We could yell for hours about how great the Miracle Blanket is, but when it comes down to it, you might think it's just a sales pitch. But when our customers speak, that's something to listen to!

Since I've used [the Miracle Blanket]before, I know that the breathable flannel is wonderful, and not stretchy like other blankets, which give baby too much room to get his arms out. The fabric is great. Baby has tons of blankets, but only gets to sleep in this one! :-)

My son was born sick and he needed lots of meds; some that would keep him upset and always crying as he was going from one hospital to another until he was two months old. Finally someone told me of the blanket wrapping. This I'd never done to any of my other four children I'd always let them have all the room they needed to 'flow'; this was always my way. But I will tell you that it was a blessing to find a way for my son to finally get some peaceful rest. He was finally sleeping - not crying, not jerking all the time - he really loved being wrapped up in this blanket. It didn't seem right at first; I'd always done my others differently. It actually took will power to feel good about wrapping my son. But it was the best possible treatment ever. I feel every one could have as much to learn from others as I did. He was so happy, warm and peaceful, but most of all he sleep 'like a baby'. I hope more people try this as just a way to keep your wonderful babies feeling as safe and happy as they did when they looked up at you for the first time.
God bless!

I have said it before and will say it again - these blankets are the greatest for parents who swaddle. I have been telling every pregnant woman I know about them. And every baby shower gift from now on will be one of your blankets and a copy of Dr. Karp's book.

I love [The Miracle Blanket]and will buy it for all of my friends who have little babies and who are expecting. What a wonderful baby shower gift. I only wish someone had given me one a lot sooner. It would have saved me a lot of sleepless nights and exhausted days. ALso, the old blankets I was using kept riding over his face at night once he "broke out" of his blanket which would cause me to panic and check him every hour or 2. I would wake from sleep just to make sure he was ok. This blanket really puts my mind at ease because it is not riding up because he can't wriggle out of it. Ah, I love it!

I have found the miracle blanket to be a REAL MIRACLE!!!!! My little [one]does not like to sleep on his back at all, any time, day or night. During the day I was lucky to get a 20 minute nap out of him on his back. He is 12 weeks old and the longest sleep he gets is on his side for 5 hours at night. The day I got the Miracle Blanket I used it for a nap in the afternoon and he slept for 3 hours and I had to wake him up!!!! That night he slept for 6 hours!!!! He also needs to be placed in his bassinet to sleep after he has fallen asleep or he will freak out. With the blanket on he was placed in his bassinet and he smiled and went to sleep!!! I cannot tell you how wonderful this has been.

I wanted to send you and email to thank you profusely!!! I have been using the blanket for a week now and every single night has been a peaceful one!!! She is 7 weeks old and is sleeping almost entirely through the night, only waking once to nurse and is back out. This blanket is truly a miracle!!! I love how she can't wiggle free and she calms down right when I start putting her arms in.... I have praised this product to everyone I know and am going to be including it in all my future shower gifts!!!
Thank you so much!! I wish you all the best with your business!!! People as nice as you deserve success!!
Thanks again!

I read about the Miracle Blanket in rave reviews on the pregnancyandbaby.com message boards. Many new moms said the Miracle Blanket was indeed the "miracle" that got baby to sleep. They even made special "I love the miracle blanket" icons to be posted in many of the moms' signatures on the site! So I had to try it, and it did indeed work. Amen!
I just ordered three blankets as gifts for babies not yet born ... These Miracle Blankets are some of my favorite gifts to give. We LOVED ours when our baby was younger as it was the ONLY blanket we found that kept him swaddled comfortably and, in turn, gave us priceless hours of sleep! THANK YOU!!!

Mike,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. Thank you for sending the blanket. We do enjoy using the blanket and find it very effective in keeping her swaddled (when she would often pull out of an ordinary blanket no matter how diligent we were in following Dr. Karp's recommended technique).
Your customer service is clearly top notch and I was very impressed with the immediate service and commitment to care you have.
Word of mouth is a great way to market and I'm happy to recommend the miracle blanket. The comfort swaddling provides my newborn is clear and the miracle blanket has helped me keep her tightly bundled, which I appreciate.
You clearly have believers in the blanket!
Anyway, off to soothe my fussy child. Thank you again!
Best regards,

Hi Mike,
My mother-in-law, Letty Rivera, spoke with you earlier. Yes, I am a HUGE fan of the Miracle Blanket. Our first son wasn't fussy, so when our second son did we were willing to try anything! Thank God my mother-in-law read about the Miracle Blanket [in Good Housekeeping] and got it for us! The Miracle Blanket really helped during this fussy peroid. So much so that my baby who is 6 months now still enjoys being wrapped in the blanket. Terrific invention! Thank you!

I first heard about you from my Doula. At my 2 week postpartum meeting she brought it to me to try out on my newborn. He was a month early and around two weeks old started to have a bit of a growth spurt which made him a bit fussy. I had been trying to to swaddle him with a regular receiving blanket like they did at the hospital, but he would always get his arms loose and would then scratch his face and wake himself. The last two weeks have been great with the miracle blanket. He still trys to release his hands, but now the are secure and after a few minutes, he falls asleep. Now I'm ordering one to keep for myself.

Thanks! We recieved the blanket (it was at the reception desk and they forgot to leave us a note). We have been using it the last couple of days and it has really helped is get some sleep! Our 8 week old baby girl used to get her hands out of a regular blanket no matter how tightly we swaddled her and her flailing arms used to wake her up ... now she sleeps more soundly ... as do we!
Thanks!!

All I can say is thank you. The Foster Care facility really calmed down since receiving those blankets. My last conversation with her was that all 17 newborns were doing better and sleeping a lot more. From what I understand they're getting new babies everyday.
Thanks again for all your generosity. "Terry's Tiny Tots" for drug addicted babies thanks you as well.

I love your miracle blanket! It gave my husband and I priceless hours of sleep during those first three months with our newborn.

Thanks for a great product!

I received the blanket yesterday and washed it right away. After his 4:30 feeding her slept for 2 hours - the most he has ever slept since birth 3 weeks ago. Since then, I actually got rest and he slept soundly during long stretches throughout the night.
Less than 24 hours and I am a sold customer!! My next email will be to all my girlfriends expecting or with newborns. I think I've found my new staple baby gift for showers!!

I purchased two Miracle Blankets in May, gave them to my daughter at her shower in September & our twin grandsons were born on October 29. The first day or two at home the babies were a little fussy & my daughter remembered the Miracle Blankets. She & her husband swaddled the babies & from that day on the boys have been on a great schedule & now sleep for 4 or 5 hours at a time (they were premies - born at 34 1/2 weeks).
My only comment is that I realize that in every picture we have of the twins they are wearing their Miracle Blankets - it looks like all of the pictures were taken on the same day or these poor babies don't have anything else to wear! We have to remember to take photos before we put on their Miracle Blankets.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I received the advertisement in my email and thought - wow - what a great idea. Maybe I'll try it out ... a few days later I was getting my first 5 hours straight of sleep since my 6 week old was born. A first time mom, with grandiose ideas of all this free time and lazy days around the house - was no such thing. I was so thankful when the 5 hours turned into 6 which turned into 7. And, he's breastfed. What an accomplishment. I know many having babies and constantly finding myself saying, "Go to MiracleBlanket.com - buy it - buy it now!!!!" It's already worked for my friends as well! Thanks again - yeah!!!

Dear Mike,
Just a quick note to say that we loved the Miracle Blanket. In Aussie dollars, it was quite expensive, but money very well spent. Our big baby boy loved being wrapped in his blanket and it was just so easy to use. We stopped using it when he was 14 weeks old. Do you make a blanket in summer fabric? Just thinking ahead...we may have a summer baby next time!
Kind regards,

We ordered our MB when our son Kyle was about 6 weeks old. Almost overnight he had turned fussy, and our doctor recommended that we just wait it out. He was barely sleeping at night, and screamed much of the day. We had swaddled him since day one and he responded well to it, but was beginning to kick out of the receiving blanket because he was getting stronger.
The MB was exactly that - a miracle! Using it, Kyle went from sleeping 45 minutes at a time to 3 hours at a time. He was still fussy during the day, but we noticed a great change in his personality when he was well-rested. We used the MB to swaddle him when he nursed, and he was able to stay calm and eat more at each feeding.
By 12 weeks, Kyle's fussiness had almost disappeared, but he still loved his MB. Every nap and at night time, he always slept better with it. Now at 16 weeks, we are starting to slowly wean him from the blanket by keeping one arm out and letting him suck on his hand.
We love this blanket! It was a lifesaver for all of us during a very difficult period. I have no doubt we will use it for a few more months.
Thanks so much for a great product and a great customer-friendly company! It has been a pleasure.

