Stage 1: Swaddling

Bought this as part of our preparation for our new born baby. Saw the great reviews and needed swaddle sleep suits for at night so thought we would give this a shot. This was by far one of the best things we have bought, and has definitely helped us get some sleep in a very sleep deprived time! Our baby would not settle and was wriggling all the time in her sleep, eventually disturbing/unsettling herself. This sleep suit helps to contain her arms and legs in a consistent position whilst keeping them in a safe position so she doesn’t roll. An added bonus is the double zip, which allows you to free the baby’s legs for easy nappy changing in the middle of the night! (See photo) The sleep suit itself is very well made, and is zipped which is a huge bonus! I would say it’s definitely value for money! We have also washed it a few times and it seems to wash really well, so performance over time shouldn’t be an issue. We love this product so much that we have already ordered the next size up to make sure we have one as our baby continues to grow. Would definitely recommend!

We have been using this for our baby since she was 3 weeks old, she is now 11 weeks. We tried the other swaddles that replicated how the midwives swaddled them at the hospital but she always managed to wiggle her arms out. This has been a dream swaddle. It stops her startle reflexes from waking her up and we truly believe this is what has contributed to her sleeping 5 - 7 hours through the night since she was 6 weeks old. I have just ordered the transitional swaddle as she needs to size up now due to her weight. Her dad swears by this product and it is loved by both of us for letting us get such good nights sleep. I also find for her daytime naps if I don't use it, she falls asleep in this position with her arms up for the longest amount of time compared to any other position so I know it is the most comfortable position for her, not forced, and I also really like that her legs aren't restricted. It means she can still wriggle them around about 5am to get that well needed bowel gas out! I would say to any parents, skip the other swaddles that look like cocoons and use this - your nights sleeps will thank you for it! From a couple of well rested first time parents!

Absolutely love these swaddle bags, my newborn would often wake up but once I started using the swaddle bag she was sleeping though the night! They are so soft and look so cute when baby is in there! The stretchiness and size is great and there is a lot of room for baby to still be able to move but stay nice and snug, definitely recommended these they are amazing.

Why did you choose this product over others?: I purchased this swaddle to help my babies sleep and wow the difference is amazing! My baby has slept through the night on many occasions now, even whilst breastfed, which is such a difference to my first baby who was never swaddled. I liked that this swaddle was in the arms up position compared to other brands. The fit of the swaddle is perfect and I have already purchased the next size up. The material is so lightweight and comfortable. Nappy changes are so much easier with the 2 way zip function and minimises any disruptions. I use this with a white noise machine and I am so glad I purchased it after a couple of doubts. Highly recommend!

The quality of the material is great as it’s very soft and light weight. Great for very small newborns till 3 months. Easy to use and has a variety of designs to choose from. Have been using it ever since since the birth of my baby and have added it to her night time routine. Great to use to help create a good routine.

Best investment ever!!! For a baby who didn’t adapt to the traditional swaddle because they want to keep their little arms up, this is perfect. He can keep his arms raised comfortably, sleeps for many hours in the cot, feels secure and doesn’t wake up. Highly recommend!

I thought this product was too good to be true but it really is amazing. I wish I had discovered it earlier. My baby loves to be swaddled but at 13 weeks we were getting to the point where he wasn’t ready for a sleeping bag but was too restricted by a tight swaddle that binds his arms to his body. I had initial worries about this product because the positioning of the hands looked awkward especially as my baby was so used to having his arms swaddled downwards. Our routine was to get the baby off to sleep in our arms and transfer him to his cot when he was asleep otherwise he would wake up and we’d have to start again. He would certainly never take himself off to sleep on his own. From its first use the swaddle up blanket has enabled our baby to get himself to sleep which we could not and still can’t believe! I zip him in when he starts to show signs of tiredness and lay him in his cot. Within minutes he has self soothed his way to sleep because the little hand tabs allow him to suckle on them and stroke his face. I still can’t believe that it works but it really does. He will often jerk around due to those baby reflexes but the design of the swaddle up prevents him from waking. I no longer live in fear of his movements during sleep or of him wriggling his way out of his blanket! My only negative regarding this product is the price of the swaddle up because it’s not cheap especially if you want a second one for when one goes in the wash. However it is a well made product and the cost can be worth it when you’re getting a good nights sleep and/or don’t have to spend so much time coaxing your baby to go off! In all this is a brilliant product and delivers on its promises. I wonder what better sleep we would have had if we had used it before now! I’m writing this review as I have just put my son down for his sleep. Once again I was marvelling at how easy this is to do now so thought it would be worth sharing my experiences.

We ordered this as our bab was struggling with traditional swaddles It is a good product and the quality is excellent, easy to use as well, I just can’t relate 5 stars as our bab didn’t get along with it at all
