The swaddle is advertised for infants aged 0-6, or up to 18 lbs. This was a very minor issue since I have a sewing machine and was able to fix it. On one of my swaddles, the Velcro is so sticky that it ripped the stitch that held it to the swaddle.

The Velcro seems to be stickier in some swaddles than others. This usually only happens during the day when I swaddle arms out.ģ. As my baby kicks, the weighted part droops out and then the rest of the swaddle falls off. When I swaddle my baby arms out, the weighted panels 'help' in the swaddle coming undone. The holes are located in the triangular seams of inside pocket. After two weeks of use, I have found that there are holes in the seams because I do pull the swaddle tight. Due to this fact, I stretch the swaddle to ensure a tight fit. No matter how tightly I swaddle, my baby's arms are freed.

The reason I docked a star for this was based on a few small reasons.ġ. So, for ease-of-swaddle, I believe all the swaddles are pretty much equal. However, it was a two step process that I don't necessarily believe helped with the night time changes. The Halo's sleepsack design with a zipper makes it very easy to keep a tight swaddle. The SwaddleMe and the Nuroo's designs are similar in the way the baby is wrapped. During our first weeks, we switched between different swaddles (wrapping in a blanket, as well as different brands such as SwaddleMe, Halo, Nuroo) and found we had the most success with achieving deeper sleep due to the weighted panels. The weighted panels really do soothe my baby. I have found that the classic swaddle seems a bit stretchier than the premier swaddle. I've used it since day one at the hospital (it was the one swaddle I packed in my hospital bag!) and now my baby is seven weeks old. The Zen swaddle is made of really soft cotton.
