I received one Summer Infant SwaddleMe at a baby shower for my daughter (first born)...within days of being home from the hospital we knew those things were going to be heaven sent! I sent my husband out to buy half a dozen more...because we couldn't be without a SwaddleMe for night time or nap time!
Newborns want / need to be swaddled tight (forget the blanket) and these things are amazing! My daughter was like Houdini with the blanket...somehow a hand would always escape but now with the SwaddleMe (there are other brands but these are what worked for us)! She was a snug little burrito...sometimes she'd even nurse swaddled and stay asleep the whole time! It. Was. Amazing.
