Happiest Baby Sleepea 5-Second Swaddle - 100% Organic Cotton Baby Swaddle Blanket - Doctor Designed Promotes Healthy Hip Development (Charcoal Stars, Large)

Product Information

One thing to keep in mind is sizing: Some of the Aden + Anais swaddles come in 44 inches and others come in 47 inches. I would invest in the larger size to account for longer babies and swaddle use as they grow. SwaddleMe Original should be called the "cheater swaddle" for how easy it is to use. The Velcro hook and loop closures make securing the baby really fast and secure. You slide the baby in and close the front over their arms. It allows babies to have their arms across their chests or down by their sides. The best swaddling method I’ve ever learned is an easy, four-step approach that a wonderful midwife once showed me. I call it the DUDU swaddle to help parents remember the steps: Down- Up- Down- Up. While other swaddles might be easier to wrap, babies can easily break out of them, making the swaddle ineffective. With the Aden + Anais wrap, you can snugly secure your baby without worrying about breakouts, and since the fabric is highly breathable, you don't have to worry about your child feeling too hot. You can also keep the legs unwrapped for easy diaper changes, and the silky material is so soft on delicate skin. I initially put off buying the Aden + Anais swaddle because other swaddles seemed easier to handle, but after a few uses, I would now recommend this swaddle to anyone. The Aden + Anais swaddle sheathed and relaxed my little bull of a son without overheating him.

The Swaddle Up comes in a single layer of breathable cotton with double zippers and stitching on the outside. With this design, nothing irritating touches your baby's skin. The double zippers make it easy for the middle-of-the-night diaper changes. Make sure the material that the swaddler is made out of is soft enough to rest against baby’s sensitive skin. Some blankets come pre-washed and consists of 100% cotton muslin that gets even softer with each wash. When testing swaddles we consider a number of factors including ease of use, material, comfort and value for money. We asked a group of real mums what they used to swaddle their baby and what they liked and disliked about it. Swaddling is not always an easy task. In fact, new-parent nerves plus sleep deprivation can make swaddling feel downright impossible. That means, parents might, 1) give up on swaddling too soon , or 2) improperly wrap their baby, so that the swaddle comes loose, unravels, or rides up over a baby’s mouth and nose, putting their little one in danger. That’s why it’s important to select a swaddle that makes it easy-peasy to get right. One to consider: The Sleepea 5-Second Swaddle, which was voted Best Easy Swaddle by Babylist, Easiest Swaddle to Use by What to Expect, and reviewers for New York Magazine’s The Strategist simply note that Sleepea is “magic.” Best Baby Swaddle Must: AAP-approved

John & Calvin’s Sleepea Review

Watch your baby for signs that it’s time to stop using the swaddler. These signs include rolling over, increased arm and leg movement, breaking out of the swaddler and disrupted sleep after having established a healthy sleeping pattern. Examine the swaddler to see how much of a custom fit you can get. Some swaddlers have inner bands that keep babies from being able to break out, while others utilize Velcro. There are also models that use a hook and loop attachment to secure the wings. As your baby gets older, you may notice the swaddlers switch to snaps. This is to give parents the option to free their babies’ arms during the weaning process. The Sleepea Swaddle by Happiest Baby is safe, snug, and super-simple. It's the only swaddle designed by Dr. Harvey Karp. Make sure your swaddle is secure! Choosing the right size swaddle blanket helps ensure a secure fit. A swaddle that can easily come loose is dangerous. Shoot for a swaddle blanket that’s about a 47-inch square.

Because Sleepea is made with soft organic cotton and breathable mesh panels, you can rest assured that your little one will not only sleep comfortably all night long (no matter the season), but they will snooze safely, too. After all, Sleepea was designed by renowned paediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the world’s leading swaddling expert.This was the only swaddle I could use for my baby, who would escape everything else," says Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab Executive Director Lexie Sachs. The zipper can zip up from the bottom, so you can change a diaper without unwrapping your newborn. Get the right swaddle blanket. Swaddle blankets can easily be too big, too small, or too heavy, leading to dangerous unwrapping and/or overheating. The ideal swaddle blanket needs to be light and breathable, made of 100% organic cotton or muslin, and measuring roughly 47 inches by 47 inches.

Below is a helpful list of the safety advice from our experts; sleep consultant Maria Murphy and Kate Holmes, Head of Support and Infomation at Lullaby Trust. In this Sleepea review, we’ll explain how Sleepea works, offer some observations based on spending 30 days with it, and provide the awesome, the wish it were different, and a verdict. No need to add a baby blanket. A swaddle is a blanket; it isn't necessary to add another one on top of your baby. When your child outgrows swaddling, they can sleep in a wearable blanket, which can't accidentally fall over their face and become a suffocation hazard, like a loose blanket could. The shaking seems a tad unnerving to begin with, but when you think about all the movement in daily life that gets a baby off to sleep, i.e walking in a carrier, it makes perfect sense. Is the Snoo easy to set up?When baby begins to show signs of rolling, the Sleepea converts to an arms out swaddle by unpopping a few snappers. This is a handy feature that could give the Sleepea more longevity – although, depending on the size, the baby could have outgrown the swaddle long before they begin to roll. The swaddle comes in four different sizes, which means you may not get a lot of use from the Sleepea before the baby is ready for the next size. Comfort and features Because Sleepea is made with soft organic cotton and breathable mesh panels, you can rest assured that your little one will not only sleep comfortably all night long (no matter the season), but they’ll snooze safely, too. After all, Sleepea was designed by renowned pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the world’s leading swaddling expert. You should swaddle your baby for naps and nighttime sleep from the start…and continue doing so throughout your baby’s missing fourth trimester. This is a period of three to four months after birth when your newborn’s still-developing brain and nervous system remain reliant on the womb-like sensations of the 5 S’s for sleep and comfort.
