almost perfect until my son s chin was rubbed raw by itUpdate: The velcro straps lost its power to stick together. so my baby breaks out of the swaddle after a few minutes of putting him in it... So after 1 month of using it and a couple of washes in the machine.:: it s done... :( would no longer recommend it...I fell in love with it instantly. This is the first swaddle that I have tried that my baby couldn t break out of. I thought that this was the perfect swaddle until my baby rubbed his chin raw from fighting it :(. He always fights the swaddles, which he does with all the other swaddle brands I ve tried, but this was the first time that a swaddle rubbed his chin raw :( I realized the cloth is actually not soft and kinda rough :( I still like the fact that my baby can t break out of it and would still like to use it, so I am planning to sew some soft velvety cloth around the edges... I hope they consider changing the cloth that they use for it :(1Loved it at first, but...At first I loved this swaddle. My daughter broke out of the SwaddleMe swaddles which are also Velcro, so I decided to try this one, mostly to give her legs more freedom to move her legs because she's so gassy. This swaddle seemed foolproof at first. Then I washed it and it was never the same. I don't know if my baby suddenly got much stronger or if the shape of the swaddle changed after washing, but the little pillows that are supposed to keep the arms from breaking free don't stop her anymore. Somehow she manages to pull her arms out and the Velcro is really loud to redo it In the middle of the night without waking her up more. She also seems really bothered by it and bent on getting out so maybe it's time to stop swaddling but she's only going to be 4 months and still has a strong startle reflex. I'm sure this swaddle works great for a lot of babies but unfortunately not for us.3The BEST swaddle out there!This is my second review for this product but this one is for the Large size. My baby finally outgrew the Small & I debated for weeks to get the larger size. I was trying to transition him out of the swaddle but my sleeping through the night baby started waking up every 4 hours if he wasn't in this swaddle (he's pretty lazy & isn't rolling over yet either). He is a big boy weighing 20 pounds at 5 months & the large fit him with a bunch of room to grow. I nurse him, put this swaddle on, lay him down & he falls asleep on his own. The Velcro is well made which is what keeps them inside all night even if they try fighting it. So with that in mind I wouldn't take the swaddle off until they awake for the day otherwise it will startle them. I LOVE how this doesn't ride up to their face based on the design. It's genius! It's made with two Velcro's so the first one you Velcro around the upper waist under the arms. Then the second Velcro goes on top of the arms at their side. There's even little pillows between the arms & the sides of their body. My son loves this & is back to sleeping 9 hours at night. I've found this is the only swaddle that helps his reflex because his hands seem to have a mind of their own. Also we live in Hawaii so it's nice that he can use this with just a onesie on cooler nights but most nights I have to run the AC in his room so he uses it with long PJ's. Don't hesitate to purchase this as you could use this as your only swaddle. Why mess around with trying to get the blankets tight? One last thing I feel I have to mention is that they shipped this the same day I ordered it. I got it within 3 days to Hawaii. Wow!5So convenient and easy to useMy 4 month old's startle reflex is still in high gear. We started out with Halo, then SwaddleMe, then Swaddle Up...none of those worked very long. For a while, the Miracle Blanket really saved us, but he grew too tall for it, and was constantly waking up by kicking his feet out of the bottom pocket. I tried switching him to Merlin's Magic Sleep Suit, but even the smallest size was way too big for him at 11 lbs, and did nothing for his startle reflex.Then I found this. I love that I can put him in regular pajamas and still use this. Sure, the Velcro is loud, but it has to fasten somehow. What I have done is to lay it flat on his mattress, rock him until drowsy, then I lie him down on top of the strap and close it up. Then I keep my hand on top of him until he settles back to sleep.He does still wake once per night to eat. Instead of trying to breastfeed him in the strap, I take him out of it, feed on one side, change diaper, feed on the other side, and then put the strap back on the same way I did at the beginning of the night. This causes no issues with breastfeeding that others have mentioned.He's pretty small for his age, so I can see the "small" lasting us a good while.5Excellent product. Watch what seller you buy it from, though.Product is exceptional! This is the second one I purchased. Our little grandson is going through chemo treatment right now & had to be intubated. He also has a feeding tube. He is quite squirmy & is constantly trying to pull those tubes out, which can be dangerous. He cannot get out of this swaddle strap. A perfect solution, plus he loves being swaddled. I will recommend that you do not buy it from the seller, etailz. Ours arrived with no box. Just slapped a shipping label on the product. It arrived hanging out of the manufacturer package & dirty.5The BESTI wish I had ordered this sooner! I used it the first time with our 2 month old and he slept for almost 5 hours at night!! It has extended all of his other sleep times, too. It's very secure with the Velcro and little arm pillows make it super comfy for baby. Great for warmer weather because you won't need to worry if baby is too hot, since it's an arms only strap swaddle. Also, you can keep it on for a diaper change! Highly recommend!! 5So grateful this exists Our little guy sleeps excellently in Halo sleep sacks but not in normal clothes since he has a strong startle reflex and many arousals during sleep. We wanted something that would work over normal clothes so we didn t have to risk waking him up and putting him in a sleep sack or constantly changing him into a sleep sack around nap times. I considered trying to make a band wrap that would swaddle around clothes but I was worried about it sliding up around his face. Then I found this, there really wasn t much out there so I hoped this would work. It does for us. So at nighttime we pop our little guy into a Halo Sleep sack and during day time naps we wrap him in this. (Sometimes after he falls asleep, sometimes before). So far it s made a huge difference. We have the smallest version and in the video our son is 2 months old and roughly 13lbs.5Works great for my daughter who has to wear the Pavlik harnessWorks great for my daughter who has to wear the Pavlik harness for her hip dysplasia.5I m really happy that I stumbled upon this swaddle optionI m really happy that I stumbled upon this swaddle option. At 3.5 months my son - who hasn t rolled, but still startled himself awake - has benefited from continuing to be swaddled; however, at ~ 18lbs, he s pushing the weight limits on many swaddles, in addition to being strong enough to fight his way out of them. I had tried the large SwaddleMe swaddle only to have him drowning in material and pushing the flaps up around his neck. So, this has been a great solution! It goes on easily over his pajamas and night nursing and diaper changes are a breeze. I also never see him get frustrated wearing this because it swaddles snuggly without loose / flexible material to struggle against. This is definitely a great option for bigger babies who are still needing the comfort of a swaddle.5Highly recommend- worth every penny!This swaddle is definitely a keeper. For a few weeks after my son was born we used the swaddleme swaddles that the legs go into. It s a good idea in theory but changing him in the middle of the night was a nightmare. The swaddle had to completely be removed every time and he would fight getting it back on.We ordered this swaddle with hopes that his diaper could be changed without having to take it off.Things we love about this swaddle:1. It is very easy to put on- even if you do it upside down by accident it still works.2. It really does only take 10 seconds3. You can change a diaper without removing it. If you do remove it at 3 am to change am it is very easy to get back on.4. There is no worry about overheating5. It doesn t ride up to the face and I don t see how any baby could break out if it6. It washes wellI highly recommend buying 2 of these. One for backup for when fluids get on it.5
