just wakes to eat - and then I don't even need to rock him back to sleep.

I have had two great nights of sleep. I'll let you all know if those two nights weren't just a fluke - but I think I really owe it all to this blanket.

I've been looking for this!!!! Is BBB the only place that has them? I'm not close to there!

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

I think so - I also think you can order it directly from the website. Let me look now.

ETA: Yep - you can either order directly from their site - or BBB online also sells it if you can't get to a store.

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

thanks for the advice!! i will have to remember that one!

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

I got the Halo sleep blankets i imagine its kinda the same.. i will keep in mind what you said thank you.

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

The Halo sleep blankets are totally different! They are loose like a sleeping bag with holes for the head and arms. The Halo sleepsacks are to be used instead of a loose blanket that can end up around baby's face/neck.

The Miracle Blanket is for swaddling -- which means wrapping your baby's arms very tightly at their sides to give them a cozy snug feeling and prevent them from whacking themselves in the face when they are sleeping.

Here is a link to the Miracle Blanket on Amazon if you'd like to save yourself the trip to BBB or just see what they look like.

(Note: With my DD#1 the Miracle Blanket was a lifesaver from week 4 - 18!)

I have a couple of swaddle me blankets but saw a few posts about this blanket and just ordered 2 from amazon.

I figure this will be better for the warmer months.

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

I think I have to get one or two!

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

Thanks for the info!

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

Based on recommendations from this site I already have two at the ready!

Re: Another MUST HAVE for ALL of you moms to be

Not to burst a bubble but Andrew hated the swaddle me, miracle blanket and the halo sleeping sack. So don't stock up until the baby is born
