Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Blanket Review

December 18th, 2008

If you’re a looking for a great Swaddle Blanket for a price that won’t break the bank, Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe blanket may be exactly what you are looking for.  Kiddopotamus has developed some solid design techniques that they claim will enhance your child’s safety, comfort, and developmental needs.  Of course, we all know that the real test for a swaddle blanket is whether or not it works.  Because if it does, it could mean a great night’s sleep for you and your baby, and how much is that worth to you?!?  

The SwaddleMe blanket is probably Kiddopotamus most popular and well known blanket.  The company has put the blanket through numerous safety standards, and they are constantly on the lookout for the latest in design techniques.  The SwaddleMe comes in a variety of fabrics, designs and sizes:

  • 100% Cotton Knit Solids
  • 100% Cotton Knit Prints
  • 100% Cotton Flanel
  • Microfleece Solids
  • Microfleece Prints
  • Bamboo
Swaddling Can Reduce the Risk of SIDS and help babies sleep through the night. New research shows that swaddling can help reduce the risk of SIDS by promoting better sleep when infants are on their backs.
My favorite thing about Kiddopotamus is that they have a heart.  They are an active fighter in the battle against SIDS, and each year, they donate a minimum of $100,000 to First Candle.  The First Candle Leadership Council was formed to elevate issues of infant mortality, including SIDS and stillbirth, to more appropriate levels of public concern, and to advise First Candle’s Board of Directors in securing resources for its mission.  Any company that cares this much about babies is a company that I can get behind.  That’s why we recommend you give this blanket a try.   You can generally get the SwaddleMe blanket anywhere from $9-12.
