Swaddle Wrap, Baby Swaddle for Newborns, Solid Heather Gray | Soft Swaddle Blanket Featuring Miracle Blanket’s Signature Easy, Secure Wrap Design for Newborns and Infants

A high school classmate and friend of mine created this product for his son who had croup. I believe it was the blanket baby North West was wrapped in in her first photo shared with the public. It comes in beautiful colors, it is soft and helps keep baby swaddled perfectly so they sleep soundly. It's one of the gifts I always give when someone is having a baby.

I love the Miracle Blanket! It definitely lives up to its name! As an infant caretaker, I have used them with many children. I now purchased one for my own son, and soon bought more colors! We had multiple types of swaddles--blankets, velcro styles, etc.--and this is the only one that worked for us. It keeps the baby's arms at his sides, compared to most which wrap the arms on his chest. This makes it harder for him to break out and scrunch the fabric by his face (as happened with other swaddles as he tried to bring his hands to his mouth). He is just now, around 4 months, getting a little too long for it, to where he can scrunch it with his arms. Leaving his arms at his aides also stops him from trying to roll, which was possible in some others (note: babies who can roll over should not be swaddles; my son rolled from back to side the day we came home from the hospital and was closely monitored which sleeping). I appreciate that while it ends up putting several layers around baby, it is lightweight, breathable cotton. On hot nights, I only used a short sleeve onesie underneath to prevent overheating. I wish there was a way to secure the end piece of fabric as it always scared me a little to have a loose piece hanging around, but it never got near his face. There is definitely a learning curve in trying to get it positioned and tightened perfectly for your baby. We wrapped it slightly differently at different times based on his needs (e.g wrapping it higher or lower, leaving his legs out, etc.). I recommend these to everyone I know! They are definitely the best swaddle on the market. My baby fought getting in them for a little while, but they calm him so well, and now just the routine of wrapping him in starts to calm him! If you need a miracle to help your baby sleep better, this is it!

I would give this blanket 10 stars if I could! My daughter would only sleep in 2 hour chunks. When she turned 9 weeks old, I went in search of a larger swaddling blanket. My friend recommended the Miracle Blanket and since that day, it has been sweet dreams in my house! I documented her progress over the first week of using the miracle blanket. Here are my findings: Night 1: 6 hours 41 minutes Night 2: 8 hours Night 3: 7 hours 45 minutes Night 4: 2, 4 hour blocks (but this is because I knocked over some bottles in the recycling bin and woke her up at 4am....don't ask...... she was re-swaddled and passed out in no time) Night 5: 9 hours! Night 6: 8 hours, 31 minutes Night 7: 8 hours, 41 minutes My daughter is very tall. She was 20 1/2 inches at birth. When she started to outgrow the MB, I adjusted the blanket so that her shoulders would poke out of the top in order to provide more room for her feet at the bottom. The blanket also proved to be a success for naps! I was afraid that she would become to dependant on the MB, but I decided to press my luck and I continued to use the MB for as long as she would allow it. If you are reading this, you are probably sleep deprived and will understand! She started to wiggle out of the blanket and inch around her crib at night when she was 3 1/2 months old. This was her sign that she was ready to move on. I was completely amazed that she was able to maintain her awesome sleeping habit without the MB! She is now 4 1/2 months old, and she still sleeps an average of 9 hours a night. Her naps aren't as lengthy, but I can handle anything with a good night's sleep. I feel that the Miracle Blanket helped to establish excellent sleep habits for my daughter. However, it does not work for all babies. This blanket is not an easy fix for everyone. If you are unsure if this blanket is for you, you should watch this swaddling video on y*u t*be. [...] It is identical to the way the MB works. However, the fabric of the MB is very stretchy. I think it makes a difference because it is so comfortable. I hope that this blanket works for you! Sweet dreams!

