The Miracle Blanket is a unique option for swaddling. The blanket has panels and a cut designed for exclusively for wrapping up your baby.

We only offer the Organic Miracle Blanket at Milagros. The fabric is a super soft 100% organic cotton knit selected for several good reasons: It’s breathable so that it can be used in warm climates while still being luxurious enough to keep your baby warm in cooler places; It has just enough stretch to absorb your baby’s movements without coming undone but it’s not so stretchy that it won’t stay tight; And, most importantly, it stands up to constant use and washing. Like any baby fabric, you should wash it in the cold cycle and dry it on the delicate cycle.

Swaddling is one of the most effective ways to soothe and calm a baby. No doubt this why it has been practiced by parents for countless generations. It is important to note that support for swaddling’s benefits is more than anecdotal. The medical studies have shown that babies who are swaddled sleep more peacefully. Additionally, there is evidence that swaddling may help prevent SIDS.

We offer an array of swaddling blanket options at Milagros. Our product choices have been based on our own experience as parents as well as consulting with local midwives and doulas, including postpartum doulas like Kimberly Bepler. One of our most popular swaddling blankets is the aden + anais muslin swaddling blanket. And for good reason.

aden + anais’ use of lightweight muslin cotton in its swaddling wraps adds a little something extra to the swaddling experience. Muslin cotton has a light, open weave that allows air to flow seamlessly through the material. The soft natural fibers allow your baby’s body temperature to adjust naturally, eliminating over-heating, but ensuring warmth and comfort. This natural temperature control enhances the ability of the aden + anais wrap to help your baby experience a peaceful and secure sleep.