I truly see why you have so much business. Apart from you're wonderful product you have excellent customer service! We are military stationed in Japan and I have told EVERYONE that I know about your product. It will help literally thousands over here. It's hard because a lot of women have to bare the roles of caring for an infant alone because their loved ones are away. This makes things a lot easier when you have a baby that is content, happy, and loves to SLEEP more than an hour at a time. Thanks again and I wish you and your business the best!

Good Morning Mike,
I just wanted to follow up concerning your wonderful blanket. I appreciated your personal call the week of 9/19 while staying with my daughter to care for my Grandson. Kristi received the new blanket ... and uses it every day. I can tell you that my Kristi is a believer in your wonderful product. I went on to tell 2 very dear friends here at work and they have both ordered for themselves. Donna HXXX and Jackie BXXX are now big fans too! My grandson was immediately soothed by the blanket and we would not be without it now. Thank you Mike for such a wonderful solution to an age old problem.

Dear Mike,
I spoke to you back in May when I ordered my first Miracle Blanket. I wanted to change my shipping to next day and you were great at doing that. That was very nice of you. As I said, I would be giving it to a pregnant friend of mine as a shower gift. I gave her this in August. I have to say that her mother and many others at the shower I know were thinking, "What the heck?!! What kind of contraption is this, there is no way I would use it." I had told my friend all about how great the blanket was with our daughter and she knew ahead of time what it was. I wasn't so sure she would use it though. So the baby finally arrived and I called her one day and her exact words were "You know that blanket really is a miracle!!" She said her son would not sleep well without it. I was so happy that she loved it. She called to order another one from you! So you have another believer! My daughter is now 5 months and we stopped swaddling a little after 4. She kind of hated it and was getting big for it. We would still wrap it around her body to keep her feeling "snug and warm". I have to say though, she was sick this past week and very fussy one night. The only thing that got her to sleep was wrapping her up again. We have to leave her legs out because she is too long, but we swaddled her arms again. I did that for 3 nights and then stopped. She is sleeping great again.
So keep up the good work. I wanted to tell you my little story since I know some people are thinking what in the world?!
I can't wait for our next child so we can use it again. This time I will have it from the beginning!!
Sincerely,
Sheila L.

Mike,
I received the Miracle Blanket today. It IS a miracle!!! My son is almost 7 weeks. In the past few weeks he has grown so much that swaddling in regular blankets has not been working. During the day he hasn't been napping for longer than 30 minutes and it takes me as long as an hour to even get him to sleep. Well as soon as the Miracle Blanket arrived I washed and dried it. Then I wrapped him up all up and bounced him a little. I noticed I needed to pull the fabric over his knees more so I lied him on the bed. He opened his eyes a bit, smiled and went to sleep! And I wasn't even holding him!! I was amazed. I sat there and watched him. He had never gone to sleep that soon and that easily. I watched as his body tried to startle, but couldn't. I watched as he smiled in his sleep. I think you've given me my sanity back. I didn't know what I was going to do if he didn't start napping as I am a doll sculptor and my only time to do it is if he's sleeping. I'm also excited to see how long he can sleep tonight! Thank you for creating this wonderful product. I immediately called my Mom and told her about it. She said she wishes she had this blanket when she was raising children. We are going to order more Miracle Blankets to give to relatives who have tiny babies.
Thanks again,

As I told you, I took the blanket to my son's daycare. His babysitter - who is a fan of wrapping babies - loved the AMB. And all the moms were oohing and ahhing over it when we were picking up our son in the afternoon. I will definitely be bringing it to our next ped visit this week to show my son's doctor as well. And I will never buy anyone anything else as a shower gift - all future babies will receive from me a copy of "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and one of your blankets.

I just wanted to let you know how great I think your product is. My daughter had her days and nights mixed up. She would wake up around 1:00 AM and just want to stay up, then she'd sleep all day. Since I also have a two year old, I was just about pulling my hair out. I ordered your blanket when she was eight weeks old, and used it only at night. Within two days, she was on a great schedule of sleeping through the night, and napping 3 times during the day. I thank you, and my two year old thanks you too! I will recommend this blanket to every pregnant mom I see. :)

Thanks for the quick response! It is true that as soon as my friend loaned me her Miracle Blanket, and my one twin (who has his daddy's tendancy to constantly wave his hands around) slept more soundly than he ever did, I knew I needed to have my own blankets. One thing that I did notice that was different from my friend's blanket and the one's that I ordered, the newer blankets have a deeper "leg pocket" which seems to work much better too! Keep up the good work!
I have a lot of baby showers coming up and I plan on giving the Miracle Blanket as gifts!

We were skeptical at first too & with this being our last baby, we didn't really want to fork out $30 for a possible gimmick. But I read a testimonial on here (before the forums) and contacted the poster who was from the May 2003 baby forum and they (several may03 mothers) convinced me to try it. I am SO GLAD they did, it truly is the best $30 I have ever spent. Our little guy would fuss, cry, scream for hours in the evening - this put an end to it. It wasn't an immediate effect but within a week or 2. Now for us, it really hasn't prolonged our BF baby's sleep pattern (oh, how I envy those getting more than 3+ hours sleep!!! (Someday!!!)
And I swear my daycare person would make me drive back home(clear across town) if I forgot to bring [The Miracle Blanket] with me to daycare. She's been a daycare provider for 13 years & is amazed with the effect of this product. We joke that it should be a requirement for all new babies coming to her. My little guy is 17 weeks now & on the few occasions that he "flares up" - I really appreciate this product because I have no idea how we would have "survived" these last 9 weeks without it -honest!!

I am completely sold on your product. My 7 wk. old daughter normally slept only 1 1/2 - 2 hr periods at night. I looked at your website a few weeks ago and decided to tough it out but when she didn't start to sleep longer, I ordered it last Sunday. It arrived only 3 days later and we have used it for the last 2 nights and she has slept for 4 and 6 hour periods. My husband and I believe in swaddling but it was impossible to keep her in a blanket as she wiggled her way out in minutes. The miracle blanket is wonderful and I am recommending it to everyone I know with a newborn!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!! My preemie son has had a HORRIBLE time sleeping on his own since he was born. He's 5 1/2 weeks old and has had to sleep in my arms every night since he's been home from the hospital (so this means that I haven't slept soundly since before he was born!).
A friend suggested that I try the miracle blanket to sooth him. I told her that I had tried swaddling before, and it never worked for my baby. Well....I guess I must be "Swaddling Impaired" because the very first time I tried the Miracle Blanket, my son SLEPT BY HIMSELF in his cradle for 3 1/2 hours straight! I actually had to wake him up to feed him! A first!!!
Since then, he's slept by himself every single time I put him down for bed.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

I just have to say this product is fabulous. [Our 2 mos old] was sleeping 3-5 hours at a time at night. I swaddled him last night and he slept a total of 12 hours (just waking for feedings). He's a much happier baby now and I would recommend this product to anyone. It truly is miraculous!

Wow! I'm picking my jaw up off the floor from the shock! I NEVER EVER expected
such great customer service! I feel so bad-I knew you're not a big corporation YET!!! :). I really can't tell you how much this blanket has saved my sanity!Forget comfort objects like teddy bears--Zachary wants his
miracle blanket! The one night we had an "accident" from pooperman (hee hee) and he didn't have the blanket, he was literally up all night. I couldn't wait for the dryer to finish--and as soon as it did, he was out like a light. I can't wait until someone I know gets pregnant so I can buy them one (I'll probably make lots of best friends that way :o)

Oh thank you!! Believe me, I'm already spreading the word about your wonderful blanket ... it TRULY is "Amazing". His blanket goes everywhere with us - we can't "peacefully" survive with out it. That sounds rather silly but it is true. Gosh, where were you & your product 7 years ago with our first baby!!! (Actually, your personal story sounds exactly like us except for their genders - we have 2 girls and boy - but same scenario, exactly.) Thank you so much for this product.

I want to thank you for giving my son back to my wife and I. He is almost 3 weeks old and starting suffering from fussiness almost immediately. We feared the nights because we knew we would have a crying baby for 4-6 hours. Last night, using your blanket, he slept so deep that we actually had to wake him up for a feeding!
We are believers in your product!

This is "a little incredible". I did not think it was possible for a "blanket" to make such a difference. Do you sprinkle them with magic pixie dust - or what? :-). Our dd went from sleeping 45-50 minutes to sleeping 9-10 hours! This can't be real! Thank you so much for such a WONDERFUL product!

