Zen Swaddle

Molly L.

weeThink

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.

LOVE: 78 NEUTRAL: 57
REGRET: 35 WANT: 139

  • Have this product but wish the weight was a little bigger. Did not work for us but baby slept cozy in it Jan 17, 2021

  • My son loves to be swaddled. When it was time to transition we bought this to give a little more comfort. He absolutely hated it. We used it from and back. This product was a waste of money for us. Jan 04, 2021

  • Bought 2 to help with sleep training. So far haven't seen a difference from when we use other sleep sacks though. Jan 03, 2021

  • Didn’t work well with my daughter, but honestly nothing helped her sleep. So may have been more about her than the swaddle. Dec 31, 2020

  • Nice swaddle but didn’t really give her any more comfort like advertised. I don’t think it’s a bad product just didn’t work For us. Pro: lightweight. Con: expensive. Dec 15, 2020

  • I don’t know if this is what really did it, but my newborn started sleeping due 4 hour chunks of time once I started putting her in this. Dec 02, 2020

  • Wanted to love this for the cute print and because the idea of the weighted egg was nice. But we ended up preferring Halo Swaddles for their ease and effectiveness at getting our kid to sleep. Nov 27, 2020

  • I loved that it could be zipped in both directions, giving easy access for diaper changes, but I don’t feel it helped my daughter sleep longer. Nov 11, 2020

  • The top of the swaddle with the weighted portion does not secure to anything, just lays on baby's chest. Our baby kicked and the swaddle basically just came undone. Not recommended for active babies. Oct 27, 2020

  • I love this swaddle. The weights in it are so soothing and my son sleeps much better in it! Oct 03, 2020

  • Not approved by my baby. Jul 18, 2020

  • When our baby was young, this is the only swaddle he’d tolerate. Jul 15, 2020

  • Does not do anything for my baby Jul 10, 2020

  • 4 month sleep regression was rough with our little! He would wake up every 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helped a little - wake ups every 1 - 2 hours. At 6 months, we dont use it as much but occassional Jul 09, 2020

  • It is super soft, cute and the weight kept the nap interruptions away. Jul 03, 2020

  • My son loved this and having the pressure on him while sleeping seemed to help the night time sleeping! Jun 29, 2020

  • Our daughter loves this when she takes naps out of her Snoo. The weight is perfect and she falls asleep FAST Jun 29, 2020

  • This product just didn’t work for us. In Midsummer it’s just overheats him. He was also able to escape from it from time to time which is frustrating for everyone. Jun 23, 2020

  • SOOO excited to use this. Material is soft, the weight feels flexible enough so that when baby does begin to roll he won’t be uncomfortable. The swaddle seems very straightforward Jun 07, 2020

  • This worked so well. It provided just enough pressure to make my babe think my hand was on his chest May 31, 2020

  • This is a must for a baby that has to be soothed to sleep. we would have to pat the babe's back for her to calm down and go to sleep, until we started using the nested bean sack. May 21, 2020

  • Couldn’t live without this swaddle , my daughter needs a swaddle and likes to be held this swaddle mimics touch & she sleeps about 14 hours and can’t sleep with out it but it has a big price tag May 19, 2020

  • Love this product! The weight is perfectly distributed and not too heavy. Just enough weight to mimic my hand and calm my baby. She definitely sleeps better with it!! Apr 14, 2020

  • I didn’t find that this swaddle helped my baby to sleep longer. The weighted element is a great idea. Apr 13, 2020

  • We got one for our son while he was in when we were having a hard time getting him to sleep through the night. I think it worked a little bit but not as well as we were hoping. Good quality overall. Apr 10, 2020

  • I bought this in hopes it would help my son sleep, but ended up returning it after reading articles where pediatricians and NICU doctors warn against using weighted sleepsacks due to suffocation risks May 31, 2020

  • Used this swaddle the longest. Baby loves the added weight. May 08, 2020

  • It seems well made and I loved the easy zipper access. I'm neutral because it did not help my son sleep at night. Mar 04, 2020

  • The weighted section give baby comfort of being help without having to he held. My girl still sleeps so much better with hers then regular swaddles. Jan 29, 2020

  • My daughter got her arms loose and the chest velcro was around her neck and face. Never used again Jan 20, 2020

  • I did not like this product. It was too awkward to swaddle together. I don’t think the beanbag did much of anything imitation wise. Jan 02, 2020

  • 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

    • Amy K.

    • Ellicott City, Maryland

    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

    • Elly S.

    • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

    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

    • Katie G.

    • United States of America

    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.

    • Swedesboro, New Jersey

    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

  • A great swaddle that provides real weight on the chest, just like mom's hand. Our kids also loved this one. Oct 06, 2017

  • 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

  • We have two and works just like pretty much all the other swaddles. It's fine but def doesn't get us any more sleep. May 03, 2017

    • Aly M.

    • Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

    Great idea but didn't work for my baby Apr 13, 2017

  • Great concept and my baby loves this swaddle. This makes nights so much better. Mar 30, 2017

  • Super soft cotton, and I really like that it's weight both on the top and the sides with a bean bag. Feb 16, 2015

    • Dawn L.

    • New York, New York

    Such a great product Oct 16, 2014

  • 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
