Prince Lionheart’s story began humbly in 1973, when they crafted handmade rocking horses in their garage. Over the years, they have grown along with the children who used those rocking horses. Now adults, they are having kids of their own and they are happy to share the joy of parenthood with them and millions of other families worldwide.

Their products are designed in part by their customers. They listen to your concerns and then they implement your ideas. That is their commitment to you.

Dr. William Sears, MD, the renowned paediatrician and author says “studies show that SIDS is least likely to occur when babies sleep on their backs and most likely when sleeping on their tummies. Experts suggest the risk of SIDS for side sleeping may be two times that of back sleeping.”

Bibs and Stuff Baby Accessories

The unique Bibs and Stuff Miracle Blanket is probably the best selling Swaddling Blanket in America and it is recommended by medical professionals throughout the world.

The Miracle Blanket In Natural Colour From Bibs and Stuff

Most new parents are taught at hospital how to swaddle but quickly give it up due to its complex nature. The Miracle Blanket has been designed to make swaddling easy and it has so many benefits that are recognised by parents and midwives alike.

In The press - Pregnancy & Baby, December 2008

The Miracle Blanket helps ease the transition from the womb to the world by recreating the sensations babies feel in the womb. This comforts them and therefore helps baby and parents enjoy a more restful night’s sleep.

Why Use The Miracle Blanket?

Unlike some swaddling blankets, it has no press studs or Velcro that could potentially come loose and scratch baby’s delicate skin during the night.

In Te Press - OK, April 2008

Research shows that the Miracle Blanket helps to relieve colic by providing a gentle even pressure around the abdomen.

Swaddling makes breast-feeding so much easier by keeping baby’s arms and legs secured and comfy. They are easier to position and it calms fractious babies.

The Moro Reflex is the tendency of infants to “jump” or startle themselves awake for no apparent reason. Most babies do this to some extent; by swaddling, this reflex can be virtually eliminated.

Infants have a natural instinct when born to try to find a nipple, this is called “the rooting response” . If bedding touches their faces during the night they awaken and become frustrated when they cannot find the potential food source. Swaddling your baby correctly greatly reduces the rooting response.

The Miracle Blanket – Frequently Asked Questions

What is colic?

Some of the most popular theories are:

1) Gas pains.

2) Digestion difficulty due to undeveloped digestive system.

3) The shock of being suddenly ‘out of the womb’ (over stimulation).

Can my baby overheat because of swaddling?

Although it is possible for your babies to overheat, it has been shown that swaddling alone does not cause this. Here are a few simple measures that will eliminate this concern altogether:

1) Wrap him/her in the Miracle Blanket and nappy only.

2) To be sure the room in which the baby is sleeping is not too warm (the room should feel comfortable to a lightly dressed adult).

3) If overheating is still a concern, you can wrap your baby in the Miracle Blanket with his/her feet outside of the foot pocket. If your baby’s tummy feels overly warm to the touch, or he/she is perspiring, it is important to observe the measures mentioned above.

When should I stop swaddling?

There are many differing opinions on this. Bibs and Stuff  thinks 3 to 4 months is a good time to stop. As a rule of thumb, baby will let you know that he/she has had enough of swaddling after a few months…this is time to stop. If your baby loves being swaddled after 4 months, studies show that’s fine. Some cultures swaddle beyond 12 months. However, the chance of problems with ‘loose bedding accidents’ does increase when baby is old enough to struggle free of the Miracle Blanket and turn over on their own.

A Few Testimonials.

“Excellent product. We couldn’t have gotten through those first 6 weeks without the Miracle Blanket.”

“This is my second order. The first was for me now I’m ordering so that I’ll always have a Miracle Blanket to give as a shower gift. This product literally saved my life. I have twins who would not sleep longer than 45 minutes – now they sleep 12 hours at night and take 3 naps a day.”

“Just had to buy a pair for my friend who is expecting twins in May: Two Miracle Blankets for her shower gift. I still broadcast to all new moms and expectant moms about the only true ‘must have’ Miracle Blanket. ”

The Miracle Blanket In White From Bibs and Stuff

“I actually used the Miracle Blanket with my second daughter, and she and I just loved it. I just purchased one, not for myself, but for my brother and sister-in-law, who just had their second son. They are anxious to try it for themselves. I have recommended this blanket to so many people, and they all thank me over and over for the tip. Many have gone on to purchase them as gifts for other new moms, too. It’s a truly wonderful product! ”
