Our son loved to be swaddled... at least he did after we got him that way:-) When we first brought him home from the hospital any large blanket would work but as he got bigger and stronger we needed something better. That blanket arrived on our doorstep thanks to some friends of ours who give the Gr8x Swaddle Wrap to every new parent they know. The gr8x swaddle is light weight, compact and stretchy. The stretchiness of the fabric allowed us to tightly swaddle Jack easily so that he couldn't wiggle loose and wake himself up! I also loved that I could throw this in the diaper bag without it filling the whole thing up and that it was still cool enough for summer use.
This wrap costs about 15$. If you're planning on swaddling I'd recommend getting two so that you can cycle one through the wash and still have one on hand for those babies who must be swaddled to go to sleep like mine:-)
My only slight complaint is that you're not supposed to put the blanket in the dryer and as any parent of a tiny baby knows forgetting to pull it out and let it hang dry is bound to happen. However, despight the warning and several rounds in the dryer the blanket survived just fine and will be one of the first things I pull out if we have another baby.
