what parents are saying
I really liked it, & feel like if you get it when the baby is young enough it's wonderful and helps! We got about a month use, then she rolled over in her sleep so it wasn't comfortable to lay on. (Jun 14, 2017)

Research shows that touch, even simulated touch, calms babies by triggering their self-soothing response. The Zen Swaddle’s lightly weighted areas apply gentle pressure on your baby’s sides and center, mimicking the comfort of being held. This helps newborns snooze through minor disturbances, even startle reflexes. During their test phase, mothers reported that their babies got at least two hours of extra sleep.

We tried the swaddled for a while and loved it so much we also bought the sleep sack. The material is great! Not to thick or warm and the slightly weighted chick was just enough to comfort our LO. Nov 27, 2019

Didn’t work as advertised, however it is a nice option for a cotton sleep sac. I like the adjustable shoulder straps. Because of the zipper going across the bottom and up the side it’s easy to lay out Nov 19, 2019

I can not love this product enough! My daughter would wake up 5+ times a night crying and nothing would soothe her until we bought this. She then went to only waking up for feedings! Oct 13, 2019

Couldn't get baby to sleep in this swaddle. Seemed a little too heavy. Didn't stay in place very well. Good idea just poorly executed. Oct 11, 2019

Our one month old did not like it at all:( . We bought it with hopes of him having a good sleep but he actually got very hot in it. We ended up returning it.! Oct 09, 2019

This helped my one month old sleep longer stretches at night. I like how it has an inner pouch for newborns, & fits up to six months. The weighted part isn’t too heavy or bulky & the fabric stretches. Oct 05, 2019

I wanted to love this and it seems like a great idea. My baby wiggles and the weighted parts would move and upset her. You have to open swaddle to change diaper at night, waking baby more. Oct 04, 2019

Used it with two kids and it didn’t affect sleep for better or worse at all. Oct 01, 2019

I used this on our little guy starting at 4 weeks old. It took a couple of weeks but he started sleeping really well. Sep 17, 2019

Helped my baby sleep through the night in 3 nights! However, they can break out of the swaddle, so make sure to try the "blanket trick" underneath so they stay put! Sep 11, 2019

Yes & No. I didn’t see much difference with this compared with other sleep sacks. Yes because it helped transition her from Merlin’s Magic Suit. No because it’s kind of too expensive. Sep 06, 2019

I love this swaddle. I have tried many many swaddles and this by far exceeds all of the rest. It provides the security and comfort my baby needs. Sep 05, 2019

Soft material and easy to put on with two zippers for easy nighttime diaper changes. It claims to help baby sleep, I’m not sure it helped my LO but still love this sleepsack for the adorable design! Sep 05, 2019

The weighted areas make baby feel like they’re being held. Worked great and my allowed my daughter to sleep through the night. Sep 04, 2019

We still use this, but I don't think the weighted feature helps or hinders her sleep. Its very comfortable and easy to put on her, but it's not the miracle sleep fixer as advertised. Aug 27, 2019

Love this and so does my baby Aug 24, 2019

Tried this for my newborn but it was too big. Never tried once he got older as he was sleeping great in a different brand Aug 22, 2019

Seemed like a great concept, however it becomes uncomfortable and not safe once your baby learns to roll/sleep on his stomach. Aug 16, 2019

For the first few months this was a godsend! My baby slept through the night like a champ with this Jul 17, 2019

This lightweight sleep sack is easy to use and wash. It helped my son sleep for a short time. The weighted chest helped calm him down, but his startle reflex kept waking him up. Jul 13, 2019

Baby is stilling sleeping in it every night since newborn 10+ hrs Only thing is that Velcro wears away Jul 08, 2019

This significantly improved my baby's sleep. She still isn't the best sleeper, but she sleeps much better than before we started using this. Jul 07, 2019

Definitely isn’t a well loved item by my daughter. She flips out non stop while it’s on, the 2 times I’ve put it on her... Jun 26, 2019

This swaddle and the baby zen sleep sack totally changed our lives by allowing us to sleep! My son loves his sleep sack so much - as soon as I put it on him he immediately begins to self soothe. Jun 24, 2019

The weight of the blanket is to much for a 2 month old even though it claims to be safe. It makes me very uneasy Jun 13, 2019

Until my son started rolling over, these were our go to wearable blanket. The only reason we stopped was because he didn't 100% roll over, and I could tell the egg weighted portion was uncomfortable. Jun 10, 2019

Our baby sleeps more soundly when in her Zen Swaddle. It's also super comfortable and has plenty of room at the bottom for her to move her legs around. Apr 22, 2019
- Amanda S.

Bought this but haven’t been able to use yet because of weight of baby she’s too small for their recommended weight. Sister had them and swears by them Apr 11, 2019

I have a son who couldn’t sleep without me touch him. So. I thought this might work. He easily broke through. I was extremely disappointed. Apr 07, 2019

Cannot say enough about these!!!! Worth every penny, grows with them so you can use it for months!!! Buyyyyyyy thessssseee Mar 28, 2019

I got several of these and I really liked them at first, but then it seemed that they really weren't working. Not sure if its because we hit the 4mo sleep regression or if they never really worked. Mar 21, 2019

I love these! The chick on the front is just the perfect weight for your baby to think they feel you there. Sep 17, 2019

This didn't work for my son. Concept is good and makes sense, but I guess you can't trick some babies! Sep 17, 2019

This sleep sack worked the best with my baby. It’s easy zip and soft. May 30, 2019

The two-stage sizing makes this helpful for longer than most swaddles. It's easy to wash and dry, with a soft texture. Mar 25, 2019

Great quality and design. It seemed to work on my baby here and there but it wasnt a consistent enough pattern for me to say it was all the swaddle...then she grew out of it :/ Nov 01, 2018
- Allie B.

I love that this fits newborns and almost toddlers! I noticed a difference immediately using the weighted swaddle vs not. I’ve lent this to multiple friends to try & they found it to work as well! Mar 10, 2018

This swaddle worked just fine. I didn’t notice any difference with the weighted bean compared to when we used a cheaper swaddle. I wouldn’t re-purchase. Mar 05, 2018

My 5 month old doesn't really like this, although I have friends who swear by them! Feb 04, 2018

I like the idea but my baby could work out of this more than other brands of velcro swaddles, it just didn't seem to work that well when actually put to the test. Jan 23, 2018

I don't get all these people who say these things are a miracle. It did not work for my baby and I tried for 3 months, totally a waste. Nov 06, 2017

I returned this product because I didn’t like the way that Velcro went together. My baby was able to kick out of it and it didn’t really help her sleep. Oct 18, 2017

Love this weighted swaddle and so does my newborn. He instantly calms down when we place him in this. Has a small pocket for newborn legs, so fits babies starting at 7lbs. Jun 06, 2014
