Nested Bean Zen Swaddle® Premier - Gently Weighted Swaddle | Baby 0-6M | TOG 1.0 | Bamboo Cotton Blend | Prevents Startles | Aids Self-Soothing | 2 Sizes in 1| Machine Washable

I absolutely loved the material. This didn't work out for us thought. My baby was able to escape it easily.

This was our first try at a swaddle sack, my son is three months old, we have been swaddling him in muslins since birth but thought this may be a quicker and safer option. Unfortunately the swaddle wings weren't long enough to tuck in as suggested by the "how to" video even though my son is under the indicated weight range, this made a snug enough swaddle pretty tough to achieve. The velcro straps were the real issue though. When it became necessary to reposition him, he woke up at the sound of the straps being undone, he then became aware of the swaddle and was naturally quite upset. We've since moved over to the Zen Sack. Overall, the swaddle product seems well designed and would probably work well for younger babies who can sort of get used to it from birth.

I have tried many swaddles for my three children, and I have never loved one more. I typically hate swaddles because they are not adjustable enough to fit every baby, and the wash poorly, but this swaddle holds up well after washing, and is adjustable enough to fit babies of all sizes. It is very warm and soft, although it is lightweight fabric. Our newborn loves it. The inner pocket for newborns is incredibly helpful, and I love that this will grow with our baby. It is definitely worth the price.

My 2 month old grandson was having a hard time sleeping for more than 45 minutes and we were online looking for help when I ran across an article that talked about this swaddle. I ordered it and the very day it came we put him in it and he slept for 4 solid hours and has been sleeping well in it for the past 2 months. The gentle weights are strategically placed as to provide gentle comfort. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Our baby took to this right away. It’s super soft and he loves the weight but he has always liked me putting my hand on his chest so maybe that made it easier. The Velcro is super strong but isn’t super loud and scary for him. It’s soft and lightweight

I received one of these as a gift for my daughter and I was a little reluctant. But let me tell you, she really loved it and slept SO well when we used the Zen swaddle. Which means SO DID WE!! I purchased a second one to have so I could rotate them and I have purchased them for my expecting family members and friends since.Highly recommend!

This swaddle closes very tightly due to the super velcro, which our baby does well with. Just make sure the velcro ends up touching the intended velcro fabric on the other side. Our baby seems to sleep better with the small weight and thus we really only use this swaddle.

Love all of it except for the Velcro. It is so strong it’s takes me a second to get it off and end up waking up my baby in the process. I normally love Nested Bean but this one is not my favorite.

I wanted to love this swaddle. I really did. However, it did not work for us and our baby.Our baby is quite long, at about 24" at 3 months old. At this length, his feet are already maxed out in the large pouch of this swaddle which is intended to fit until 6 months. He kicks lots through the night and the weighted portion end up slipping out of the swaddled part and exposes his legs.I also found that this swaddle is great after it is washed and dried, but quickly stretches after the first use and then my baby is able to wiggle his arms out if the swaddle.All that being said, it is amazingly soft and lightweight. The pattern is super cute. Again, I really want to love this swaddle, and perhaps for a shorter, younger baby it would be perfect! But for our tall strong little guy it just wasn't a good fit.

I have two of these and have been using them for almost 4 months. Here's the verdict:Pros: lightweight, washes well and cute design. Cons: very short! The weighted portion only goes up to my son's waist and he is not even 4 months old. The inner pocket is useless. The velcro curls which is a problem because it closes on baby's back so he's laying on a lump. It's expensive. I have two the same size (one giraffe print one fox print) and one is much smaller than the other, suggesting poor quality control.This swaddle helped when my boy was a newborn, so the first month. However, this swaddle should be made longer in the bottom so it can grow better with baby and be made with longer wings so that it fastens at the front, not the back.I'd recommend to someone not worried about cost, but that's about it. I don't think the weighted portion does much to help.

I bought this when my baby was a month and a half old, desperate for some sleep and willing to try anything. My formula fed baby had only been sleeping for a maximum of 1.5 hours at a time, with the usual being 45 minutes. The first night we used this, he slept for one 4.5 hour stretch, then a couple of 2 hour stretches after that! Coincidence? Maybe. The next night was almost as good as the first with one 3 hour stretch and a few 2 hour stretches after that. Been using it for a month now and the nights have slowly gotten better and better (with the odd not so good night on occasion). Minus one star because of the placement of the patch that the velcro sticks to. It is all the way on the back so unless you have a tiny baby, there is no way you'd be swaddling with arms in and get the velcro safely stuck down. Other than that, this swaddle is high quality and made with cute, soft and stretchy fabric. Lifesaver? Quite possibly!

Fairly expensive, not sure I would recommend as I don't necessarily think it helps our baby sleep. We can put her in a muslin swaddle and she sleeps just as well. I love how soft it is, and it has lots of stretch, cute design, but based on price and that our baby sleeps pretty good anyway I wouldn't recommend trying it unless cheaper alternatives don't work.

It's an adorable sleep swaddle and my daughter has been using it for about a month. I don't see a difference in her sleep habits though. She is 3.5 months old now and we just got through three nights of her sleeping 90 to 120 minutes in between feedings even with her wearing this swaddle (likely a growth spurt combined with bowel issues). It's a good quality swaddle just don't expect it to change your babies sleep habits. Even when baby isn't going through a growth spurt, her sleep isn't any different (five hours followed by three hours, followed by two or three hours).
