"I purchased the miracle wrap because she seemed to be getting her arms out of all the others I don’t know whether it is pure coincidence but the first night that she was in the miracle wrap, she slept a total of 11 hours!!!! 7pm – 6 am. She repeated the same the next night, and has continued to have long sleeps. I’m shocked at how she went from 5.5 hrs and is now making it from 9 to 11 hrs before needing a feed – I can only guess that the miracle blanket has been the major change with her – THANK YOU!!!!!!! Ps – she also seems to be settling a LOT quicker for her sleeps during the day – another thing I think the wrap is helping with.:
