Okay, I think I’ve earned a PhD in Baby Swaddles by now. I’ve tried it all—SwaddleMe, Halo Sleepsack, Magic Sleepsuit… you name it, it’s probably in my closet. So grab a coffee, because this is a journey.Baby #1 hated the Swaddle UP. Tried it for a few nights—no sleep, just rage (from both of us). She loved SwaddleMe instead. Great! Cheaper! But… the Velcro was SO loud, and every time I changed a diaper at 2 a.m., it was like pulling duct tape in a library. And getting her arms back in? Like wrestling a mini ninja.Fast forward 2 years, enter Baby #2. I dusted off the swaddle stash. He liked SwaddleMe at first, but old Velcro + squirmy baby = arms popping out in 1 hour. Bought a new one—same issue. Then tried Halo again: decent, but still that Velcro rip makes me wince.Last resort: Swaddle UP. I had zero expectations after the first baby hated it. But guess what? This baby LOVED it. Slept like a dream. I even had to wake him up to feed. And I could actually sleep too without anxiety-checking if his arms escaped.Here’s my advice: don’t do what I did and buy every swaddle on the internet. Just watch how your baby sleeps in the hospital:• If they love arms down, go SwaddleMe.• If they like hands near the face, Swaddle UP is your winner.Good luck, and may your coffee be strong and your baby’s sleep longer than 20 minutes!

This sleep sack has been a wonderful addition to our bedtime routine. It’s not a traditional swaddle which we actually love because it allows our baby more natural movement while still providing just enough snugness for comfort. It’s not overly tight, which is important since babies need their startle reflex for safety, especially in preventing SIDS.One of our favorite features is the arms-up design. Our baby hates having his arms pinned down, so this gives him the freedom to self-soothe while still feeling secure. The two-way zipper is also a huge plus. it makes those overnight diaper changes so much easier and quicker, without having to fully undress him or wake him up too much.The fabric is soft, breathable, and high quality. We’ve noticed better sleep stretches since using it, and we feel confident knowing it supports both safety and comfort. If you have a baby who isn’t a fan of tight swaddles or likes to sleep with their arms up, this is definitely worth trying!My son is 8 weeks old 12-13ish pounds and he fits perfectly in the medium.

We absolutely love this swaddle!Our baby has been using it since he was around 6-7 weeks old, and it has been a game changer for sleep. He never liked traditional swaddles and was always an arms-up sleeper, so this design worked perfectly for him. It gave him the comfort he needed without restricting him too much. Not to mention that he cant go to sleep unless in it, even during the day. But now that he has started rolling, we’re planning to transition to the next stage with their sleep sack that allows arms out. Highly recommend to any parents with babies who prefer sleeping with their arms up!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:i had never tried any type of sleep sack, so i took a chance on this one. i was not disappointed. my sweet babe would only sleep on my chest and while it was adorable, i was not getting any good sleep. the first night we put her in this, she slept on her own in her bassinet for 4 hours, woke up to eat, and then slept another few hours. total game changer for us. i’m definitely going to buy more colors and size up when needed.

Love this! My baby HATED the normal swaddles with his arms by his sides. He fought and fought and would break his arms out until they were by his face. This was so nice to have a zipper that stayed put, unlike the Velcro that he could break out of, and the design allows him to keep his arms by his face but still suppressed his startle reflex. This allowed him to sleep for three hour blocks at night as opposed to waking hourly without it. Super grateful for the extra sleep!

This is a nice product. Here are a few things to note:-It's difficult to feed baby while it's on(not in reference to bottle feeding. It would probably be fine if you're feeding this way.) BUT it is difficult to use when soothing baby because of the arm position.-It does not prevent startling. You're baby may still startle.-It's thin. I find that there's a lot of disparity when it comes to TOG ratings. The one I got is rated 1. It's akin to T-shirt thickness.-Great for babies that like their arms up. I did not notice that it helped with sleep any more than the Swaddles that I had.-If you've never tried one, get one and see if it works for your baby. It's nice to have different types right off the bat to help discover which works best for your baby.Color and description were true to form. Easy to wash and the size was as described.

Can’t say enough about these. Our baby is a self soothing baby, her hands are alwayssss touching her face. Even in our ultra sound photos she had her hands covering her mouth. We tried 3-4 other swaddles, even the halo swaddle. We would try swaddling her with her hands sticking out and she constantly would fight it and end up figuring out how to break out of the swaddle. This swaddle has been a game changer for us. We’re currently in our third one size wise! She is still confined so she can’t get startled yet is she able to have her hands on her face. I also love that it is light weight. I was always scared with the halo that she would get too hot. Definitely recommend.

My baby absolutely loves these swaddles. When she was in my stomach, her hands were always up near her face. When she came out and we would swaddle her with a blanket, she always managed to get her cute little hands out near her neck. As adorable as that was, we needed to find a solution and this product is perfect. We’ve used all sizes and have been happy all around.
