There are many arguments about the Miracle Blanket. Do babies sleep longer because they are so comfortable they don't fight to get out or do they sleep longer because they can't get out. But one thing every new parent agrees on is that their baby SLEEPS longer and better.
The Miracle Blanket is made of 100% cotton fully breathable fabric. Due to it's incredibly scientific and tested design the Miracle Blanket is able to use the fabric and the babies natural body weight to keep baby within the wrap. It doesn't need velcro, zippers, buttons or pins and in fact products that do require these do not FIT your baby at the different stages of those critical months.
The Miracle Blanket has 100% money back guarantee and is the most highly recommended wrap amongst paediatricians and baby experts WORLDWIDE.

| Place the baby on top of the Miracle Blanket in between the two arm flaps with their head above the fabric | Fold the two inner arm flaps over the baby's arms and under their back. Make sure the material is smooth and extended under the back. Do not bunch (this is actually very easy). By having fabric between the arms and body we eliminate underarm heat and discomfort and also not completely restricting their movement. Bring the leg pouch up over their legs - once again this allows for plenty of hip and leg movement. For a newborn then fold the bottom of the pouch up so their toes are pushing against the fabric. They love to push against it. Now take the smaller flap and fold across the baby's tummy. This applies a light even pressure to their tummy which eases Colic. |
 |
 |
| Then simply wrap the long arm completely around baby to keep them nice and secure - FOR THE NIGHT. | Then watch as your baby falls asleep. Babies cannot wriggle in or out of their wrap and do not overheat as their is lots of air pockets surrounding the baby. Also they cannot roll on to their tummy |

Step One: Lay the blanket on a flat surface with the foot pouch at the bottom and lay baby between armflaps with tops of shoulders slightly above top of blanket. |
 |
Step Two: Fold the armflaps over the outside of your baby's arms and tuck them snugly under her back on each side. IMPORTANT: You should lift the baby's bottom to be sure the armflaps are flat and snug under baby's back. |
 |
Step Three: Pull the footpocket up over the feet. NOTE: Some babies' feet may not reach the foot pocket yet. This is okay: It will be there for them as they grow. |
 |
Step Four: Fold the right side of the blanket over your baby's belly and tuck it under the left arm pit (her right). This flap should wrap all the way under the baby's back. |
 |
Step Five: Wrap the left side of the blanket over the top of her belly and all the way around her until you run out of blanket. This is where it is important to pull the blanket snug |
The History of the Amazing Miracle Blanket®
When our first child was born, my wife and I found out how tough a fussy baby could be. For the first three months of his life, he spent most of his time screaming (seemingly in pain) and keeping us from sleep. My wife would stay up until I got home from work at 4:AM (Back then I was a Manager for Harrah’s Entertainment). I would then take over comforting him until she awoke at 8:AM or 9:AM. Finally, I would go to bed and sleep until it was time to go to work in the evening. Those were the longest three months of our lives! And although it was several years - and a couple executive jobs - later, we remember it like it was yesterday. I remember searching high and low for a remedy; but in the end, more than three sleepless months was the only cure.
When our second son was born we got lucky; he was happy. He began sleeping through the night within a couple of weeks. We assumed that it was because we were now "experienced parents" - our calmness and patience created the difference. We were very proud of ourselves.
Then our third son was born. He wasn't as tough as our first, but we knew right away we had a problem. But this time we were determined to find a solution. We'd kept the books from the first time around, so we dug them out and started reading up. Throughout our research we noticed some recurring themes:
1. Swaddling is the most helpful ingredient in every effective calming method, 2. Holding your baby on your forearm, face-down (or face-forward) while rocking or jiggling him (gently) seems to enhance the calming effect, and 3. Using a pacifier and making a loud shushing sound in his ear further adds to the effectiveness.We noticed right away that if all of these things were done at once, babies almost always calm down very quickly. So what was the problem?