Overview: The Miracle Blanket takes the skill out of using a muslin-type swaddle blankets and separates itself from all of the other swaddlers by having the ability to pin the baby's arms to the sides, making it much more difficult to escape! You use the swaddle by tucking the arm flaps underneath the baby's back (which does require lifting them up as in a diaper change), then putting their feet in the foot pocket, pulling the (baby's) left side of the swaddle tight and then tucking it under their right arm, and then wrapping the outermost layer around and under the baby tightly. Then you're left with your adorable burrito baby! When I first started using this, it seemed cumbersome, and it is more difficult than a SwaddleMe velcro swaddler or a Woombie, but this is why it works. When your baby is sleeping many more hours at a time you will know it's worth the extra 30 seconds to get them properly swaddled. There have been 2 times so far when my 14lb, 9 week old has gotten his right arm out, and tucking the arm flap more under his body has fixed that. He has also got his feet out, so I put him lower in the swaddler and so far that is working. He may be outgrowing it soon, though. Pros: It works the best of the many swaddlers that I have tried for keeping baby swaddled (compared to Woombie, SwaddleMe, Aden+Anais, SwaddleUp and SwaddleMe Pods). -It is possible to untuck the legs and do a diaper change without a complete un-swaddle. Cons: Legs will probably eventually come out. My son is 23 1/4 inches and he's probably reaching the last few weeks of being able to use this. I wish they had a bigger size. Would I recommend: Yes! This is the only swaddler you will need!

I normally don't review items but consider this a PSA regarding the miracle blanket. First and foremost, this is an awesome swaddle. I'm pretty good at swaddling with muslin cloths but as our LO got older, he started breaking out of them. We have tried so many different swaddles with my oldest son that didn't quite work. The Halo with wings has too much material but doesn't get super snug. It's too warm for the summer. The SwaddleMe Velcro didn't hold up and the sizing was inconsistent. The Happiest Baby sweet pea swaddle (at least the older version of it) worked best for my oldest son but my LO hated it the moment I tried it on him. This is the first time I tried the miracle blanket, and I have never had such an easy time putting my baby down. I swaddle him, stick a paci in his mouth and he's out in 5 minutes. He's never thrilled about being swaddled but he doesn't get cranky when we swaddle him in this unless we delay giving him the pacifier. Here's my one complaint: I ordered the one with the stars pattern first. The material was so thick and not soft at all, as some of the other reviews claimed. The longest wing wasn't long enough to tuck under my son. When I carried him, it was hard to keep the swaddle nice and neat. It never came undone but it never felt like he was tightly swaddled. But it was better than others I had tried. I was about to try the Ollie which is obnoxiously expensive. Instead, I read another Amazon review which mentioned this issue and ordered the solid gray blanket. I tried it today and it's perfect -- so soft, so snug. The stretch is just right. My son fell asleep even faster. It's also bigger in size than the one with the stars pattern. I also ordered the one with Chevron pattern -- it also seems to be different: much bigger and made with thinner material. I don't mind this because I think it will be better for the hot summer. All in all, I'm a fan, but beware of which pattern you purchase. Not all are created equal. If you want the true "miracle" effect, stick to the solid patterned ones.

Summary: A great summer weight swaddle blanket. Lengthened my 6 week old's night sleep by 2 hours. I have a large, breast fed, very active, very strong infant who is great at breaking free and often wiggles her legs out of the blanket when she wakes up, but during her sleep seems very comfortable. I bought the Miracle blanket looking for a lightweight summertime swaddle for my June baby. She was 9 lbs when born and was breaking out of our blankets (my 3rd child, so I know how to wrap a swaddle). I was suspicious of the Miracle Blanket working, but after the second or third night I saw our longest stretch at night go from 4 hours to 6 hours. We have been using it for a little over a week and she has had 3 six hour night sleeps at only 7 weeks old. Granted she is a bigger baby and seems to generally be a good sleeper. She will work her legs out of it a lot and work her arms out occasionally, but rarely when I swaddle her (I always make sure she can move her arms a bit and it isn't super tight on them). There is definitely a difference on the nights we sleep in another sleep sack as she wakes up every 2-3 hours and sometimes has to end up sleeping on me. It is a nice light blanket for summer sleeping. We live in California and in the middle of the night the room gets pretty cool, so I wrap another double layer muslin blanket just around her lower body 1 time to make her extra cozy and she sleeps really well. I think some of her early morning waking was due to being cold. My daughter is a 100% breast fed baby. I'm very surprised that we are getting such long stretches from her. I attribute this partly to her temperment, size, but also the blanket does seem to make her comfortable. She is a very strong and active infant and this blanket works for her. Give it a few days and be consistent about putting them to sleep in it. After 3 days or so, she stops crying after I get her arms swaddled down and almost falls asleep in the wrap phase.

