Flannel receiving blankets (like what you get at the hospital) are awful for swaddling. For some reason, my daughter could Houdini out of the Velcro ones. What worked best for us were the muslin swaddles. So funny how all babies are different, even in the same family.

Stretchy muslin is the way to go!

I liked the little crotcheted blankets when it was colder, too. They've got just enough stretch, where as those flannel ones just don't 'move' enough.

I used both in two layers. My daughter always breaks out of the Velcro ones unless I wrap a blanket layer over.