Thank you so much Michael!
You're right! I can't imagine dealing without a blanket while waiting for a new one :) I post on a message board (www.ovusoft.com) and EVERYONE that has a Miracle Blanket just raves about how well it works. Anytime anyone has a baby that sounds like they could benefit from swaddling, they get 3 or 4 people (at least!) telling them that they need to check out your blanket. Your excellent customer service is the clincher and is the reason that people are willing to pay the price that you're asking. I was hesitant to buy it b/c of the price, but knowing the return policy and knowing from my friends how well it worked, I was willing to pay the price and haven't regretted it for a minute!
My new gift to anyone I know in the future that's having a baby will be The Happiest Baby On the Block and a Miracle Blanket :)

Thanks so much for a great product. Our baby is very large - 15 pounds at 2 months old! So I wasn't sure there was anything that could hold her tight, but your blanket has worked beautifully! It is more secure, and also so much easier for my husband and I than a regular blanket. I also appreciate that it is cotton instead of fleece, so I never worry about her overheating. Thanks again for creating your wonderful blanket!

I LOVE this blanket!!! My 7 week old daughter was constantly coming out of her swaddle when we used a receiving blanket - no matter how tight we made it! She wasn't napping well during the day and jerking herself awake during the night. I heard about this blanket at a new Mom's group and immediately came home and ordered 2! The first night she slept for 8 straight hours, the second night for 9! She even takes 2 hour naps now!!! We would be luck to get an hour nap before.
This should be sold in every store in America!!! I am telling everyone about this blanket!! Thank you!! It is truly a miracle blanket!!

Hi Mike!
Well, last week at my New Mom's Group, when I walked in, there was a conversation going on about the MB!! A bunch of girls in the group have ordered them and are loving them. They were all saying "It really is a miracle just like you said!!" I'm wondering if you might be willing to come and be one of our guest speakers some time. Maybe you have a spiel about putting babies to sleep successfully or something, and then you could tell about the MB. Oh, but are you even in the Dallas area though!?
Have you tried to get the blanket sold at Babies 'R Us? It would sell like hotcakes there!

This blanket has the perfect name! It is a miracle! I heard about your blanket when my daughter was 3 weeks old. I so desperately did not want to go through all the sleepness nights like I did with my son. Although I tried to swaddle him, I experienced much frustration with not being able to swaddle properly so he always kicked his way out of it within minutes. The Miracle Blanket has made this 2nd time Mom a very happy, well rested parent! My husband is in awe. It's like we don't even have a baby in the house because we get a full night sleep every night which was unheard of with my son. I plan on telling every Mom of your product and this will be my future baby shower gift for everyone. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

I can't say enough good things about your product. I had already survived 4 months plus of a fussy daughter 2 years ago. So when my son was born this June I totally felt prepared for anything. Well let's just say he put his big sister to shame in the crying dept. Your blanket has made such a difference! He was sleeping MAX 1.5hrs to 2 hrs at a time and even that was a STRUGGLE. I am not kidding when I say within MINUTES of putting him in your blanket he was out - on his own! He is almost 11 pounds and 23 inches long. I have no problem wrapping him in the blanket.
Thank you so much for such a great product! I have purchased two and would recommend it to any and everyone with a baby.

I just received the Miracle Blanket yesterday and used it last night. The only reason I am even able to write to you is because my daughter is still asleep this morning. I read the book "Happiest Baby on The Block" by Dr. Karp and was having great success in getting my 6 week old baby to sleep finally. The only problem was I needed the help of my husband to get her swaddled snug enough. I read about the Miracle Blanket and thought it sounded great. Last night we swaddled her together and then after her 530am diaper change and feeding I was able to swaddle her myself without any problems. She is asleep now at 9:00am. Thank you so much for making my life so much easier, I will be telling all my friends who have young babies about this wonderful product, and I will give it as a gift at any baby shower!
Thank you again!

Just wanted to let you know that we really like our new miracle blanket. Our daughter had starting to outgrow the receiving blanket and we needed something that she wouldn't kick out of. The Miracle Blanket is soft, washes well and our daughter loves it. She has not pulled out of it yet and sleeps very soundly. I would certainly recommend it to a friend.
Thanks for making a quality product.

Dear Mike at Miracle Blanket,
I have to take the time to tell you that yes - the Miracle Blanket truly is a miracle!! You have saved our lives. I know that sounds dramatic, but to sleep deprived parents, it is truly incredible. Our baby boy, Joaquin, is a good baby, but nights were difficult to say the least. He simply could not sleep on his back in his crib, or at least not for very long. His arms and legs would flail about and he would startle himself out of sleep. That is, if we could even get him to sleep, because he would be kicking and moving his arms so much he couldn't settle down. He became so overtired and would cry inconsolably. It would take us hours of rocking him to make him doze off and then he would end up having to sleep sitting up in his car seat because he was more snug there than in his crib.
Then, in the course of emailing back and forth to my cousin, who also has a newborn, he asked me if I tried swaddling my son. I laughed to myself and wrote to him how impossible it was because he kicked out of his blanket in 2 minutes. Also, he had already outgrown the receiving blankets that the hospital staff had shown us to use to swaddle him. So he told me about the Miracle Blanket. I had tried so many other ways to put him to sleep I wasn't sure this method was going to be any better, but I had nothing to lose (except another sleepless night!). I called up and asked for overnight shipping (I was desperate to get that blanket).
My husband was skeptical that this "special" blanket was going to work, but lo and behold - it was the first night that our son slept through the night! In fact we woke up in the middle of the night a bit panicked because we hadn't heard a peep out of him. When we ran into his nursery to check on him, there he lay, on his back, snuggled in the blanket, looking as content as could be. It has now been a blissful week since we first received the blanket and our baby boy actually smiles as I'm wrapping him up in it for the night. At first my husband thought he looked like a mummy from the shoulders down, but our son loves the secure feeling of being all tucked in, his arms aren't flailing, and he's a happier baby because he gets his proper rest.
I have already told several of my friends, who have all become parents around the same time, and one due in August, about the miracle blanket. I've even done a demonstration and they were amazed at how he settled down right away.
All I can say is: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!
I will keep spreading the word!
Yours truly (and gratefully),

This blanket truly is a miracle! I'm still using mine and my baby is 3-1/5 months old. At bed time, he normally fusses terribly, so I wrap him up in the blanket and [give him his] pacifier and he is just as content as can be, and then falls asleep without a peep.
I have recommended the blanket to all my pregnant and new mommy friends, and even took it with me to my New Mom's Group to pitch it there! Thanks for giving me the tool to allow me to get some sleep :)

Just a note to let you know that Stella and I are still successfully using your Miracle Blanket. Hopefully soon we won't need it - no offense - and she'll sleep more soundly on her own, but for now it is great. She is getting much more coordinated with her arms and legs and there is no way I could swaddle her in a regular blanket now!
Also, I wanted to let you know that perhaps another selling point that you could utilize is the convenience of travelling with this blanket. Not only is it comforting to the baby to have the same blanket during travel, but it is easy for mom to use on the airplane. I had Stella in an infant carrier (Baby Bjorn) while I boarded the plane and had to get her swaddled and nursing while sitting in my airplane seat... man, those seats just get smaller and smaller.
Anyway, I was able to get her swaddled by placing the miracle blanket on my lap with the foot pouch just past my knees and her head in my lap. People were a bit taken aback by the "straight jacket" look, but once she calmed down and started nursing and then SLEPT for the entire time, they didn't care what it looked like - it worked! No way I'd get her swaddled in a regular blanket in an airplane seat. I think the whole flight thanks you.
Thanks again,

Hi Mike,
We just received our Miracle Blanket in the mail yesterday and it has already improved our baby's sleep. I appreciate the extra hours it has already afforded me! Emma (our six week old baby) napped for an extra hour during the day and slept over five hours in a row during the night (she usually only gave me three or four hours in a row at night). I am definitely going to recommend the Miracle Blanket to friends who are pregnant.
Thank you for inventing and marketing such a wonderful product.

I just want to say "thank you", for 2 reasons. One, your blanket is a miracle. Two, thanks for introducing me to the magic of Dr.Karp. I have read his book and am amazed that his techniques have really worked for my baby. But, it would have been impossible without your blanket or info on your website. I am ordering another blanket because last night my first AMB (Amazing Miracle Blanket) was in the laundry. We were up almost every hour whereas my son had been sleeping 3-4 hours wrapped in an AMB. I tried to swaddle him in other blankets, but he was to strong and I was too tired. I am also impressed that with the AMB, I don't have to worry about loose blankets. I have a friend that is due next month and I will be telling her about your blanket and Dr. Karp's book.
Thank-you,

I'll add my thanks to your ever-growing list. My son has been sleeping through the night since three weeks with your blanket. And for the fussy times in the middle of the day, I use the blanket when nothing else seems to work - and he's asleep within minutes! And it holds up so well after washing. I plan to make this my de facto gift for all my friends with new babies. Thanks for making a product that does what it says it will. BTW, you should advertise more so that every new mother can reap the benefits of this blanket -have you showed it to Oprah??!!

