Oh and the zipper is perfect for those bleary eyed 3am feeds..

We use this wrap and LOVE it! Liam absolutely hates being swaddled with his arms by his side, he struggles and cries until we let him out and has done since he was born. This one is perfect because his hands are up (as he usually sleeps) but he can only move them slightly up and down, they are cotton/spandex so it's very snug and a lot tighter than you would think. He loves it and sleeps very peacefully in it.]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:52:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=953345&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#953345 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=953226&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#953226 Author: Sprackleberries

I had a winter baby, and just loved our merino kids cocooi.

I also found the Miracle Blanket to be good for our DD. She used to fight a little at first against having her arms secured but slept a lot better with it on. It is worth persevering if your baby seems to not be all that keen on it at first.]]> Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:24:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=938471&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#938471 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=935258&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#935258 Author: monkey33

Me! I've just got a Wrap Me Up as in the link, and I'm loving it - wish I'd had one for my first born. Yes the arms are up by their face but I always wrapped with arms up on the chest as my girl likes to suck her hands to self settle. This wrap is better as it holds the arms close to the body, so they don't have the startle reflex with their arms but can still suck their hands. It's tight enough that they can't wave them around if that makes sense? I'm going to order another one I like it so much.

If you like the idea of them but aren't sure about the arms then there is a version called a Woombie where the baby's arms stay by their side, I think someone sells them on Trade Me. ]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:14:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=923003&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#923003 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=922781&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#922781 Author: Anonymous55

I get what you're saying!
I was just hoping it still wraps them tight enough to reduce the startling reflex as it is pretty small and tight but stretchy...

Wonder, has anyone actually used one of these?]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:45:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=922781&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#922781 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=922757&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#922757 Author: lilfatty

The only thing I could see that could be a problem is you wont be able to wrap a newborn tight enough as that one is designed to let them move their arms, which kind of defeats the purpose of wrapping them ]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:28:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=922757&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#922757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=922730&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#922730 Author: Anonymous55

We bought one of the miracle wraps as I read somewhere it was supposed to be almost houdidni proof. My wee girl was out of it in two seconds. The Kiddapotomus ones were really good thou.

I used the Bunny Rugs at first but then moved to the sleep stores jumbo wraps when he got bigger. If I had my time again I would be tempted to buy a miracle wrap as he is such a little wriggler. ]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:32:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=920849&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#920849 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31287&PID=920161&title=best-swaddling-wrap-for-a-newborn#920161 Author: mamanee

Hi

Last time I just used cheap flanelette wraps or old fashioned nappies which worked fine but I was wanting to buy something "new" for the new baby and was wondering which wrap everyone found helpful?

Thanks
