Hello!

I wanted to write to let you know how much our family has been helped by the Miracle Blanket®.

Our second child was born on April 30, 2004, and we were overjoyed to have been blessed with a baby girl. It didn’t take long to realize that she just didn’t sleep well, and consequently cried a lot. Our son Matthew (now 3) slept easily in his crib when he was a newborn, but it took Sarah a loooong time to get to sleep. When she was finally asleep, she awoke within 5 minutes of being put down. I had resorted to letting her sleep on my chest, just so she could get the sleep she needed. Although I love holding her, it’s just not possible to hold a baby all the time, especially with another child to care for.

Well, I did some research and found out that swaddling calms babies and helps them sleep. So I tried using a receiving blanket, and it helped some, but she was constantly getting her little arms out and waking herself up by bopping her nose, or pulling her own hair.

Then, I saw a special swaddling blanket in a catalog and ordered it. I actually worked less well than the receiving blanket I’d been using.

THEN: I stumbled across the Miracle Blanket® website and immediately placed an order.

The first night we used it she slept seven hours before I actually had to wake her up to nurse her. (I was told that at her age {3 1/2 weeks old}, a baby shouldn’t go longer than 5 hours without eating.) With the Miracle Blanket®, I was also able to put her in her crib to nap! We quickly ordered another so that we would never be without one, even if one was being washed.

Sarah is now 10 weeks old, and is very well rested, calm, and happy!

Thank you so much for creating this wonderful blanket. Our whole family is grateful, including our 3 year old son, who now knows that babies don’t cry constantly, and can sleep in their cribs. 🙂

Sincerely,
Elisabeth V.