Well, the success continues. We are using the miracle blanket exclusively now, and she is starting to calm down even at the sight of it - just like you said. She slept 7 hours last night and for 6 the night before ... and is taking a nice, long nap now. AND - here's another selling point - we had a baby sitter last night so we could celebrate our anniversary and explaining to her how to swaddle with the Miracle Blanket was so easy -I can't imagine trying to teach a baby-sitter how to swaddle with a regular blanket! So, it was nice for the sitter to be able to get her swaddled and fed and then down for a nap - otherwise, she would've had a really fussy baby all night.
So, thank you for the great product.
Best of luck and I'll be spreading the word.

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what I think of your Amazing Miracle Blanket. This product is truly amazing! I just got a foster baby, who is a preemie born at 32 weeks and abandoned) and somewhat fussy....that is until I tried your blanket on her....now she seldom cries. I love the weight of this blanket and also how it doesn't shrink after being washed & dried. I LOVE THIS AMAZING MIRACLE BLANKET!

THANK YOU so much for creating and marketing this blanket. We ordered our blanket on 6-6 and received it on 6-9. I rushed to wash it and get it ready for our daughter. SHE SLEPT so peacefully last night. I am in LOVE with this blanket. It soothes her and calms her down. She is 3 weeks old and was 9 lbs when she was born (22 inches long) so most of our receiving blankets were too short for her and she kicked out of them. She loves to be swaddled and this blanket is great. I am going to order more blankets as back ups.
I am so satisfied with this product. It is truly a miracle blanket.
Thank you so much.

Hello Mike,
Well we have tried the Miracle Blanket for the past 3 nights and it really does work wonderfully! Upon trying it I found that my worries about having my son tightly wrapped for too long are not really an issue with this blanket because the design allows for a looser wrap than a traditional blanket, is still very effective, and still he "stays put" in it! He actually smiled last night when my husband went to swaddle him for bed time and as soon as he is wrapped and comfy he settles right down :) He sleeps very soundly in the blanket and does not wake himself by startling when using the blanket as he does without it. Congratulations on your wonderful product, a much needed item for the sleep deprived :)

I am so glad that I emailed you the links to our [message board at ovusoft.com]. As you can see, everyone is ecstatic about your invention. We are using it with gracie but she is 3 and a half mos so soon she wont need it. I am thrilled that we will have it for our next baby the day we bring him/her home from the hospital. I am very impressed with your charitable contributions re: the blanket. What a wonderful way to give back and help children with disablities. I plan on posting your message to the girls who got the blanket so they, too, can see how important it is for us to keep spreading the word about the miracle blanket. My husband and I both know how difficult it is to get a small business going and we will keep spreading the word to help as much as possible. Thanks again for your incredible invention.

Good morning Mike,
I had forwarded the Miracle Blanket to Hilary and Ian in the UK immediately upon receipt.... but did not managed to speak to them... but, guess what, they called last night... When they received the blanket, they were extremely doubtful (particularly as they had tried swaddling - without results - as advised by the hospital). After some five rather difficult and sleepless nights, they decided to give it a go. They are absolutely delighted. Lily is sleeping like an angel and they (almost) have to wake her up for her feedings. They concluded by "if Miracle Blanket ever needs an agent in the UK, we shall do it!" So, please accept the grateful thanks of the new parents and the "old aunty" (me).
I do hope that you and your wife will be able to come to Switzerland in the near future. It is a beautiful country. From my office, I have the most perfect view of the Mont Blanc but must admit that, after so many years, I am not really paying much attention to the view.
Thank you for your help.

Hello Mike,
I am so very happy to say that I have a sleeping baby right now! The blanket is wonderful! He is all snuggled up and sleeping peacefully. He hardly cried while I wrapped him, and then he fell right to sleep. It is so easy to use. My husband and I
actually tried masking tape a couple times because any type of blanket we used would unwrap. Not this one! Plus, it is so lightweight I don't have to worry about overheating. I also love that I can leave his feet out. This works great with his swing- we were always struggling with thick blankets and not able to get him safely in his swing because both his legs had to go to one side and we couldn't use the seat belt. Your blanket is fabulous for the swing.
I have to tell you how nice it is to find other people who understand how impossible it can be to get these babies to sleep. And how much frustration my husband and I dealt with trying to keep him wrapped tight enough, cool enough, safe, etc. I truly believe that if more people knew about your product, it would be sold everywhere!Thank you again for your wonderful product and truly understanding words. Please feel free to use any of this email as a testimonial. I will keep in touch as we continue to use it. So far, it is an instant success. Thank you, thank you!

After marvelling at how deftly the nurses swaddled our little girl in the hospital, my wife and I tried to duplicate their efforts. We got a lesson from one nurse and read swaddling instructions in several books in our attempts to wrap our baby to keep her warm, snug, and secure. From the start, our child slept MUCH better swaddled, sleeping through the night very early. Unswaddled, she constantly woke herself up with the jerky and flailing arms and legs many babies seem to have. While she was very small, it wasn't hard to keep the swaddling blanket in place. But, as she grew bigger and stronger, the little Houdini quickly learned how to escape the wrap. We tried various arrangements and methods, but she got out of each one. Plus, she seemed to get awfully hot while swaddled because we had to use two blankets to keep her wrapped up.
One day, after hearing about a recent study concerning the benefits of swaddling, I searched online for more information and happened upon the Miracle Blanket website. The design seemed to make so much sense and appeared easy to use, so I ordered a Miracle Blanket for my daughter. By this time, she was several months old and we had all but given up swaddling because she either escaped the wrap or became overheated,so our child was no longer able to sleep through the night. The Miracle Blanket solved our problem. Most helpful was the foot pocket, because it allowed the baby some freedom to move her legs without becoming unwrapped. The internal "wings" kept her arms at her sides so she was able to calm herself when first put down to sleep and avoid waking herself up by fidgeting during sleep. We brought the Miracle Blanket to our daycare provider, who also was having trouble swaddling our child, and she agreed it was a fine solution to the problem. My mother saw it and immediately asked how she could order several Miracle Blankets for baby shower gifts. I know any parent would be delighted to receive such a helpful gift. Thank you for making it available!

Hi Mike,
I wanted to let you know that I received the blankets yesterday. We just put our one month old son down for the second night wrapped in it. He seems to love it so far. He slept 6 hours straight last night, followed by 4 hours straight after a quick feeding. You can't complain about that at 1 month! It was so nice to get him and see that he was still swaddled after 6 hours. My husband ...[is] getting the hang of it now. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

I do love the blanket for the fact that I have trouble swaddling with regular blankets. This makes it very easy. As I aid before it does calm my little guy down, and I have followed the instructions on getting him into a deep sleep, I have even followed the techniques given by Dr. Karp's 'Happiest Baby On The Block' book.
I have tried the swing, the bouncy seat and the car seat - he wakes up and screams not anymore!

So far I love the blanket. I have twins. One is fussy, the other is fine.
It is hard to find blankets big enough to even swaddle her properly, then it is even harder to get it all back on in the middle of the night. It keeps her stiller than anything else. I am definitely happy I purchased this and will recommend it to my friends. I even brought it up in the baby support group today.

I had read Dr. Karp's book, The Happiest Baby on the Block, and I had also seen Dr. Karp demonstrate his swaddling method on a TV program, along with his other recommended calming methods. Also, in the hospital, a nurse demonstrated swaddling with receiving blankets to my daughter and her husband. But it was a very ineffective swaddle for any infant who squirms much, and our little Annika did squirm and fuss a lot.
None of the many blankets my daughter received as gifts were very effective blankets either, and none of them were large enough to do the swaddling as Dr. Karp recommended. So, I bought flannel material to have two larger blankets sewn for us. This time, the size was great, but Annika could still squirm out of them, and they became "scrunched up", especially when transferring Annika from one person to another. I searched for better blankets in the stores that would be of thinner, stretchier material. I finally located some that were the best option at that point. However, Annika's father was very frustrated trying to swaddle and quit trying even though I kept telling him it would help to calm Annika down when he was "on duty".
Finally, I searched the Internet for swaddling blankets. I wasted a lot of time until I finally discovered your site. I could tell immediately, upon seeing the simple drawings and instructions for your Miracle Blanket, that your blanket would finally do the trick.
By this time, my two daughters and their husbands were really tired of hearing about the wonders of swaddling. When I told them I had just ordered a blanket called the "Miracle Blanket", they all rolled their eyes. Soon, however, those eyes stopped rolling and started sleeping because the Miracle Blanket helped her to sleep more than short catnaps throughout the day. She would wake up with a smile after having good two-hour naps, instead of always waking up with a frown and crying after only very fitful, short naps. Finally, we could take some photographs of a smiling baby.
Because Annika still loves to be swaddled, but appears to have outgrown the blanket, we would love to have a little larger version of your Miracle Blanket.
By the way Annika's father couldn't believe how simple and effective the Miracle Blanket is, and he's telling other people about the wonders of swaddling, after discovering that swaddling was not difficult at all with the Miracle Blanket.

