 Love it! June 11, 2008
This is by far the best of any of the swaddle blankets I tried. As soon as I started swaddling my baby in it, he slept through the night. He is amazingly content when swaddled. I can't recommend this enough. I now buy it as a gift for all expecting mothers I know!
A swaddled baby is a happy baby June 5, 2008
When we finally discovered swaddles (about 2 months into newborn life), Kiddopotamus was the brand we found was the easiest to use with a squirming baby - the tabs hold him tight and the different fabric options give you plenty of choices depending on the weather. Just be careful - once your baby gets strong enough, he can pull those velcro tabs off the blanket!
Works Well for Many Babies I Know! May 26, 2008
This swaddle is my favorite gift I give to all moms-to-be I know and all of them just love it. It's so easy to use, soft and comfortable, and it works so well! I think this swaddle is the reason why we have never really had any sleeping issues. We used this swaddle up to 8 months (then the larger one). Great, great thing.
Get the cotton knit, not the flannel May 25, 2008

We tried many different types of swaddle blankets (e.g. the Miracle Blanket, etc.) and the Kiddopotamus was the only one that worked right.
The Miracle Blanket definitely kept our baby swaddled, but it literally took 2 of us to get it on her correctly, and it was such an ordeal that she was very upset by the time we were finished. In contrast, the Kiddopotamus is extremely easy to work with and wraps your baby up very quickly.
My only word of advice is to buy the cotton knit instead of the flannel. We thought that the cotton knit would stretch more than the flannel (and indeed it does), but we thought this would make the cotton knit less effective (as in the baby would be able to get out more easily); however, what we found is that the stretchiness allows you to wrap it more tightly and effectively than the cotton flannel.
Also out of 3 flannel ones we bought, 2 tore holes in them very promptly. And even though the cotton knit was used probably 10 times more often than the flannel, it never tore a hole.
 Never Fit Right May 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My son loved to be swaddled during his first months, but this product never fit him right. It would gap and he could put his arms out and eventually wriggle it loose. We tried it a few times and then put it in the donation bag. Old-fashioned swaddling with receiving blankets worked much better (and is less expensive).
