SwaddleMe Infant Wrap - a review and giveaway
Our newest giveaway is for a SwaddleMe Adjustable Infant Wrap by Kiddopotamus.
When both of my kids were born, the nurses at the hospital naturally swaddled them in blankets to help re-create the womb. We continued this when we got home because my kids wouldn’t sleep unless swaddled. With my son, we used regular blankets and I struggled with swaddling him just right so the swaddle wouldn’t come apart while he was sleeping. I was miserable at it, not to mention the hassle during nighttime diaper changes.
I discovered the SwaddleMe right before my daughter was born, and we loved it!
The SwaddleMe is swaddling simplified!
From the Kiddopotamus site:
SwaddleMe®
Adjustable Infant WrapThe One. The Only. The SwaddleMe.
Wrap your baby in the comfort of the SwaddleMe® and rest assured she will sleep safe, sound and secure. The renowned SwaddleMe® soothes infants and reduces symptoms of colic by recreating the soothing snugness of the womb. It also reduces the incidence of the startle reflex, helping babies to sleep longer. The award-winning SwaddleMe® has revolutionized the way babies - and parents - sleep around the world and it has forged an international renaissance in swaddling.
Swaddling Can Reduce the Risk of SIDS and help babies sleep through the night. New research shows that swaddling can help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when infants are on their backs.
We used a SwaddleMe until my daughter was over 5 months old. It is so easy to use and you can change a diaper without having to remove their arms from the swaddle. She would rarely get out of the swaddle until she was about 4 months old and then she liked to stick just her hands out of the top to suck on them. The SwaddleMe also gave me piece of mind that the swaddle wouldn’t unwrap and end up over her head which is a fear I always had with a regular blanket.
Here are some photos of Abby in her SwaddleMe:
The SwaddleMe Adjustable Infant Wrap comes in 3 sizes:
- Preemie: 3 to 7 pounds

This is cool.
I was the lamest swaddler ever. Really bad at it.
June 4th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
This would definitely be handy for my friend who is due in November. She’s a new mom and has never even changed a diaper. She can use all the help she can get, lol. Sign me up!
I Dugg and Stumbled it too, btw.

Thanks so much!

I will give this to my daughter for her impending arrival. This will be so much easier than trying to teach traditional swaddling. Thank you! I also subscribed to your email.
June 4th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
This si so cool. They didn’t have these when my girls were infants. I had to do the baby burritos with recieving blankets, and they always came undone. But my girls still loved to be swaddled! I would love to give this to my sister-in-law who is due in Sept. I am subscribed by email!. Thanks for offering this!

We tried this swaddle, but liked the Halo sleepsack swaddle better - have you checked that brand out? you can take the swaddle part off when you don’t need it and have a wearable blanket (like a vest that zips up. we liked it much better and got ours at halosleep.com