Since I've used [the Miracle Blanket]before, I know that the breathable flannel is wonderful, and not stretchy like other blankets, which give baby too much room to get his arms out. The fabric is great. Baby has tons of blankets, but only gets to sleep in this one! :-)

My son was born sick and he needed lots of meds; some that would keep him upset and always crying as he was going from one hospital to another until he was two months old. Finally someone told me of the blanket wrapping. This I'd never done to any of my other four children I'd always let them have all the room they needed to 'flow'; this was always my way. But I will tell you that it was a blessing to find a way for my son to finally get some peaceful rest. He was finally sleeping - not crying, not jerking all the time - he really loved being wrapped up in this blanket. It didn't seem right at first; I'd always done my others differently. It actually took will power to feel good about wrapping my son. But it was the best possible treatment ever. I feel every one could have as much to learn from others as I did. He was so happy, warm and peaceful, but most of all he sleep 'like a baby'. I hope more people try this as just a way to keep your wonderful babies feeling as safe and happy as they did when they looked up at you for the first time.
God bless!

I have said it before and will say it again - these blankets are the greatest for parents who swaddle. I have been telling every pregnant woman I know about them. And every baby shower gift from now on will be one of your blankets and a copy of Dr. Karp's book.

I love [The Miracle Blanket]and will buy it for all of my friends who have little babies and who are expecting. What a wonderful baby shower gift. I only wish someone had given me one a lot sooner. It would have saved me a lot of sleepless nights and exhausted days. ALso, the old blankets I was using kept riding over his face at night once he "broke out" of his blanket which would cause me to panic and check him every hour or 2. I would wake from sleep just to make sure he was ok. This blanket really puts my mind at ease because it is not riding up because he can't wriggle out of it. Ah, I love it!

I have found the miracle blanket to be a REAL MIRACLE!!!!! My little [one]does not like to sleep on his back at all, any time, day or night. During the day I was lucky to get a 20 minute nap out of him on his back. He is 12 weeks old and the longest sleep he gets is on his side for 5 hours at night. The day I got the Miracle Blanket I used it for a nap in the afternoon and he slept for 3 hours and I had to wake him up!!!! That night he slept for 6 hours!!!! He also needs to be placed in his bassinet to sleep after he has fallen asleep or he will freak out. With the blanket on he was placed in his bassinet and he smiled and went to sleep!!! I cannot tell you how wonderful this has been.

I wanted to send you and email to thank you profusely!!! I have been using the blanket for a week now and every single night has been a peaceful one!!! She is 7 weeks old and is sleeping almost entirely through the night, only waking once to nurse and is back out. This blanket is truly a miracle!!! I love how she can't wiggle free and she calms down right when I start putting her arms in.... I have praised this product to everyone I know and am going to be including it in all my future shower gifts!!!
Thank you so much!! I wish you all the best with your business!!! People as nice as you deserve success!!
Thanks again!

I read about the Miracle Blanket in rave reviews on the pregnancyandbaby.com message boards. Many new moms said the Miracle Blanket was indeed the "miracle" that got baby to sleep. They even made special "I love the miracle blanket" icons to be posted in many of the moms' signatures on the site! So I had to try it, and it did indeed work. Amen!
I just ordered three blankets as gifts for babies not yet born ... These Miracle Blankets are some of my favorite gifts to give. We LOVED ours when our baby was younger as it was the ONLY blanket we found that kept him swaddled comfortably and, in turn, gave us priceless hours of sleep! THANK YOU!!!

Mike,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. Thank you for sending the blanket. We do enjoy using the blanket and find it very effective in keeping her swaddled (when she would often pull out of an ordinary blanket no matter how diligent we were in following Dr. Karp's recommended technique).
Your customer service is clearly top notch and I was very impressed with the immediate service and commitment to care you have.
Word of mouth is a great way to market and I'm happy to recommend the miracle blanket. The comfort swaddling provides my newborn is clear and the miracle blanket has helped me keep her tightly bundled, which I appreciate.
You clearly have believers in the blanket!
Anyway, off to soothe my fussy child. Thank you again!
Best regards,

Hi Mike,
My mother-in-law, Letty Rivera, spoke with you earlier. Yes, I am a HUGE fan of the Miracle Blanket. Our first son wasn't fussy, so when our second son did we were willing to try anything! Thank God my mother-in-law read about the Miracle Blanket [in Good Housekeeping] and got it for us! The Miracle Blanket really helped during this fussy peroid. So much so that my baby who is 6 months now still enjoys being wrapped in the blanket. Terrific invention! Thank you!

I first heard about you from my Doula. At my 2 week postpartum meeting she brought it to me to try out on my newborn. He was a month early and around two weeks old started to have a bit of a growth spurt which made him a bit fussy. I had been trying to to swaddle him with a regular receiving blanket like they did at the hospital, but he would always get his arms loose and would then scratch his face and wake himself. The last two weeks have been great with the miracle blanket. He still trys to release his hands, but now the are secure and after a few minutes, he falls asleep. Now I'm ordering one to keep for myself.

Thanks! We recieved the blanket (it was at the reception desk and they forgot to leave us a note). We have been using it the last couple of days and it has really helped is get some sleep! Our 8 week old baby girl used to get her hands out of a regular blanket no matter how tightly we swaddled her and her flailing arms used to wake her up ... now she sleeps more soundly ... as do we!

Thanks for a great product!

I received the blanket yesterday and washed it right away. After his 4:30 feeding her slept for 2 hours - the most he has ever slept since birth 3 weeks ago. Since then, I actually got rest and he slept soundly during long stretches throughout the night.
Less than 24 hours and I am a sold customer!! My next email will be to all my girlfriends expecting or with newborns. I think I've found my new staple baby gift for showers!!

I purchased two Miracle Blankets in May, gave them to my daughter at her shower in September & our twin grandsons were born on October 29. The first day or two at home the babies were a little fussy & my daughter remembered the Miracle Blankets. She & her husband swaddled the babies & from that day on the boys have been on a great schedule & now sleep for 4 or 5 hours at a time (they were premies - born at 34 1/2 weeks).
My only comment is that I realize that in every picture we have of the twins they are wearing their Miracle Blankets - it looks like all of the pictures were taken on the same day or these poor babies don't have anything else to wear! We have to remember to take photos before we put on their Miracle Blankets.

I received the advertisement in my email and thought - wow - what a great idea. Maybe I'll try it out ... a few days later I was getting my first 5 hours straight of sleep since my 6 week old was born. A first time mom, with grandiose ideas of all this free time and lazy days around the house - was no such thing. I was so thankful when the 5 hours turned into 6 which turned into 7. And, he's breastfed. What an accomplishment. I know many having babies and constantly finding myself saying, "Go to MiracleBlanket.com - buy it - buy it now!!!!" It's already worked for my friends as well! Thanks again - yeah!!!

Dear Mike,
Just a quick note to say that we loved the Miracle Blanket. In Aussie dollars, it was quite expensive, but money very well spent. Our big baby boy loved being wrapped in his blanket and it was just so easy to use. We stopped using it when he was 14 weeks old. Do you make a blanket in summer fabric? Just thinking ahead...we may have a summer baby next time!
Kind regards,

We ordered our MB when our son Kyle was about 6 weeks old. Almost overnight he had turned fussy, and our doctor recommended that we just wait it out. He was barely sleeping at night, and screamed much of the day. We had swaddled him since day one and he responded well to it, but was beginning to kick out of the receiving blanket because he was getting stronger.
The MB was exactly that - a miracle! Using it, Kyle went from sleeping 45 minutes at a time to 3 hours at a time. He was still fussy during the day, but we noticed a great change in his personality when he was well-rested. We used the MB to swaddle him when he nursed, and he was able to stay calm and eat more at each feeding.
By 12 weeks, Kyle's fussiness had almost disappeared, but he still loved his MB. Every nap and at night time, he always slept better with it. Now at 16 weeks, we are starting to slowly wean him from the blanket by keeping one arm out and letting him suck on his hand.
We love this blanket! It was a lifesaver for all of us during a very difficult period. I have no doubt we will use it for a few more months.
Thanks so much for a great product and a great customer-friendly company! It has been a pleasure.

I truly see why you have so much business. Apart from you're wonderful product you have excellent customer service! We are military stationed in Japan and I have told EVERYONE that I know about your product. It will help literally thousands over here. It's hard because a lot of women have to bare the roles of caring for an infant alone because their loved ones are away. This makes things a lot easier when you have a baby that is content, happy, and loves to SLEEP more than an hour at a time. Thanks again and I wish you and your business the best!

