Can be dangerous (2009-06-06)
On the second night we used this blanket for our 4 month old, she wiggled out of it and we found her in the crib at 1 am with it around her neck. She wasn't choking at the time, but it could have potentially gotten very tight and hung her. I am so glad that she was whimpering trying to get loose and woke us up. Think twice before you buy this!

It was way too big (2009-04-03)
I have 6 kids and I only bought this for the sixth. We only used it once and he hated it. It was too big and the velcro was LOUD and awkward.
Not for Newborns (2009-03-26)
I bought this blanket when my son was 2 weeks old. He weighed about 8 and a half pounds at the time. It was way too big, and there was no way to get it tight enough to provide a snug, swaddled effect. I ended up buying this cool thing from etsy.com called a Swaddle Sleeve. It worked like magic and kept him swaddled for as long as he needed to sleep.
I just pulled this blanket back out to try it again (my son is 15 weeks old now). It is still way too loose, and he isn't a particularly small baby. He probably weighs about 13 pounds now. He wiggled out of it in less than a minute.
Baby Loves His Swaddle! (2009-01-01)
Our baby has slept in his Swaddleme every night since he was born. He loves it and wouldn't sleep without it! It also keeps him warm through the night without risking using a blanket. Now that he's two months old, he's decided he doesn't want his right arm wrapped in the swaddle. This doesn't alter the usefulness of the swaddle, though.
We haven't had any problems with him breaking out of the swaddle.
It was an excellent purchase and we have two flannel and four fleece. We use them daily. Excellent purchase.
