Looking for a Swaddeling Balnket

I was wondering if any of you have a good swaddeling blanket that you fell in love with. I am due in Aug with baby #3 and I have lots of friends that are pregnant also.
What do you think of the Amazing miracle blanket, or the cozy coccoon? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What can I do next?

I have a blanket that is specifically for swaddling to make them look like a burrito. if you would like i would be more than happy to let you barrow it. This blanket is designed to swaddle and is used mostly on premie babies.

I loved the Swaddle Me blanket. It was easy to use and less expensive than the Amazing Miracle Blanket.

I used to believe as Jacqui said. Then I had a daughter that was a little Houdini, no matter how well I thought I'd wrapped her. Yeah, sometimes products are just a gimmick but sometimes products really do make your life easier.

I went with the Amazing Miracle Blanket but wished I'd gone Swaddleaze instead...no arm straps. AMB did work really well for awhile though. Wasn't a total "dud". There's another one that has a zipper in the feet area for diaper changes. Don't remember where I saw it online. Never heard of the cozy cocoon--will have to investigate.

I just use a really big blanket and wrap up real tight! Be careful that the blanked is NO where near the baby's mouth or nose!

For my youngest child, (now 11 months) I used the Swaddle Me microfleece blacket by Kiddopotamus and Co. It is fantastic - easy to use and oh so soft! Even after PLENTY of washing, mine stayed plush and new looking. I purchased mine from Babies R Us.

Congrats and good luck with the little one on the way!

I have had three kids and never heard of those two blankets but what I do know is that soft, soft, soft is great! My little girl (now 4 years old) still has "soft blankey" and loves it.
I just wrapped her up in a little receiving blanket usually but the "soft blankey" was (and is) her favorite item!

God bless you with these little ones!!!

anything that soft will work. I don't really buy into the "need a "swaddling" blanket". Just another for you to spend extra dough. you can swaddle just as well with a regular blanket no matter what anyone says. It's been done for years. I went to the fabric store and found some fleece fabric I liked and thought went with a boy and girl, and 4 years later, their still the blanket that they want when they want to cuddle or have trouble going to sleep.