Good Morning Mike,
I just wanted to follow up concerning your wonderful blanket. I appreciated your personal call the week of 9/19 while staying with my daughter to care for my Grandson. Kristi received the new blanket ... and uses it every day. I can tell you that my Kristi is a believer in your wonderful product. I went on to tell 2 very dear friends here at work and they have both ordered for themselves. Donna HXXX and Jackie BXXX are now big fans too! My grandson was immediately soothed by the blanket and we would not be without it now. Thank you Mike for such a wonderful solution to an age old problem.

Dear Mike,
I spoke to you back in May when I ordered my first Miracle Blanket. I wanted to change my shipping to next day and you were great at doing that. That was very nice of you. As I said, I would be giving it to a pregnant friend of mine as a shower gift. I gave her this in August. I have to say that her mother and many others at the shower I know were thinking, "What the heck?!! What kind of contraption is this, there is no way I would use it." I had told my friend all about how great the blanket was with our daughter and she knew ahead of time what it was. I wasn't so sure she would use it though. So the baby finally arrived and I called her one day and her exact words were "You know that blanket really is a miracle!!" She said her son would not sleep well without it. I was so happy that she loved it. She called to order another one from you! So you have another believer! My daughter is now 5 months and we stopped swaddling a little after 4. She kind of hated it and was getting big for it. We would still wrap it around her body to keep her feeling "snug and warm". I have to say though, she was sick this past week and very fussy one night. The only thing that got her to sleep was wrapping her up again. We have to leave her legs out because she is too long, but we swaddled her arms again. I did that for 3 nights and then stopped. She is sleeping great again.
So keep up the good work. I wanted to tell you my little story since I know some people are thinking what in the world?!
I can't wait for our next child so we can use it again. This time I will have it from the beginning!!
Sincerely,
Sheila L.

Mike,
I received the Miracle Blanket today. It IS a miracle!!! My son is almost 7 weeks. In the past few weeks he has grown so much that swaddling in regular blankets has not been working. During the day he hasn't been napping for longer than 30 minutes and it takes me as long as an hour to even get him to sleep. Well as soon as the Miracle Blanket arrived I washed and dried it. Then I wrapped him up all up and bounced him a little. I noticed I needed to pull the fabric over his knees more so I lied him on the bed. He opened his eyes a bit, smiled and went to sleep! And I wasn't even holding him!! I was amazed. I sat there and watched him. He had never gone to sleep that soon and that easily. I watched as his body tried to startle, but couldn't. I watched as he smiled in his sleep. I think you've given me my sanity back. I didn't know what I was going to do if he didn't start napping as I am a doll sculptor and my only time to do it is if he's sleeping. I'm also excited to see how long he can sleep tonight! Thank you for creating this wonderful product. I immediately called my Mom and told her about it. She said she wishes she had this blanket when she was raising children. We are going to order more Miracle Blankets to give to relatives who have tiny babies.
Thanks again,

As I told you, I took the blanket to my son's daycare. His babysitter - who is a fan of wrapping babies - loved the AMB. And all the moms were oohing and ahhing over it when we were picking up our son in the afternoon. I will definitely be bringing it to our next ped visit this week to show my son's doctor as well. And I will never buy anyone anything else as a shower gift - all future babies will receive from me a copy of "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and one of your blankets.

I just wanted to let you know how great I think your product is. My daughter had her days and nights mixed up. She would wake up around 1:00 AM and just want to stay up, then she'd sleep all day. Since I also have a two year old, I was just about pulling my hair out. I ordered your blanket when she was eight weeks old, and used it only at night. Within two days, she was on a great schedule of sleeping through the night, and napping 3 times during the day. I thank you, and my two year old thanks you too! I will recommend this blanket to every pregnant mom I see. :)

Thanks for the quick response! It is true that as soon as my friend loaned me her Miracle Blanket, and my one twin (who has his daddy's tendancy to constantly wave his hands around) slept more soundly than he ever did, I knew I needed to have my own blankets. One thing that I did notice that was different from my friend's blanket and the one's that I ordered, the newer blankets have a deeper "leg pocket" which seems to work much better too! Keep up the good work!
I have a lot of baby showers coming up and I plan on giving the Miracle Blanket as gifts!

We were skeptical at first too & with this being our last baby, we didn't really want to fork out $30 for a possible gimmick. But I read a testimonial on here (before the forums) and contacted the poster who was from the May 2003 baby forum and they (several may03 mothers) convinced me to try it. I am SO GLAD they did, it truly is the best $30 I have ever spent. Our little guy would fuss, cry, scream for hours in the evening - this put an end to it. It wasn't an immediate effect but within a week or 2. Now for us, it really hasn't prolonged our BF baby's sleep pattern (oh, how I envy those getting more than 3+ hours sleep!!! (Someday!!!)
And I swear my daycare person would make me drive back home(clear across town) if I forgot to bring [The Miracle Blanket] with me to daycare. She's been a daycare provider for 13 years & is amazed with the effect of this product. We joke that it should be a requirement for all new babies coming to her. My little guy is 17 weeks now & on the few occasions that he "flares up" - I really appreciate this product because I have no idea how we would have "survived" these last 9 weeks without it -honest!!

I am completely sold on your product. My 7 wk. old daughter normally slept only 1 1/2 - 2 hr periods at night. I looked at your website a few weeks ago and decided to tough it out but when she didn't start to sleep longer, I ordered it last Sunday. It arrived only 3 days later and we have used it for the last 2 nights and she has slept for 4 and 6 hour periods. My husband and I believe in swaddling but it was impossible to keep her in a blanket as she wiggled her way out in minutes. The miracle blanket is wonderful and I am recommending it to everyone I know with a newborn!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!! My preemie son has had a HORRIBLE time sleeping on his own since he was born. He's 5 1/2 weeks old and has had to sleep in my arms every night since he's been home from the hospital (so this means that I haven't slept soundly since before he was born!).
A friend suggested that I try the miracle blanket to sooth him. I told her that I had tried swaddling before, and it never worked for my baby. Well....I guess I must be "Swaddling Impaired" because the very first time I tried the Miracle Blanket, my son SLEPT BY HIMSELF in his cradle for 3 1/2 hours straight! I actually had to wake him up to feed him! A first!!!
Since then, he's slept by himself every single time I put him down for bed.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

such great customer service! I feel so bad-I knew you're not a big corporation YET!!! :). I really can't tell you how much this blanket has saved my sanity!Forget comfort objects like teddy bears--Zachary wants his
miracle blanket! The one night we had an "accident" from pooperman (hee hee) and he didn't have the blanket, he was literally up all night. I couldn't wait for the dryer to finish--and as soon as it did, he was out like a light. I can't wait until someone I know gets pregnant so I can buy them one (I'll probably make lots of best friends that way :o)

Oh thank you!! Believe me, I'm already spreading the word about your wonderful blanket ... it TRULY is "Amazing". His blanket goes everywhere with us - we can't "peacefully" survive with out it. That sounds rather silly but it is true. Gosh, where were you & your product 7 years ago with our first baby!!! (Actually, your personal story sounds exactly like us except for their genders - we have 2 girls and boy - but same scenario, exactly.) Thank you so much for this product.

I want to thank you for giving my son back to my wife and I. He is almost 3 weeks old and starting suffering from fussiness almost immediately. We feared the nights because we knew we would have a crying baby for 4-6 hours. Last night, using your blanket, he slept so deep that we actually had to wake him up for a feeding!
We are believers in your product!

This is "a little incredible". I did not think it was possible for a "blanket" to make such a difference. Do you sprinkle them with magic pixie dust - or what? :-). Our dd went from sleeping 45-50 minutes to sleeping 9-10 hours! This can't be real! Thank you so much for such a WONDERFUL product!

Thank you so much Michael!
You're right! I can't imagine dealing without a blanket while waiting for a new one :) I post on a message board (www.ovusoft.com) and EVERYONE that has a Miracle Blanket just raves about how well it works. Anytime anyone has a baby that sounds like they could benefit from swaddling, they get 3 or 4 people (at least!) telling them that they need to check out your blanket. Your excellent customer service is the clincher and is the reason that people are willing to pay the price that you're asking. I was hesitant to buy it b/c of the price, but knowing the return policy and knowing from my friends how well it worked, I was willing to pay the price and haven't regretted it for a minute!
My new gift to anyone I know in the future that's having a baby will be The Happiest Baby On the Block and a Miracle Blanket :)

Thanks so much for a great product. Our baby is very large - 15 pounds at 2 months old! So I wasn't sure there was anything that could hold her tight, but your blanket has worked beautifully! It is more secure, and also so much easier for my husband and I than a regular blanket. I also appreciate that it is cotton instead of fleece, so I never worry about her overheating. Thanks again for creating your wonderful blanket!

