The unique Miracle Blanket is probably the best-selling Swaddling Blanket in America; it is recommended by medical professionals throughout the world.

Most new parents are taught at hospital how to swaddle but quickly give it up due to its complex nature. The Miracle Blanket has been designed to make swaddling easy and it has so many benefits that are recognised by parents and midwives alike.

The Miracle Blanket helps ease the transition from the womb to the world by recreating the sensations babies feel in the womb. This comforts them and therefore helps baby and parents enjoy a more restful night's sleep.

Why Use The Miracle Blanket?
• Unlike some swaddling blankets, it has no press studs or Velcro that could potentially come loose and scratch baby’s delicate skin during the night.
• Research shows that the Miracle Blanket helps to relieve colic by providing a gentle even pressure around the abdomen.
• Swaddling makes breast-feeding so much easier by keeping baby’s arms and legs secured and comfy. They are easier to position and it calms fractious babies.
• The Moro Reflex is the tendency of infants to ‘jump’ or startle themselves awake for no apparent reason. Most babies do this to some extent; by swaddling, this reflex can be virtually eliminated.
• Infants have a natural instinct when born to try to find a nipple, this is called ‘the rooting response’. If bedding touches their faces during the night they awaken and become frustrated when they cannot find the potential food source. Swaddling your baby correctly greatly reduces the rooting response.

F.A.Q.'s

What is colic?
Some of the most popular theories are:
1) Gas pains.
2) Digestion difficulty due to undeveloped digestive system.
3) The shock of being suddenly 'out of the womb' (over stimulation).

Can my baby overheat because of swaddling?
Although it is possible for your babies to overheat, it has been shown that swaddling alone does not cause this. Here are a few simple measures that will eliminate this concern altogether:
1) Wrap him/her in the Miracle Blanket and nappy only.
2) To be sure the room in which the baby is sleeping is not too warm (the room should feel comfortable to a lightly dressed adult).
3) If overheating is still a concern, you can wrap your baby in the Miracle Blanket with his/her feet outside of the foot pocket. If your baby's tummy feels overly warm to the touch, or he/she is perspiring, it is important to observe the measures mentioned above.

When should I stop swaddling?
There are many differing opinions on this. We think 3 to 4 months is a good time to stop. As a rule of thumb, baby will let you know that he/she has had enough of swaddling after a few months...this is time to stop. If your baby loves being swaddled after 4 months, studies show that's fine. Some cultures swaddle beyond 12 months. However, the chance of problems with 'loose bedding accidents' does increase when baby is old enough to struggle free of the Miracle Blanket and turn over on their own.