Well, we quickly found that it was difficult (or nearly impossible) to bundle a baby in a way that keeps him snug all night during restless sleep with a normal, square receiving blanket. Many of our friends mentioned that their pediatricians suggested swaddling, but they too found it very difficult to do properly. They quickly became frustrated and gave up swaddling. One thing everyone agreed on was that no matter how well you swaddle them, babies seem to have an incredible ability to get at least one hand free to scratch their face right about the time you finally fall back to sleep. Additionally, if you watch your baby sleep, you'll notice her twitching - often (this is called "The Moro Reflex"). If the baby is not wrapped snugly, this twitching causes her arms to flail, which eventually wakes her up. However, like most parents, we didn't feel comfortable using safety pins, Velcro, tape, belts, or straps while our baby was sleeping. We knew there had to be a better way, but there wasn't! So one day, out of pure frustration, I went to the fabric store and bought a couple yards of high quality flannel and made a prototype of a blanket that was taking shape in my mind. I had my wife wrap our baby first with a quick explanation of how to do it. It took her a total of about 5 seconds. The baby loved it, and my wife looked at me and said, "WOW! I think we have something here!" We used the blanket until Jacob was just over 3 ½ months old. And he slept well every night.
I then went about the task of finding anyone, anywhere, who had a baby that was less than 4 months old. I asked them to test the blanket for me. 100% of the people who tried it became very excited and impressed with its effectiveness and simplicity. I then knew, for sure, that I had to become an expert on swaddling - find all the pros and cons. One of the first things I realized is that there was an overwhelming amount of new research coming out in 2002 regarding swaddling and its benefits. Many pediatricians were beginning to publish studies proving the importance of swaddling. And they all had one thing in common: They all mentioned how tough it is to do right. They called it an "art" or a "tradition" passed down from generation to generation … all of them made swaddling sound inconvenient and difficult. Then we really knew we were on to something! During my research I was able to find some different "swaddling" blankets but they all have several problems: many cover the head which increases the risk of overheating; many touch the cheeks which triggers the rooting response; many are simply "baby bags" that don't give the snug sensation of real swaddling; many made the process of swaddling even more difficult with complex folds, arm pockets, adjustments for different size babies, buttons, Velcro or straps; and some designs bind the legs and hips no matter how big the baby grows. The Amazing Miracle Blanket eliminates all these concerns through the simplicity of its design.
Getting from that point, through the testing and research stage, to where we are now is a long, boring story; but suffice to say we are incredibly happy to be able to help so many parents. We hope you absolutely LOVE The Amazing Miracle Blanket and would love to hear your feedback.

Why does the Miracle Blanket work so much better than other products and blankets?
The truth is that we aren't sure yet. But after talking to hundreds of customers, we have developed one main theory: Research has shown that the two best fussiness "eliminators" are classic swaddling and gentle abdominal pressure. A lateral belly wrap is a very old Irish remedy for fussiness that is comprised of a long band of "stretchy" fabric that is wrapped around a babies abdomen to provide a gentle, even, lateral pressure around the baby's mid-section. Ours is the first and only product that combines these two incredibly effective solutions in one product. Because of the way our design combines the perfect classic swaddle with the even, horizontal pressure of the lateral belly wrap, it seems to work better than anyone ever thought possible.
Why is the Miracle Blanket so expensive?
We consider our customers part of our "family". So we want to give an honest, straight answer to this question … even if it means giving up a few secrets:
The main reason for the high price is that the blanket is nearly six feet wide and the material has to be cut on a 45 degree angle to provide just the right amount of stretch or it doesn't work as well (this is actually part of our patented design specs). This causes a lot of waste. Regular square blankets are cheap because they are simply a length of fabric cut every four feet and sewn around the edges in straight lines. As a matter of fact, according to our manufacturing costs, our price should be approximately 50% higher than it is! Several manufacturers have seen the blanket and claimed they could make it for less. After we explained our exacting standards and the quality of fabric we require, we quickly find out that we are getting the best price available. We are constantly looking for ways to get our manufacturing costs down, but we WILL NOT sacrifice quality or effectiveness.
And remember: If you don't think the extra sleep is worth every penny, call us and we'll refund ALL of your money!
Why should I swaddle?
Many experts suggest that swaddling in the first several months eases babies through the shock of suddenly being out of the womb by duplicating many of the sensations of the womb. Many babies do not handle this transition well, and some recent research suggests that this may be the main cause of fussiness.
Swaddling seems so confining. Is it good for a baby's development?