I LOVE this blanket!!! My 7 week old daughter was constantly coming out of her swaddle when we used a receiving blanket - no matter how tight we made it! She wasn't napping well during the day and jerking herself awake during the night. I heard about this blanket at a new Mom's group and immediately came home and ordered 2! The first night she slept for 8 straight hours, the second night for 9! She even takes 2 hour naps now!!! We would be luck to get an hour nap before.
This should be sold in every store in America!!! I am telling everyone about this blanket!! Thank you!! It is truly a miracle blanket!!

Hi Mike!
Well, last week at my New Mom's Group, when I walked in, there was a conversation going on about the MB!! A bunch of girls in the group have ordered them and are loving them. They were all saying "It really is a miracle just like you said!!" I'm wondering if you might be willing to come and be one of our guest speakers some time. Maybe you have a spiel about putting babies to sleep successfully or something, and then you could tell about the MB. Oh, but are you even in the Dallas area though!?
Have you tried to get the blanket sold at Babies 'R Us? It would sell like hotcakes there!

This blanket has the perfect name! It is a miracle! I heard about your blanket when my daughter was 3 weeks old. I so desperately did not want to go through all the sleepness nights like I did with my son. Although I tried to swaddle him, I experienced much frustration with not being able to swaddle properly so he always kicked his way out of it within minutes. The Miracle Blanket has made this 2nd time Mom a very happy, well rested parent! My husband is in awe. It's like we don't even have a baby in the house because we get a full night sleep every night which was unheard of with my son. I plan on telling every Mom of your product and this will be my future baby shower gift for everyone. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

I can't say enough good things about your product. I had already survived 4 months plus of a fussy daughter 2 years ago. So when my son was born this June I totally felt prepared for anything. Well let's just say he put his big sister to shame in the crying dept. Your blanket has made such a difference! He was sleeping MAX 1.5hrs to 2 hrs at a time and even that was a STRUGGLE. I am not kidding when I say within MINUTES of putting him in your blanket he was out - on his own! He is almost 11 pounds and 23 inches long. I have no problem wrapping him in the blanket.
Thank you so much for such a great product! I have purchased two and would recommend it to any and everyone with a baby.

I just received the Miracle Blanket yesterday and used it last night. The only reason I am even able to write to you is because my daughter is still asleep this morning. I read the book "Happiest Baby on The Block" by Dr. Karp and was having great success in getting my 6 week old baby to sleep finally. The only problem was I needed the help of my husband to get her swaddled snug enough. I read about the Miracle Blanket and thought it sounded great. Last night we swaddled her together and then after her 530am diaper change and feeding I was able to swaddle her myself without any problems. She is asleep now at 9:00am. Thank you so much for making my life so much easier, I will be telling all my friends who have young babies about this wonderful product, and I will give it as a gift at any baby shower!
Thank you again!

Just wanted to let you know that we really like our new miracle blanket. Our daughter had starting to outgrow the receiving blanket and we needed something that she wouldn't kick out of. The Miracle Blanket is soft, washes well and our daughter loves it. She has not pulled out of it yet and sleeps very soundly. I would certainly recommend it to a friend.
Thanks for making a quality product.

Dear Mike at Miracle Blanket,
I have to take the time to tell you that yes - the Miracle Blanket truly is a miracle!! You have saved our lives. I know that sounds dramatic, but to sleep deprived parents, it is truly incredible. Our baby boy, Joaquin, is a good baby, but nights were difficult to say the least. He simply could not sleep on his back in his crib, or at least not for very long. His arms and legs would flail about and he would startle himself out of sleep. That is, if we could even get him to sleep, because he would be kicking and moving his arms so much he couldn't settle down. He became so overtired and would cry inconsolably. It would take us hours of rocking him to make him doze off and then he would end up having to sleep sitting up in his car seat because he was more snug there than in his crib.
Then, in the course of emailing back and forth to my cousin, who also has a newborn, he asked me if I tried swaddling my son. I laughed to myself and wrote to him how impossible it was because he kicked out of his blanket in 2 minutes. Also, he had already outgrown the receiving blankets that the hospital staff had shown us to use to swaddle him. So he told me about the Miracle Blanket. I had tried so many other ways to put him to sleep I wasn't sure this method was going to be any better, but I had nothing to lose (except another sleepless night!). I called up and asked for overnight shipping (I was desperate to get that blanket).
My husband was skeptical that this "special" blanket was going to work, but lo and behold - it was the first night that our son slept through the night! In fact we woke up in the middle of the night a bit panicked because we hadn't heard a peep out of him. When we ran into his nursery to check on him, there he lay, on his back, snuggled in the blanket, looking as content as could be. It has now been a blissful week since we first received the blanket and our baby boy actually smiles as I'm wrapping him up in it for the night. At first my husband thought he looked like a mummy from the shoulders down, but our son loves the secure feeling of being all tucked in, his arms aren't flailing, and he's a happier baby because he gets his proper rest.
I have already told several of my friends, who have all become parents around the same time, and one due in August, about the miracle blanket. I've even done a demonstration and they were amazed at how he settled down right away.
All I can say is: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!
I will keep spreading the word!
Yours truly (and gratefully),

This blanket truly is a miracle! I'm still using mine and my baby is 3-1/5 months old. At bed time, he normally fusses terribly, so I wrap him up in the blanket and [give him his] pacifier and he is just as content as can be, and then falls asleep without a peep.
I have recommended the blanket to all my pregnant and new mommy friends, and even took it with me to my New Mom's Group to pitch it there! Thanks for giving me the tool to allow me to get some sleep :)

Just a note to let you know that Stella and I are still successfully using your Miracle Blanket. Hopefully soon we won't need it - no offense - and she'll sleep more soundly on her own, but for now it is great. She is getting much more coordinated with her arms and legs and there is no way I could swaddle her in a regular blanket now!
Also, I wanted to let you know that perhaps another selling point that you could utilize is the convenience of travelling with this blanket. Not only is it comforting to the baby to have the same blanket during travel, but it is easy for mom to use on the airplane. I had Stella in an infant carrier (Baby Bjorn) while I boarded the plane and had to get her swaddled and nursing while sitting in my airplane seat... man, those seats just get smaller and smaller.
Anyway, I was able to get her swaddled by placing the miracle blanket on my lap with the foot pouch just past my knees and her head in my lap. People were a bit taken aback by the "straight jacket" look, but once she calmed down and started nursing and then SLEPT for the entire time, they didn't care what it looked like - it worked! No way I'd get her swaddled in a regular blanket in an airplane seat. I think the whole flight thanks you.
Thanks again,

Hi Mike,
We just received our Miracle Blanket in the mail yesterday and it has already improved our baby's sleep. I appreciate the extra hours it has already afforded me! Emma (our six week old baby) napped for an extra hour during the day and slept over five hours in a row during the night (she usually only gave me three or four hours in a row at night). I am definitely going to recommend the Miracle Blanket to friends who are pregnant.
Thank you for inventing and marketing such a wonderful product.

I just want to say "thank you", for 2 reasons. One, your blanket is a miracle. Two, thanks for introducing me to the magic of Dr.Karp. I have read his book and am amazed that his techniques have really worked for my baby. But, it would have been impossible without your blanket or info on your website. I am ordering another blanket because last night my first AMB (Amazing Miracle Blanket) was in the laundry. We were up almost every hour whereas my son had been sleeping 3-4 hours wrapped in an AMB. I tried to swaddle him in other blankets, but he was to strong and I was too tired. I am also impressed that with the AMB, I don't have to worry about loose blankets. I have a friend that is due next month and I will be telling her about your blanket and Dr. Karp's book.
Thank-you,

I'll add my thanks to your ever-growing list. My son has been sleeping through the night since three weeks with your blanket. And for the fussy times in the middle of the day, I use the blanket when nothing else seems to work - and he's asleep within minutes! And it holds up so well after washing. I plan to make this my de facto gift for all my friends with new babies. Thanks for making a product that does what it says it will. BTW, you should advertise more so that every new mother can reap the benefits of this blanket -have you showed it to Oprah??!!

Well, the success continues. We are using the miracle blanket exclusively now, and she is starting to calm down even at the sight of it - just like you said. She slept 7 hours last night and for 6 the night before ... and is taking a nice, long nap now. AND - here's another selling point - we had a baby sitter last night so we could celebrate our anniversary and explaining to her how to swaddle with the Miracle Blanket was so easy -I can't imagine trying to teach a baby-sitter how to swaddle with a regular blanket! So, it was nice for the sitter to be able to get her swaddled and fed and then down for a nap - otherwise, she would've had a really fussy baby all night.
So, thank you for the great product.
Best of luck and I'll be spreading the word.

