Do/Did you use Miracle Blankets or Swaddle Me Wraps?

heathb21

I've recently heard people talking about these blankets/wraps.  Do/did you use them on your multiples.  Do you like them.  Any preference on either type?  From what I saw the Swaddle Me's are only $10-20, where the Miracle Blankets are $30.

Or did you just swaddle with a regular blanket?

Thanks!

We bought two used miracle blankets from a fellow nestie here. brady STILL uses one every night to sleep. Our smaller dude uses the kiddopomaus (or whatever they're called) that are $9.99 each at BRU and they work great for him.

we have the miracle blankets and swore by them. I tried all the other brands and the boys could break out of them. yeah the price is steep but well worth it!

We bought and have tons of Swaddle Me Blankets and we ended up just using these blankets from BRU (Koala Baby brand) that are really stretchy and work soooo great.  You get 2 of them for $14.00 and they work great because they grow w/the baby. 

Let me know if you want to buy my Swaddle Me Blankets I will sell them for 50% off, they have never even been used.  kerri.marsh@gmail.com

YES - my suggestion for expensive things is to check with us ladies or craigslist to buy them for much less and gently used - i'm so glad we did. Heck...I buy a lot of things off craigslist and from the ladies here!!

We have 2 miracle blankets and 4 swaddle mes.  We actually prefer the swaddle mes because they are much easier and quicker to wrap especially in the middle of the night.  Both of our babies like having their hands up by their faces and if they break their little arms out of the blankets they are not bothered at all so the swaddle mes work well.  I guess it depends on your babies but i would definitely have 2 of each brand ready for when they come home from the hospital.  All of our swaddle blankets have been absolutely essential!

I loved the Swaddle Mes and didn't like the MIracle Blanket. We used them for a loong time.

We tried both and definitely prefer the miracle blankets.  They could get arms out in like 10 seconds with the swaddle me and they ended up being useless.  We are just now starting to slowly transition off the miracle blankets since they like to suck on their hands.

Thanks everyone!  I guess I should go look at them and decide what we are going to do.
