Swaddling blanket recommendation

[pooch]

No that's not the miracle blanket the grobag swaddle blanket is pretty useless.

Agree that the Miracle Blanket from Mothercare is the best. It's light enough (when warm we swaddled just the arms if the AC isn't on) and worked better than others (including cot sheets/squares etc) we tried.

Worked like an 'off switch' for sending our No. 2 to sleep!

After watching "Happiest baby on the block" DVD, I followed their advise to use a big swaddling blanket and it does work! I used Anais and Adan brand from the US (bought through Amazon) and their big ones did wonders to my baby!

miracle blanket is the way to go....it's light and even the most active baby can't wiggle his way out if they want to...

I also watched that DVD on recommendation of my friends and read the book and made copies--then after my son was born found out that some babies HATE (with a capital 'H') to be swaddled and my son was one of them. But, the "shushing" technique was a pretty valuable tool that I was actually able to employ with some success with my son. The gently "jiggling" worked a bit too but rocking didn't do much for him.

Having said all this, swaddling cloths are easy to make--buy some light-weight fabric (usually cotton) and hem the edges and voila, you have a swaddling blanket. I know some people even use scarves in the summertime because they are sheer and not as hot.

This is what I've seen here in HK.

That's why I liked the muslin squares for my 2nd.
He was born in June, and I found they were perfect for the hot weather.
