The
World’s Most Pediatrician-Recommended Swaddler: The Miracle Blanket
is a new, innovative swaddling blanket designed to ease your baby’s fussiness
and help her sleep longer and better. The blanket uses no buttons,
straps, Velcro, snaps, zippers or other confusing adjustments. And one
size fits all!
This blanket can also help stop colic, prevent facial
scratches and can make breastfeeding much easier.
I ordered this blanket and gave it a try. The following is an
account of my personal experience with the blanket.
I was looking for anything that might help my son sleep longer during
the day. He would only sleep for 10 minutes at a time. Something
would always seem to wake him up.
When I got the blanket in the mail, I tried it out right away. I
wrapped him up according to the directions. The directions
cautioned that my baby might not like being wrapped up at first.
And they were right – he pitched a fit! But I just rocked him
back and forth and in less than 5 minutes, he was sound asleep!
Without a pacifier!
I thought, well getting him to sleep – that wasn’t always the problem.
The test would be to see if he would stay asleep when I put him down.
So I took him over to the bassinette and put him on his back. He
barely flittered his eyes and went right back to sleep. Again – on his
BACK!
I looked at my watch and thought, well the blanket passed the “putting
him down” test, now let’s see if it really helps him sleep longer. I
watched as the minutes ticked away. I kept going back and checking on
him – I was afraid I had wrapped him too tight! But he was just fine –
sound asleep!
That first time, my son ended up sleeping a whole 30 minutes on his back
while swaddled in the Amazing Miracle Blanket! I know to some parents
that doesn’t sound like a lot, but those of you who have babies with colic
or reflux know that 30 minutes is a lifetime with an infant who won’t sleep.
I was able to walk away for 30 whole minutes! I went to the bathroom,
I got a snack, I put in a load of clothes – all without any screaming!
I have found out since then that I didn’t even have him wrapped as
tightly as I could have, so I’ve gotten better with practice.
I think the beauty of this blanket is the design. It has a special
design that keeps your baby’s arms tucked by its side. How many times
has your baby woken itself up with flailing arms? The blanket also
keeps your baby from kicking through the swaddle with its feet. We had
what we called a “super-swaddle” we would do with my first son with a regular
blanket. We would have that blanket wrapped as tight as we could get
it, but he would always break out of it. My second son was even stronger and
not once was I able to swaddle him successfully. I even had my
grandmother sew bigger blankets thinking that would help – but he “broke
through” every time. This blanket proves that bigger is not necessary – just better design.
I tried the blanket again and even a few days later, he was still getting
30 minutes of naptime while swaddled in the blanket. I’m hoping he
will continue to get used to the blanket and sleep even longer!
I wish I had known about this blanket earlier. Not even just for
the naps, but for breastfeeding as well. I remember half of he
struggle of breastfeeding was keeping my son’s hands out of the way!
