 Must Have July 9, 2007

Every new mother needs a swaddleme. I have used several brands from numerous stores and I think the Kiddopotamus brand is the best. We have swaddled my daughter every night since she was one week (she's now 4 mo.) and are purchasing the next size. I now give one of these as a present at every baby shower.
 Great for babies who like to be swaddled, but only works for a while June 8, 2007
Kiddopotamus & Co Swaddleme Adjustable Infant Wrap 100% Cotton Knit Small, Circle Bear Print We used several of these with our daughter. They were really easy to get her in and out of and kept her all snug and secure. After it had been washed several times, though, the velcro stopped holding as well. It was partly due to her being more wiggly, though. I had some old ones and some new ones. The newer ones are better because they have flaps for the velcro to hold onto so that it doesn't stick to everything in the wash. There is a slit in the back so that you can use this in a car seat. That is COMPLETELY ridiculous. I can't imagine how that would work, besides, it would be a safety hazard unless you left the baby's arms out. They come in polyester and cotton. The cotton ones are much nicer.I would suggest trying one, because they really were nice for a while. If they work for you, you would probably want at least one more to put in the laundry rotation.

We love this blanket so much, we've given it a name! My baby only stayed swaddled until she was about 2 weeks, then could wiggle out of even the tightest wrap and cried almost all night. Then of course would sleep all day... then would be wide awake at night again! It was frustrating! When she was about 6 weeks, I remembered that I had bought this Kiddopotamus blanket (it was just sitting in the closet) and thought I'd try swaddling again. That night, she slept 9 hours straight! Every night since, she sleeps at least 7 hours, and some days as much as 10! Unlike other swaddle blankets I have, this blanket is soft and stretchy so she can move a little if she is uncomfortable (but arms stay in there) and you can open the bottom easily for diaper changes or when the temp is warmer. We think it's a lifesaver for those who like to sleep at night. I think it has magic powers. ;) And, it's cheap!
What no one tells you about sizing May 17, 2007

First off, I really love this product. It's the quickest, easiest way to swaddle my baby girl, who sleeps much better at night when she's securely wrapped up. We went with this kind of swaddle over a blanket because she has been a "mobile sleeper" since birth, and always managed to wriggle out of our blanket swaddle. Note that these notes below pertain to the small size.
Now - here's what you need to know about sizing, based on my three months of experience and multiple attempts to get it right.
- There are three kinds of swaddle fabrics at the time I'm writing this:
1. Flannel (in the gingham prints)
2. Fleece
3. Cotton jersey (like a t-shirt). This variety has the most options in terms of patterns and colors.
I've arranged them in that order because that's the order of smallest to largest. The flannel variety stretches, well, not at all. It's the smallest of the three types of fabrics, therefore, in terms of fit. (My daughter outgrew her small size swaddle at 13 pounds, after washing it a few times - even though it's supposed to fit up to 14.) The fleece variety does stretch a bit - she's now 15 pounds and this still fits her.
The cotton variety is the stretchiest one - and it REALLY stretches. The first time after I wash and dry it, it's pretty snug. But if I'm lucky enough to get 2 or 3 nights of use out of it, by the third night it's considerably bigger than it was. I just bought another small cotton one and my baby's 15 pounds.
What's more, I just bought a flannel gingham swaddle in large, and that fits her great. (But the cotton variety in large was HUGE and I'm returning it.) Anyway - hope this is helpful to all of you out there. This is a great product and I wish you luck!

I really liked the Swaddleme fleece swaddle that was given to us when our son was born. As the weather turned warmer and the boy grew, I decided to try this cotton one. I'm not happy at all with it. It stretches too much and doesn't keep him swaddled for long. This morning I woke to his crying only to discover he'd worked the entire thing up his body and wrapped it snugly around his neck. I won't be using it any more.
