Love to Dream Swaddle UP Original, Blue, Medium, 13-18.5 lbs

At the time of writing this, I have a 4 week old and we’ve tried many types of swaddles since she’s been born. I noticed when I did not swaddle her to sleep for naps, she comfortably and naturally put her arms up next to her head and slept well, but she would startle constantly and would wake herself up after sometimes just 10 or 20 minutes. I’d seen these Love to Dream swaddles before, and decided to give it a try as it’s also just got a zipper and no complicated wrapping or noisy Velcro (I’m looking at you Halo!). The first time I put her in it for a nap she slept almost 5 hours! It’s helped her sleep for 3-4 hour stretches at night now and she seems instantly relaxed when I put her in it, and if she’s still fussy, it’s easy to soothe her in the swaddle in my arms. The cotton material is suuuuuper soft and stretchy and seems to keep her cooler than the other cotton swaddles I’d used (Swaddle Me and Halo just have so much fabric she would wake up clammy in just a short sleeve onesie underneath). She’d break out of traditional swaddles. I highly recommend this for ease of use as well. It’s so easy to nurse her, let her drift to sleep and then zip her up in the Love to Dream swaddle. I’ll definitely be getting the transitional ones when she’s older. If you’re curious about trying this for your little one, I would not hesitate to get it.

This swaddle is literally fool-proof especially for a first time parent. No crazy Velcro, no way to mess up and leave too much fabric in places that could potentially cover the baby’s breathing, no way for baby to wiggle out of it but also doesn’t restrict them from self soothing or showing hunger cues. My baby boy prefers having his hands by his face when sleeping, so we haven’t been huge fans of the arms pinned down at the sides swaddles. Plus is also the ONLY swaddle my husband can handle. If your husband is helping you during nighttime feeds/diaper changes, do yourself, him, and your baby a favor and just get this swaddle. I will say the price is a little steep for just one - wish it came in a two or three pack or something. That would be a game changer for us - we use it so often and it needs to be washed often since milk and baby fluids get on it. Having a pack of at least two would be a dream.

The startle reflux has been kicking our trash but baby kicks out of every swaddle, works an arm free and wakes up from rubbing their face, startle, all the normally baby things. So on the search I went. We’ve tried halo, swaddle me, blankets, elastic blankets, but this is the holy grail! Baby gets access to hand to soothe but the elastic fabric has been the ultimate game changer. I’ve watched my two month old wake up, squirm and go back to sleep, something they had never done before! Will be buying the next size up when needed.

My husband and I just had twins in June and swaddled them in receiving blankets for the first week and a half. They're little escape artists who learned to bust out, which understandably made us nervous because a traditional swaddle once escaped is a potentially dangerous blanket it in bassinet. My friend had sent me the three Small sized of these swaddles that she used with her girls, but we had to go out and get the newborn size for our preemies. Newborn is really only available to buy in gray, unfortunately.I'm nervous about the transitional swaddle in a few weeks. I know my girls will be starting to roll before they can fit a medium and the transitional swaddles start at medium. I wish there were more products available for those of us whose babies are smaller than average.I love these swaddles because they are fast, easy to use, and the girls don't get worked-up while being put in them like they did with the blanket swaddles. I just wish the sizing worked a bit better for preemies.

If you want a swaddler that wink be comfy for baby and puts you at ease knowing there arms won't get out so they won't flip this product is for you its so great because babies love to sleep with there arms up so it makes them feel snug and comfy got this for my new born after trying one with velcro and velcro product was easy for the baby to get arms out of and make them not feel swaddled!
