Okay, I think I’ve earned a PhD in Baby Swaddles by now. I’ve tried it all—SwaddleMe, Halo Sleepsack, Magic Sleepsuit… you name it, it’s probably in my closet. So grab a coffee, because this is a journey.Baby #1 hated the Swaddle UP. Tried it for a few nights—no sleep, just rage (from both of us). She loved SwaddleMe instead. Great! Cheaper! But… the Velcro was SO loud, and every time I changed a diaper at 2 a.m., it was like pulling duct tape in a library. And getting her arms back in? Like wrestling a mini ninja.Fast forward 2 years, enter Baby #2. I dusted off the swaddle stash. He liked SwaddleMe at first, but old Velcro + squirmy baby = arms popping out in 1 hour. Bought a new one—same issue. Then tried Halo again: decent, but still that Velcro rip makes me wince.Last resort: Swaddle UP. I had zero expectations after the first baby hated it. But guess what? This baby LOVED it. Slept like a dream. I even had to wake him up to feed. And I could actually sleep too without anxiety-checking if his arms escaped.Here’s my advice: don’t do what I did and buy every swaddle on the internet. Just watch how your baby sleeps in the hospital:• If they love arms down, go SwaddleMe.• If they like hands near the face, Swaddle UP is your winner.Good luck, and may your coffee be strong and your baby’s sleep longer than 20 minutes!

Our newborn loves it! Got us some sleep! She finally will sleep in 4 hour stretches with this on. So cozy! It’s also nice and lightweight so she can wear softer, thicker Jammie’s under and not get too hot. Love that she can have her hands up to soothe. This is worth the buy! We bought 2, so if she has a potty accident or spits up on it we have a back up.

Works great for a baby that likes to sleep with his/her hands by their head

We bought this swaddle for our late - preemie. She weighed in under 6 lbs. She wanted her arms up and other swaddles were too big or didn’t give her the arms up option. This saved us. One thing I’d add is if it doesn’t fit snug she still would wake herself up- so if your baby is at the smaller weight limit size be prepared that it will work better as they get older. We ended up moving out of this when she got older and wanted her arms down and tighter to her body. We expect to work our way back to arms up around 2 months

This sleep sack has been a wonderful addition to our bedtime routine. It’s not a traditional swaddle which we actually love because it allows our baby more natural movement while still providing just enough snugness for comfort. It’s not overly tight, which is important since babies need their startle reflex for safety, especially in preventing SIDS.One of our favorite features is the arms-up design. Our baby hates having his arms pinned down, so this gives him the freedom to self-soothe while still feeling secure. The two-way zipper is also a huge plus. it makes those overnight diaper changes so much easier and quicker, without having to fully undress him or wake him up too much.The fabric is soft, breathable, and high quality. We’ve noticed better sleep stretches since using it, and we feel confident knowing it supports both safety and comfort. If you have a baby who isn’t a fan of tight swaddles or likes to sleep with their arms up, this is definitely worth trying!My son is 8 weeks old 12-13ish pounds and he fits perfectly in the medium.

We absolutely love this swaddle!Our baby has been using it since he was around 6-7 weeks old, and it has been a game changer for sleep. He never liked traditional swaddles and was always an arms-up sleeper, so this design worked perfectly for him. It gave him the comfort he needed without restricting him too much. Not to mention that he cant go to sleep unless in it, even during the day. But now that he has started rolling, we’re planning to transition to the next stage with their sleep sack that allows arms out. Highly recommend to any parents with babies who prefer sleeping with their arms up!

This is such a great product! I noticed sometimes our daughter really fought the Halo Swaddle, to the point where she got really worked up and we couldn't come her down. So I decided to give the Swaddle UP a try. It works great for us! I love that it's lightweight and she really loves having her arms up. I still use the Halo Swaddle, too, but I love having this as an option when I can tell she doesn't want to get her arms strapped down (it depend on her mood :-P). It's also super cute :).

Why did you pick this product vs others?:i had never tried any type of sleep sack, so i took a chance on this one. i was not disappointed. my sweet babe would only sleep on my chest and while it was adorable, i was not getting any good sleep. the first night we put her in this, she slept on her own in her bassinet for 4 hours, woke up to eat, and then slept another few hours. total game changer for us. i’m definitely going to buy more colors and size up when needed.
