yes. they look like little maggots. it's simple to use and they don't wiggle out of them.

Get a sleeping bag. They last a lot longer.

thanks. have sleeping bags from other kids, but ds3 needs arms swaddling. are they really any better than normal swaddling though - i am a pretty damn good swaddler if i say so myself, but this strong little man is like houdini.
also, for those who have them, did you order off internet, or do any uk shops sell them?

we bought ours from mothercare, but i've seen them on ebay. why not try an ad on here in Wanted? Once our ds became too big he went into a sleeping bag, but it really worked while he was little & needed swaddling.

hi tinytitch - would love to buy it off you. it is the 'real' product - ie branded miracle blanket?

oh yes - they are bloody marvelous! We used it with DS. I stupidly gave it away though, thinking I would never put myself through those first 3 months again.
