The Miracle Blanket is an innovative take on the classic swaddle concept. It is a lightweight, 100% cotton fabric recommended for room temps from 67-72°F. Many parents love that it resembles a traditional swaddle more closely but find it much more manageable. When swaddling the baby, an extra flap tucks around each arm to keep them snug and prevent them from breaking out of the swaddle. From there, you wrap the extra-long fabric around and around to keep it secure; no tucking or folding is required. At the bottom is a large pocket for the legs that won't come undone. If you think your baby will be too warm with the extra coverage, you can remove their legs from the pocket. If mom and dad are having trouble getting the wrapping down just right, there is helpful information on how to use the Miracle Blanket on their website.
You cannot change a baby's diaper like a traditional swaddle without completely unwrapping the Miracle Blanket. Although it is simpler than a conventional swaddle, it is more involved than those with zipper closures. Due to the non-adjustable leg pocket at the bottom, extra-tall babies tend to grow out of the swaddle before the 14-week suggested age limit. Lastly, the arm flaps from each side end up under the baby's back, and if you're not careful when wrapping, all that extra fabric can get a bit lumpy under the baby's back. Some users complain about the material being too lightweight, but others see it as increased freedom when choosing how to dress the baby. Adding more layers to keep a baby warm is more manageable than avoiding overheating in a heavyweight sleep swaddle. Overall, we are impressed with the Miracle Blanket and would happily recommend it to anyone. It may be especially handy for those with little Houdini babies that seem to escape from every wrap.

A form-fitting neck-to-toe sack, this swaddle leaves a baby free to move their limbs and keep their hands closer to their face than with other swaddles.

This all-cotton swaddle uses less-restrictive exterior wings, and it has armholes for extended wear. Its roomy cut makes diaper changes more convenient. The Velcro is loud, however, and it’s easier to escape from than our top pick.
