They made swaddling so much easier and neither of them ever got out of it (guess my babies weren't that strong). The Velcro goes out after a while though, that's my only complaint. There are so many Swaddle type blankets and wraps nowadays though, you may want to investigate different kinds and see what others like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506572 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:57:38 +0000 winniebee 506572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were great for the first few months. I never got the hang of the big swaddle blankets and my LO was so small those blankets overwhelmed him He was swaddled in a swaddle me for every nap and sleep from 1 week until 10 weeks when he busted out of them. From that point on, we used the miracle blanket until around 4 months when we swaddle weaned him altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506570 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:56:54 +0000 Sweet T 506570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used them a lot when DS was a newborn. He was able to bust out of them by the time he was 2 months old...maybe a little bit older. After that, I used an A+A swaddle blanket and a receiving blanket to create a mock miracle blanket. It was perfect! He rarely broke out of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506558 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:50:42 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 506558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're nice when LOs are small ... but they are easy to bust out of when they get older. Miracle blankets are a little more fool-proof :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506548 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:40:04 +0000 Smurfette 506548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard great things about them from RL friends. We have received like 4 or 5 for baby. We will see if she likes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506543 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:37:07 +0000 hilsy85 506543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love ours! The first night we used it Lo slept 7 hours straight (up from 5) and its only gotten better since then. Granted I think he also happens to be a good sleeper (knock wood). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506542 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:36:54 +0000 mrsmenow 506542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty against them and thought I would swaddle with blankets just like I had my two older girls. I ended up getting a swaddle blanket as a gift and my LO sleeps so much better when she is in it. I recanted all my bad thoughts about them:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddleme-blankets#post-506533 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:33:34 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 506533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With our first LO, he was so opposed to be swaddled that I just didn't swaddle him at all. After many many many failed attempts, I just gave up. He would get his elbows going, get his arms free, and the next thing I knew, he was completely out. So we didn't bother.</p> <p>I know I should have the nurses show me how to swaddle better for this next time around but maybe I should invest in the SwaddleMe blankets? Would that help with this next one's sleep? Keep them from fussing less? Has anyone invested in these? Are they worth it? </p>