My son loves the Woombie. My daughter loved the Miracle Blanket. As a parent that has now used two of the most popular baby swaddlers, here are some pros and cons of each. Woombie - We used the Houdini woombie in pool party and in vanilla crea (have one of each) and one Original Woombie in Raspberry color. Pros: Allows the hands to be across the chest or up near the face - this was the main reason my son hated the Miracle Blanket and loves the Woombie Snug - I haven't really noticed a difference between the Original and the Houdini versions although the Houdini is supposed to be a slightly firmer swaddle. Both are snug. Nice colors - All the colors we have are nice. None have faded or bled in the wash. Cons: The Big Baby and Mega Baby sizes are too long. There is so much excess fabric that hangs down. My two year old can still fit in the Mega Baby size, lengthwise, because it is sooo long. Does stretch out after many uses. You can fix that by tossing in the washer and then tumble dry. (It says line dry but who has time for that? We've always tumbled dry with no problems.) Fingers can creep out the top and scratch the face. He's never managed to get anything more than his fingers out, but just a warning that it can happen. **Biggest con - You have to keep buying bigger sizes if you want to continue to use it as they grow. If you buy two in each size (so that you'll always have one handy if one is in the wash), then that's over one hundred dollars in swaddle blankets. Yikes!!** Hard to use if you need to put baby someplace with straps - like a bouncy seat or swing Terrible return policy from Woombie - only unused and unwashed are accepted for returns with a 15% restocking fee!! The Miracle Blanket - We have two - one in pink and one in blue. We used these with my daughter until she rolled over from back to front, at about eight/nine months old. Pros: Fits any size baby. It's a super long wrap, so there's no way that your baby will ever be too big to fit width-wise. Lengthwise our daughter outgrew it around four months. Then we just stopped putting her feet in the pouch but keep wrapping her arms. Still worked great!! Also if you leave the feet out, it's easy to put the baby someplace with a three point harness like a bouncy seat or a swing. Can only purchase two and lasts until you need to stop swaddling! Colors are nice - never faded or bled in wash. **Best pro** - Miracle Blanket has amazing customer service. One of ours got a hole in it after three months of use. Miracle Blanket replaced it free of charge, not even charging for shipping the new blanket or return shipping. Doesn't matter where you bought it - they will replace it for you and fix the old one and donate to kids in need. AWESOME! Cons: Learning curve - Babysitters and grandma had an extremely hard time learning how to use this. The first time, despite a demonstration before we left, our babysitter put it on our daughter upside down so that the foot pouch was like a little hood! The blanket has a weakness where the foot pouch is sewn onto the main piece. After much use, it develops a hole from being pulled on by baby kicking or moving the feet in and out of the pouch. Both our blankets developed one. We had Miracle Blanket replace one, but decided to just keep going with the other one. The hole never got bigger that the radius of a straw but it's definitely a weakness in the fabric. Hands are down by the side - This was what our daughter liked, but our son hated it, so I guess it could be a pro or a con. Overall, I would recommend either. You just have to think about what your baby likes. I think the Miracle Blanket is better for a baby who really needs a firm swaddle with very little movement. The Woombie is for babies who like their hands up. Our daughter, who required a firm swaddle, just couldn't handle the amount of movement the Woombie allowed. She needed much more restriction. Our son prefers the freedom to arrange his arms around his chest or thighs as he likes. If you want to try one, start with the Miracle Blanket first since their return policy is better. If Woombie would change theirs, I would equally recommend them.

This is hands down the best swaddle. As a new mom, I purchased every type of swaddle out there to find something that will work for my baby. The miracle blanket did the trick and I am now recommending it to moms to be to have ready at the hospital — I wish I knew about it then! The swaddle is made with good quality materials, it’s so easy to use, and it really keeps my escape artist’s arms down all night! The only thing I wish were a tad different (though I don’t know how) is the leg pocket — sometimes I wake up to either both or one of baby’s legs outside of the swaddle. Not a huge deal since it’s not a safety concern.

I love this swaddle - used it for both kids and find it easy to use, wraps them up tight and night, soft fabric and easy to wash.

Une couverture aux top presque très bien bon qualité arrive avant la date merci Amazon

これで赤ちゃんを包むとあら不思議、泣き止む。起きていてもご機嫌なので、初めての育児で戸惑うお母さんの味方になるはず。ためしてみては？

Ottimo prodotto. Ci avevo provato con altri modelli, ed il mio bimbo riusciva sempre a liberarsi. Con questo, rimane bello avvolto tutta la notte e, secondo me, dorme più sereno.

Easy-to-use and safe, this swaddle is saving our nights! He is sleeping 7 hours in a row! Just be careful, you can't swaddle your baby anymore after s/he can roll.
