Miracle Blankets

I'm not an expert by any means but I've got a miracle blanket too and I don't think it's anymore than a general instruction really....
I doubt it's going to kill a baby to be in it 11 or 12 hours IYKWIM!
I think it's more important not to wrap them for longer than 8 or so hours as they do need to stretch their arms and legs just like an adult!

I wouldn't feel that great if I was in a 'straight jacket' for ages at a time!

i agree... it's hard not to wrap a little one for that long.. Liam is always wrapped in his miracle blanket..anything else he gets out of..i worried about that in the beginning too:) but i always unwrap him to feed him and make sure he has heaps of kicking and floor time during the day.. as they get older it's easier not to have them in it too long..

Isabella used to do 11-12 hours over night wrapped up and in the morning she was just have a huge stretch(looked so cute)! We used miracle wraps too as she was a houdine! (still is when wrapped()

Opps! I never knew that, but luckily he wasn't sleeping through when we used it :)

OMG I never knew that! We used our miracle blanket for all sleeps from day one through til about 5 months old. That's for 2 x 2 hour day naps & 12 hrs overnight! Even when we got Daniel up for his dreamfeed we still left him wrapped. I feel terrible now, I have never heard of that & no one has ever mentioned that to me at all before.

We wrapped Callum for all his day sleeps and he was wrapped all night too. Once he started sleeping through we kept him in his MB till he could get out of it himself (about 6m old). He loved it

So I'm assuming that they don't want you to swaddle ur baby for more than 10hours a day even if using a different type of blanket? Sorry pretty obvious question but just thought I'd confirm with others opinions.
If that's right, you'd think it would be in plunket books or you would have been told by MW or something?

We didn't use a miracle blanket but our DS was swaddled for every sleep for about 7 mths. No one said it was bad to have him wrapped up so much.

Surely the warning should be elsewhere too?

I honestly don't remember seeing that on the instruction leaflet. Maybe it's a new thing? It's been over a year since I bought mine.
Plenty of other wraps are just as tight and my baby is fine so it seems a bit over the top to me.

lol kiwi me neither :)

i would assume its just a warning as they have to be very careful and say ridiculous things these days..and also maybe cause the arms are wrapped and for developmental purposes they dont want them wrapped too long..i dont think its a health hazard:) certainly Liam is always wrapped in his..and no feet anymore..even when i use othe rwraps i wrap with arm flaps under like miracle or otherwise he can get out..I'm too scared to unwrap at night and ruin the good slep lol:)
