Sleep-saver!,
This product was probably the best money I spent on my son. I had learned how to do an extremely effective swaddle with just a normal blanket, not knowing these existed. This just made life so much easier. As for the other review’s criticism of the suffocation hazard, I think there are ways to avoid it. My son was also able to get his arms out, particularly once he got older, but they always went over the wings, not under, so it wasn’t a suffocation hazard. Basically, if you velcro it extremely tightly (and any swaddle worth doing, regardless of technique should be), and do it such that it is low enough (top of wings roughly even with the top of the baby’s bicep), you should be fine. It’s important to remember that you’re trying to pin their arms to their sides, which means you can put the wing part pretty low, and it will make it harder for them to escape, and more likely that went they do, they escape with their arms above the wings.
This had such a huge impact on my son’s sleep. And while we tried to wean him from it earlier, he continued to need it until he was about 5 months old. There’s no way I could have swaddled him until he was that old, b/c the blankets just weren’t big enough, and he was too strong. That meant that this product allowed us to ensure that he continued sleeping for 12 hours/night.

|Great Idea!,
We are huge fans of the swaddle. Both of our daughters have benefited from it, and it has helped up get a lot of extra sleep! We have used everything from basic blankets, the swaddle me, a receiving blanket then topped with the swaddle me (really holds them in-but they have to be dressed minimally underneath there), the miracle blanket and now this. This is a great idea!
PROS
1. Heavy duty velcro stays on securely-I do not think they could get the velcro undone
2. Allows for the arms to be swaddled, but isn’t too tight on them
3. Allows for access to the diaper easily for those middle of the night changes
4. The swaddle part is removeable if you just want to use the sack
5. washes very well and holds up to repeated use
6. it is the only swaddling product I have found that doesn’t require much effort to put on, thus doesn’t wake up the drowsy or sleeping baby (IF the sack itself is already on-we open up the swaddle part in the middle of the night for our 7 week old’s feedings, and if she dozes off, we can quickly and easily swaddle her back up and not disturb her)
CONS
1. the legs are pretty free in there-if your child needs his or her legs to be secure also, this may not be the thing, but I haven’t found that to be an issue with too many people
2. it is small and so far only sold in newborn size. Our 7 week old is very long for her age, and she really still needs to be swaddled but is outgrowing the sack in length. I am contemplating sewing patches on the back of our larger sleep sacks so that we can use the swaddle portion on those, but it would be nice if they made it in a larger size.
