  Great, COZY swaddler March 23, 2008
My daughter was born in Dec so this was great for the cold weather! We wrapped this around her in her PJs even! SO CUTE and very easy to do. I HIGHLY recommend swaddling your baby to get more sleep (for both PARENTS and BABY)!
The only square flannel receiving blanket on the market March 21, 2008

I thought it wasn't possible to have too many receiving blankets. I have more than I want to count. Within a month though after consistent swaddling, Amanda was outgrowing the receiving blankets we had, not to mention they were all rectangular which made proper swaddling a challenge.
I had a few of those kiddopatomas things and they're good too, but they don't give you the same snugness around the legs and feet that swaddling using a blanket does. I also didn't like using a blanket other than a flannel receiving blanket to swaddle because they were hard to get snug enough. So as Amanda was a February baby - she got swaddled and then we covered her with another blanket if it was chilly.
I really loved this blanket for it's size and shape. I never realized how hard it was to find a square receiving blanket until I was on the hunt to find something cheaper. I couldn't find anything cheaper. I also found that this blanket was a slightly heavier weight flannel than the ones that come 4 to a pack. Mine held up great in the wash and got softer with the frequent washings. We used it alot. Now that she's older, it will be a good lighter weight blanket too.
I also loved using it as a nursing cover. I frequently nursed while I was out and about and would try to find some quiet corner where I could throw this over my shoulder and amanda while she was eating. It covered everything I wanted it too.

I bought one of these receiving blankets because all of the positive reviews I saw here on amazon. I don't get why the ratings are so high! I wish I hadn't wasted my money. The material feels very thin and cheap, and pilled after the first washing. I also find that the size is actually too big for my newborn. And for the price, you could get 5 receiving blankets of better quality. We are much happier with our $4 waffle weave receiving blanket.
Wonderful Swaddling Blanket for Older Baby February 13, 2008
I bought one of these as an experiment for swaddling my 6 week old son who is a very active sleeper. He was very good at waking himself up, and I hadn't swaddled him since he was in the hospital. He outgrew the regular receiving blankets rather quickly, especially lengthwise, so I ordered one of these, a miracle blanket, and a few of the swaddling blankets with velcro. I really like this one because of the size, the softness, and the fact that it doesn't have velcro that wakes him up when I try to wrap him up in it.
Overall, I will buy more of these blankets to swaddle him in.
Excellent Swaddler January 11, 2008
When I added this blanket to my registry I thought it was cute and maybe luxurious but it has turned out to be a necessity. We have a whole drawer full of other baby blankets but none of them are the right size and shape to swaddle effectively. Plus, it is soft, warm, and well-made. I recently ordered a second one so I can have one at home and leave one at day-care. One note: Although this blanket is the perfect tool for the job and comes with instructions, it still took me several tries to get the hang of swaddling securely, so don't get discouraged!