This question is the main reason western cultures all but abandoned the practice of swaddling over the past 100 (or so) years. Think about how comfortable the baby was when she was in the womb - total darkness, almost silent, snug fit ... very little input. Suddenly they are thrust into a world of light where their little arms and legs flail and flinch without control. Their little razor-sharp nails scratch their little face and their heavy head lolls without support. Giving your baby a few more months of some of the snug, supporting, and warm sensations of the womb should not be seen as an insensitive act - but a loving one.
My baby squirms and seems to fight when he's swaddled. Does this mean he doesn't like it?
Most babies squirm quite a bit when swaddled, especially at first. This does not mean they don't "like" it. The fact is, very young babies don't have very much - if any - muscle control and their arms and legs flail without them being able to control them. Swaddling actually helps limit this movement so the baby can relax and calm down. If your baby continues to squirm, and doesn't calm down after 5-10 minutes, take him out of the blanket and give him a few minutes to rest and try it again. Eventually, your baby will relax at the mere sight of a swaddling blanket.
Can my baby overheat because of swaddling?
Although it is possible for your baby to overheat, it has been shown that swaddling alone cannot cause overheating. However, here a few simple measures that will eliminate this concern altogether: 1) Wrap her in the Miracle Blanket and diaper only. 2) 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.
How Can I tell if my baby is overheated?
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 in the question, "Can my baby overheat because of swaddling?"
Can swaddling make it hard for my baby to breathe?
The University of Washington published a study in mid-2002 that shows that this is generally not a concern - as long as the wrap is not exceedingly tight. Swaddling works best when your baby is wrapped "snugly" but comfortably. The Miracle Blanket is very effective in keeping the hands and body in the proper position. Keep in mind that most babies LOVE to be wrapped very snugly ... it feels more like the womb.
What is the "Rooting Response"?
Infants have one talent when they are born: Finding a nipple. If they feel something touch their face, they assume that it may be a nipple and they will begin to try to position their head to take advantage of the potential food source. This is very frustrating for the baby when they are awakened by something touching their face and they cannot find a nipple. It is for this reason that it is important to avoid blankets and bedding that touch your baby's cheeks while he/she is sleeping.
What is the "Moro Reflex"/Startle Reflex?
The Moro Reflex is the tendency of infants to startle and "jump" for no apparent reason. Nearly all babies do this - some more constantly than others. This comes with several different theories. One suggests that without the "all-over support" of the fluid in the womb, the baby frequently experiences a "falling" sensation and startles awake. This reflex can be virtually eliminated by the sensation created by swaddling.
My baby squirms and grabs while feeding. Does swaddling help this?
One of the greatest things about swaddling (of any kind) is how much easier it makes it for mom or dad to hold baby still while feeding. Baby's arms are secure, he is comfy and he is very easy to position.
My baby likes one arm free to suck his thumb. Can I still swaddle?
Absolutely. Although you should try to get your baby used to the feeling of having both arms inside the blanket to avoid scratching and twitching, you can certainly leave an arm free if your baby likes that better. If you are a "swaddling artist" you can accomplish this with a normal receiving blanket. However, it makes it much easier for your baby to struggle out of the blanket. With the Miracle Blanket you can actually leave one arm free and maintain the total effectiveness of the blanket. Many people use it this way, and love it for that reason.
Can I leave both of my baby's arms free?
We don't suggest leaving both arms free. When you do this, most of the effects of swaddling are relinquished. Baby's arms will twitch, scratch and flail. With both arms free the only part of the baby that is (essentially) swaddled is the belly. One arm free is usually okay because some babies have a use for that hand - sucking. But two arms free, pretty much, defeats the purpose of swaddling.
When should I stop swaddling?
There are many differing opinions on this. We, at The Miracle Blanket, think 3 ½ to 4 months is a good time to stop. A good rule of thumb is, the baby will begin to let you know he's had enough of swaddling after a few months … this is the best time to stop. If your baby loves to be swaddled after 4 months, studies show that it's fine. As a matter of fact some cultures swaddle beyond 12 months; however, the chance of problems with "loose bedding accidents" increase when the baby is old enough to struggle free of the blanket and turn over on his/her own.
