Miracle vs merino wrap

When lil miss was tiny I her merino wraps, she was a winter baby and they were nice and snuggly without overheating her. I also had a couple of the Merino Kids Cocoois which are a similar shape to the Miracle Blanket but made of merino and they were brilliant.

After about 8 weeks tho, she was too wriggly for the merino wraps and kept getting out of them, so I bought some Miracle Blankets and they were brilliant. They say you can only use them up to 14 weeks but I used them successfully until I weaned her off swaddling at about 6 mths.

I hope this helps!

I would go for large merino wraps, that way you can use them as cot blankets once bubs isn't wrapped so better value for money. Best ones I've found are Strawberry Jam ones on Trade Me as they are 1m x 1.2m and come in different weights, I think the trader's name is Scoutie.

Just bought Tayla one, hope it works or DP will complain about the money LOL

edit: meant to say bought a miracle wrap as we have a merino which is great but she wriggles hard out to get her arms out

you can get them from the sleepstore online...........or TM i just got a near new one for $20 but they are popular and sell fast..........someone told me that the sleepstore has certain ones on special at the moment

I've just put C back in his Miracle wrap because he gets out of his other swaddles every fr.cken time and wakes himself up. Back to nice long sleeps with the Miracle blanket Good to see you used yours till around 6 months Emma, I do sometimes worry that C will need to be swaddled forever!
