Nonsense. Best to have big enough flannel sheet and swaddle yourself. Would never buy it.

It didn’t work with me. My baby didn’t want to be swaddled and she hated it. If my baby is unhappy I’m unhappy too.
I wouldn’t recommend it because I realized -as a first time mom- that babies only have problems to sleep the first 2 months and after that they sleep better.
I’d tell you: Be patient, your baby will sleep by herself and you will save money.

Okay, so the point of swaddling a baby is to keep their arms and legs from flailing around when they’re trying to sleep. Thus, if your baby is active enough for swaddling to help him/her sleep, they’re active enough to get out of this weak, small blanket. I tried this product I received as a gift, and my 7lb. 5-day-old baby had popped the Velcro on this as soon as I put it on. Also, there’s no way to adjust the tightness/fit to make it tighter for a more active baby, or one like mine that can eventually get his hands free (and he’ll work on it until he does) and up to his mouth. I returned this gift (and the other 3 SwaddleMe’s I got at my shower) and just use a big blanket and used the money for more useful items.
The key to swaddling a baby in a receiving blanket (until they’re too big, and then a larger thin blanket will probably be required) is to get the end around and tucked under the baby so that his/her weight helps to keep the swaddle tight enough to keep the baby’s arms secure. I’d imagine that any baby weak enough for the SwaddleMe to work must be not very active at all.

I bought this and used it for a couple weeks. It was warm and cozy for my daughter. She was a very collicky baby, and I learned from “Happiest Baby on the Block” a proper swaddle keeps a baby’s arms at his/her side. My daughter’s arms could go anywhere no matter how tight I velcroed the Swaddleme. I learned how to properly swaddle a baby from the book mentioned above using stretchy receiving blankets and secured them with a diaper pin. My daughter slept much better that way.
