As a parent-to-be you were probably told about the benefits of swaddling. It is a tried and true method, used across many cultures and generations to get babies to sleep. It's taught in all pre-natal classes and recommended by every leading baby sleep expert.
Effective swaddling helps stop the involuntary twitches and reflexes that startle your baby awake. Babies are used to sleeping while they are snuggly held in the womb. Later on, if they are left to sleep without being properly swaddled their arms and legs can jerk and twitch, disrupting their sleep. They may even scratch their face or cause their blanket to rub against their cheek making them think it's feeding time.
You probably sat through a demonstration at a pre-natal class where they made it look easy (especially if they were using a doll instead of a real live baby). Once your baby was born, you may have watched a nurse swaddle your baby and think "that looks easy enough". But swaddling a newborn baby with a normal blanket takes practice, and many parents don't receive the encouragement they need before giving up on swaddling.
That's where the Miracle Blanket comes to the rescue. Invented by a dad who was frustrated at not being able to swaddle his son effectively he wanted to find a sure-fire swaddling solution. After hours of research and many prototypes he finally perfected the Miracle Blanket.
