What do you think of this product? Check out the babies page, they look so cute all wrapped up.

I'm thinking of ordering one. My baby can't sleep for more than 30 minutes unless he's wrapped up in blankets so his hands don't whack his face. Problem is he's getting too big for the swaddling and breaks free too easily.

Hmmm... Well, this is just a pillowcase with a head hole. It does not keep the baby snug or anything. How much is it?
I don't know what the point really is. If anything, get a Swaddle Me by Kiddopottamus.

we had the same problem so we just didn't swaddle her feet. its the arms that need to be tight, the feet don't matter

The problem is that my son HATES being swaddled. He cries in his sleep, wiggles around desperately trying to free himself. He falls asleep so much more comfortably when he's "Free" except he wakes up 30 minutes later...
This is a sleep sack that keeps the hands covered, which will keep him cozy while still letting him have some movement without being able to whack himself in the face.
I've looked at the swaddleme, and I don't think he'd like that any more than a blanket. He can move around, even roll over in this... apparently parents are raving about it in australia... What

my babies could never stand to have their arms restricted.
Hence my swaddle me is basically unused.

We used our miracle blanket until dd was 7 mos old. But she really isn't the most physically active kid, even now.