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what I think of your Amazing Miracle Blanket. This product is truly amazing! I just got a foster baby, who is a preemie born at 32 weeks and abandoned) and somewhat fussy....that is until I tried your blanket on her....now she seldom cries. I love the weight of this blanket and also how it doesn't shrink after being washed & dried. I LOVE THIS AMAZING MIRACLE BLANKET!

THANK YOU so much for creating and marketing this blanket. We ordered our blanket on 6-6 and received it on 6-9. I rushed to wash it and get it ready for our daughter. SHE SLEPT so peacefully last night. I am in LOVE with this blanket. It soothes her and calms her down. She is 3 weeks old and was 9 lbs when she was born (22 inches long) so most of our receiving blankets were too short for her and she kicked out of them. She loves to be swaddled and this blanket is great. I am going to order more blankets as back ups.
I am so satisfied with this product. It is truly a miracle blanket.
Thank you so much.

Hello Mike,
Well we have tried the Miracle Blanket for the past 3 nights and it really does work wonderfully! Upon trying it I found that my worries about having my son tightly wrapped for too long are not really an issue with this blanket because the design allows for a looser wrap than a traditional blanket, is still very effective, and still he "stays put" in it! He actually smiled last night when my husband went to swaddle him for bed time and as soon as he is wrapped and comfy he settles right down :) He sleeps very soundly in the blanket and does not wake himself by startling when using the blanket as he does without it. Congratulations on your wonderful product, a much needed item for the sleep deprived :)

I am so glad that I emailed you the links to our [message board at ovusoft.com]. As you can see, everyone is ecstatic about your invention. We are using it with gracie but she is 3 and a half mos so soon she wont need it. I am thrilled that we will have it for our next baby the day we bring him/her home from the hospital. I am very impressed with your charitable contributions re: the blanket. What a wonderful way to give back and help children with disablities. I plan on posting your message to the girls who got the blanket so they, too, can see how important it is for us to keep spreading the word about the miracle blanket. My husband and I both know how difficult it is to get a small business going and we will keep spreading the word to help as much as possible. Thanks again for your incredible invention. We are very grateful. Good luck with your product--we know it's just a matter of time before all parents know about it and can't live without a miracle blanket, too!!

Good morning Mike,
I had forwarded the Miracle Blanket to Hilary and Ian in the UK immediately upon receipt.... but did not managed to speak to them... but, guess what, they called last night... When they received the blanket, they were extremely doubtful (particularly as they had tried swaddling - without results - as advised by the hospital). After some five rather difficult and sleepless nights, they decided to give it a go. They are absolutely delighted. Lily is sleeping like an angel and they (almost) have to wake her up for her feedings. They concluded by "if Miracle Blanket ever needs an agent in the UK, we shall do it!" So, please accept the grateful thanks of the new parents and the "old aunty" (me).
I do hope that you and your wife will be able to come to Switzerland in the near future. It is a beautiful country. From my office, I have the most perfect view of the Mont Blanc but must admit that, after so many years, I am not really paying much attention to the view.
Thank you for your help.

Hello Mike,
I am so very happy to say that I have a sleeping baby right now! The blanket is wonderful! He is all snuggled up and sleeping peacefully. He hardly cried while I wrapped him, and then he fell right to sleep. It is so easy to use. My husband and I
actually tried masking tape a couple times because any type of blanket we used would unwrap. Not this one! Plus, it is so lightweight I don't have to worry about overheating. I also love that I can leave his feet out. This works great with his swing- we were always struggling with thick blankets and not able to get him safely in his swing because both his legs had to go to one side and we couldn't use the seat belt. Your blanket is fabulous for the swing.
I have to tell you how nice it is to find other people who understand how impossible it can be to get these babies to sleep. And how much frustration my husband and I dealt with trying to keep him wrapped tight enough, cool enough, safe, etc. I truly believe that if more people knew about your product, it would be sold everywhere!Thank you again for your wonderful product and truly understanding words. Please feel free to use any of this email as a testimonial. I will keep in touch as we continue to use it. So far, it is an instant success. Thank you, thank you!

LOVE the blanket! Can't wait to get the other one.
I've found a great "new" mom present. My first child (who is now three) started screaming on day ten and didn't stop until he was about four months. This baby has been so much better. Swaddling and Dr. Karp's book have been wonderful!

After marvelling at how deftly the nurses swaddled our little girl in the hospital, my wife and I tried to duplicate their efforts. We got a lesson from one nurse and read swaddling instructions in several books in our attempts to wrap our baby to keep her warm, snug, and secure. From the start, our child slept MUCH better swaddled, sleeping through the night very early. Unswaddled, she constantly woke herself up with the jerky and flailing arms and legs many babies seem to have. While she was very small, it wasn't hard to keep the swaddling blanket in place. But, as she grew bigger and stronger, the little Houdini quickly learned how to escape the wrap. We tried various arrangements and methods, but she got out of each one. Plus, she seemed to get awfully hot while swaddled because we had to use two blankets to keep her wrapped up.
One day, after hearing about a recent study concerning the benefits of swaddling, I searched online for more information and happened upon the Miracle Blanket website. The design seemed to make so much sense and appeared easy to use, so I ordered a Miracle Blanket for my daughter. By this time, she was several months old and we had all but given up swaddling because she either escaped the wrap or became overheated,so our child was no longer able to sleep through the night. The Miracle Blanket solved our problem. Most helpful was the foot pocket, because it allowed the baby some freedom to move her legs without becoming unwrapped. The internal "wings" kept her arms at her sides so she was able to calm herself when first put down to sleep and avoid waking herself up by fidgeting during sleep. We brought the Miracle Blanket to our daycare provider, who also was having trouble swaddling our child, and she agreed it was a fine solution to the problem. My mother saw it and immediately asked how she could order several Miracle Blankets for baby shower gifts. I know any parent would be delighted to receive such a helpful gift. Thank you for making it available!

Hi Mike,
I wanted to let you know that I received the blankets yesterday. We just put our one month old son down for the second night wrapped in it. He seems to love it so far. He slept 6 hours straight last night, followed by 4 hours straight after a quick feeding. You can't complain about that at 1 month! It was so nice to get him and see that he was still swaddled after 6 hours. My husband ...[is] getting the hang of it now. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

I do love the blanket for the fact that I have trouble swaddling with regular blankets. This makes it very easy. As I aid before it does calm my little guy down, and I have followed the instructions on getting him into a deep sleep, I have even followed the techniques given by Dr. Karp's 'Happiest Baby On The Block' book.
I have tried the swing, the bouncy seat and the car seat - he wakes up and screams not anymore!

So far I love the blanket. I have twins. One is fussy, the other is fine.
It is hard to find blankets big enough to even swaddle her properly, then it is even harder to get it all back on in the middle of the night. It keeps her stiller than anything else. I am definitely happy I purchased this and will recommend it to my friends. I even brought it up in the baby support group today.

I had read Dr. Karp's book, The Happiest Baby on the Block, and I had also seen Dr. Karp demonstrate his swaddling method on a TV program, along with his other recommended calming methods. Also, in the hospital, a nurse demonstrated swaddling with receiving blankets to my daughter and her husband. But it was a very ineffective swaddle for any infant who squirms much, and our little Annika did squirm and fuss a lot.
None of the many blankets my daughter received as gifts were very effective blankets either, and none of them were large enough to do the swaddling as Dr. Karp recommended. So, I bought flannel material to have two larger blankets sewn for us. This time, the size was great, but Annika could still squirm out of them, and they became "scrunched up", especially when transferring Annika from one person to another. I searched for better blankets in the stores that would be of thinner, stretchier material. I finally located some that were the best option at that point. However, Annika's father was very frustrated trying to swaddle and quit trying even though I kept telling him it would help to calm Annika down when he was "on duty".
Finally, I searched the Internet for swaddling blankets. I wasted a lot of time until I finally discovered your site. I could tell immediately, upon seeing the simple drawings and instructions for your Miracle Blanket, that your blanket would finally do the trick.
By this time, my two daughters and their husbands were really tired of hearing about the wonders of swaddling. When I told them I had just ordered a blanket called the "Miracle Blanket", they all rolled their eyes. Soon, however, those eyes stopped rolling and started sleeping because the Miracle Blanket helped her to sleep more than short catnaps throughout the day. She would wake up with a smile after having good two-hour naps, instead of always waking up with a frown and crying after only very fitful, short naps. Finally, we could take some photographs of a smiling baby.
Because Annika still loves to be swaddled, but appears to have outgrown the blanket, we would love to have a little larger version of your Miracle Blanket.
By the way Annika's father couldn't believe how simple and effective the Miracle Blanket is, and he's telling other people about the wonders of swaddling, after discovering that swaddling was not difficult at all with the Miracle Blanket.
