what parents are saying
For my newborn, this is the best! Easier than re-swaddling every hour after feeding & diapering (if that is a word). (Jan 26, 2017)

The ONLY swaddle that worked for us. The zipper makes it SO easy too. My baby didn’t love being swaddled in general, but I still love this one over all the others we tried. Jan 05, 2024

Daughter loved these when she was born and until she was almost 2 months old. Apr 01, 2023

These were great for the newborn stage. Feb 15, 2023

Way too thin and cheap feeling Feb 03, 2023

Meh. I didn't love them, I didn't hate them. My baby tended to bust her arms out the top, even when she was new, so I'm not sure how great they were. Oct 31, 2022
It was really useful for when my daughter was a newborn. It helped her sleep longer Oct 19, 2022

So perfect to transition from arms in to arms out. My girls loved them! Jul 25, 2022

Ran very small so didn’t get to use very long! Jul 08, 2022

These are great. I have the Velcro strap version as well and I think these are just easier! The zíper is a two way for easy diaper changes. Jun 16, 2022

These swaddle pods are LIFE CHANGING!!! Super easy to use, LO’s loved them & can’t wait to try on DD. May 13, 2022

These were perfect for when my guys were newborns. They are soft, easy to clean, and provide a little hug to the babies. Mar 29, 2022

I liked this swaddle style as we could skip the loud Velcro, but it was a little harder to get baby in just right to zip it up. Dec 27, 2021
- Kelle O.
Verona, WI, Wisconsin
We liked this swaddle pod with our first and second babies to keep their arms from escaping a blanket swaddle. I'm wondering now if the neck stretched out because my third baby snuck his hands out! Oct 13, 2021

Great for the first few weeks. Would only recommend in the smallest size. Sep 22, 2021
This is a cross between the tighter Velcro swaddles and the one where the hands are at baby's sides. I found this just frustrated my daughter. If she's done with swaddles, get a sleep sack. Skip this. Sep 01, 2021
- Margo H.

These are our absolute favorite swaddles. Perfect for summer. Smaller babies can also leave their hands up in them! Jul 31, 2021
- Krista T.
Sauk Rapids, Minnesota
We used these for the first 6 weeks. They are perfect and light weight. Added bonus that there is no Velcro to jar baby awake during late night diaper changes! Jun 22, 2021
- Spencer S.

Must have for newborns or premie babies. These are tight and small enough for tiny babies. They also zip which makes diaper changes super easy. Jun 02, 2021

Easiest swaddle for newborns! Great for MOTN diaper changes with the zipper. Quick and easy and lets kiddo snuggle with their hands down or up by their chin. Apr 22, 2021

I love this so easy to change baby at nights and keeps her warm Mar 31, 2021

My baby hated being swaddled and after a few nights of trying this, we decided to try a different sleep sack that let his arms be a little more free. I’m sure these would work better for some babies. Feb 26, 2021
- Linnea W.

I love the newborn size. It fit really well and my son slept so well in it. The zipper up from the bottom was so easy fro diaper changes. The next size up is way too big, I wish they could fix that. Dec 20, 2020
- Rachel S.

I loved these when he was little, but he grew out of them so fast and decided he wanted his arms free pretty early on. Nov 17, 2020

These work great with a smaller baby when other swaddles may be too big. I used them for the first few weeks home with my baby who came 3 weeks early and he slept so well. Oct 08, 2020
- Anne-Marie V.

I remember when my son was first born! This was the first thing he slept in that night. He loved it and slept so well! Aug 20, 2020
My little girl hated this and freaked out when we put her in and my hubby thinks it looks like a body bag. Aug 07, 2020

Super easy to use, just zip! My Houdini baby kept breaking her hands out, though. Wish we could've used it more! Aug 03, 2020
- Eva W.

This were an absolute must for my daughters first few weeks. Love the zipper for diaper changes. By week three she had outgrown them, so I upgraded her to the SwaddleMe Original in the 0-3 mo size. Aug 03, 2020
- Lisa D.
Hermitage, Tennessee
Received one of these as a gift and it was our favorite swaddle as first time parents who didn't now how to swaddle. We bought like 4 more for our upcoming baby #2. So easy. Baby LOVES them! Jul 30, 2020

I tried this with both of my boys but they both hated it. Mar 08, 2022

We used these in the hospital, and when we first brought our baby home until she outgrew them. They seemed to be comforting to her and the double zipper made diaper changes easy. Aug 19, 2020

Both my kids loved these the first couple weeks. Anything to help with sleep is a win! Feb 08, 2020

My little was not a fan, but she also hated being swaddled. Would work great for the newborn who loves being swaddled. May 29, 2019
- Allie B.
Mullica Hill, New Jersey
We used this for a very short period of time, like first few weeks and that was it. It did keep our daughter cozy during slumber and I would swaddle her in this to nurse at night. Would buy just one! Mar 10, 2018

Very easy to use and light weight. My son slept well in this. My daughter could wiggle her hands out of the top. Sep 24, 2017

These are not adjustable in size. The material is very stretchy. Because of this baby can still move her arms all around and wakes herself up. Also the zipper is intimidating because you don't want to zip up little ones skin. Sep 01, 2017
- Meaghan Q.
Issaquah, Washington
Great newborn sleep sacks! Very easy to use and both of my girls absolutely loved them. They don't wear them long, but worth it for the short period. Jun 21, 2017

My daughter loved being swaddled. These were great. I would put her in a onesie and then in this swaddlepod. She couldn't get her arms out. I wish they came in a size bigger than newborn though. Jan 20, 2017
- Tonya V.

These were just okay. It was a nice concept, but it practice, my babies moved around too much in them. Dec 27, 2016
- Desirae S.

I LOVE the double zippers, size options, and thin fabric. Easy to change diapers, baby is snug and not drowning in fabric, and doesn't overheat! Sep 09, 2016

Used from time we discovered it (about 2 weeks old) until he outgrew it! Jan 21, 2016

Obsessed with these. No velcro to mess with. SO easy and convenient even in the middle of the night. And soft and enough room for them to move but not so much they come out. Jul 19, 2015
- Sarah N.
Seattle, Washington
Super easy to use, which I love, but our DD was a super squirmer and could wiggle her arms out of this pretty easily so it defeated the purpose. May 13, 2015
- Christa V.
Davison, Michigan
Used these when our baby was very small. She liked having her hands available so they did not last long. Oct 31, 2014
