Did you have a Miracle Blanket with DC? thoughts?

I have heard great things about them...neither of my kids liked being swaddled, but people have told me that's because I didn't have a Miracle Blanket to swaddle them in.  I'm thinking of getting one for #3 b/c DS was such a crappy sleeper.  Did you have one, and how did it work out for your baby?

  • DD loved being swaddled, but she was too small for those blankets at first and I got really good at using just 3X3 cotton blankets by the time she was big enough and they were cuter.  With DS, he didn't like to be swaddled after about 3 or 4 weeks and I never used the 6 or 8 swaddle blanket we had, a couple of them are the miracle ones.

  • DS hated being swaddled at first, but I got a miracle blanket for a gift so when he wouldn't sleep at all at about 3 weeks I gave it another try.  It was truly a miracle.  I loved that thing!

    ditto. It truly is a miracle.

  • I'm selling both of mine on ebay right now.  Waste of money.  I didn't even try and swaddle DD!  She just liked to be held next to me.

  • LOVED it!  We had tried swaddling Reagan and it wasn't really working for her.  I heard about the MB and decided to try it.  DH was less than thrilled that I spent $30 on a blanket to swaddle, when we already had some that weren't working.

    Well, she STTN that first night using it, and every night after that!  LOL.  He didn't think it was such a waste of money after that.  I now have a second one as a back up for when this baby is born.  I actually packed it in my hospital bag.  :-)  That's how much I love it!

  • we LOVED LOVED LOVED the Miracle Blanket and firmly believes that it kicks the butt of any other swaddling blanket you could get. DS could kick out of the Swaddle Me and we were never able to get a regular blanket tight enough.

    At first we couldn't understand why some people felt so strongly about the Miracle Blanket until we realized we were using it wrong. After we watched the video it was smooth sailing for 5 months.  Nothing short of amazing for us! 

  • LOVED IT ! I never could figure out a regular swadldle. With the twins I used a Swaddle Me but my youngest broke out of it constantly. The Miracle Blanket was a life saver and we used it til she was 6 months old. I got it off  NIB from Ebay.
  • LOVED it!  It's my go-to gift for baby showers now.
