So far, it is a Miracle!
Let me start off by saying that I am terrific at swaddling. I've worked with many babies over the years, and this is the first time that I've had to resort to using anything other than a regular blanket to swaddle. My first son, I used muslin swaddle blankets with no issues: he stayed wrapped until I unwrapped him. Now, with my second, he is a little Houdini! No matter what I used, his little arms escaped. This was recommended to me by a fellow mom, and it is the real deal! The material is super soft and has just enough stretch that you can make it nice and snug. Best of all...little arms stay put right where they are supposed to!
*Update*
I had to change my review from 5 stars to 4. Because I liked the first blanket so much, I ordered a second to have a backup. The original review was on the grey blanket with yellow trim (pictured). The second blanket I ordered was the chocolate with mint polka dots. Unfortunately, with the different design, the feel and texture of the fabric is COMPLETELY different. It is rough and has no elasticity/ stretch. The blanket still keeps the arms in, but because it can't be stretched around my son's body as well, when he wiggles, it becomes very loose. I will be returning the chocolate colored blanket and getting a second grey with yellow trim. I would prefer to have two different designs, but I can't risk purchasing another and ending up with the junk fabric. My review of the grey blanket remains 5 stars, but in my opinion, not having consistent elasticity in all the Miracle Blanket fabrics is a major design flaw. If I was individually reviewing the chocolate colored blanket, I would give it two stars.
