Amazing Baby Transitional Swaddle Sack with Arms Up Half-Length Sleeves and Mitten Cuffs, Medium, 3–6 months, 14-21 lbs, Tiny Elephants, Pink (Arms Up Swaddle, Transition Swaddle Sleep Sack)

Our son is 2 months old now and we needed to switch him from a regular zipper swaddle to one where he can use his arms. We’ve tried a couple different kinds and this one works the best!! Definitely will have to buy the bigger size when he out grows this one! I ordered a size 3-6 months perfect size still has lots of room!

My son is three weeks old he HATED being swaddled with his hands down at his sides. After going through his list of needs over and over and him still being fussy I looked at other swaddle options. THIS! This is a blessing and seems like a miracle. It's soft and doesn't shrink in the dryer. I love that it's half sleeve so when he gets startled he doesn't jerk as abruptly. It's warm enough for a regular sleeper underneath and not too hot. I have 3 so far and looking to order more. The only thing that I wish is that they had a fishing themed material but that isn't a need. He's three weeks old and sleeps so comfortably. I LOVE this product. My son is about 7.5 pounds and 20 inches and this fits him with room to grow. I know there are fancier ones out there BUT the price for this is more than reasonable for the quality you get. I love the two way zipper so I don't have to take his arms out to change him. I love the little mitten cuffs that cover his hands so he doesn't scratch himself. If you're wondering if its worth it..... It totally is.

When I brought my baby home we used to swaddle with his arms down like the nurses showed us but he would always break out. We tried sleep sacks and other swaddles nothing worked. I’ve noticed he loves sleeping with his hands up and when I saw this swaddle I knew I had to get it. This swaddle made him sleep through the night and keeps him warm and cozy. It’s easy to change diapers at night and if your baby likes to soothe themselves you’re able to let their hands out. Another reason I got this is when he decides to start rolling he’s able to get his arms under him. The only con is the sizing is weird. It runs big.

I have used this product for multiple children. It is an incredible concept and works wonderfully for babies to feel cozy but have the safety of being able to roll around. It does help dull the startle reflex as well. To those reviews complaining that the arms are too short--they are designed that way on purpose to help with the reflex and snugness with the cuffs up, and when you remove the cuffs they help baby transition to a sleep sack which are typically designed without sleeves.The issue I have with these sleepers is that though they arrive very soft, in good quality, and seemingly a little bit large, they do shrink in the wash quite a bit. The type of material always seems to become dingy when the cuffs are up and baby is sucking on the fabric as well.Another issue I ran into with multiple of these swaddles is that with normal gentle use, the zipper started getting "sticky", would not line up properly and completely fell apart so that it was unusable. Five out of five stars for the return policy that I was still able to take advantage of when the zippers broke as they were faulty. The zippers have not changed over the years from what I could tell, but when compared to two-way zippers on other swaddles and pajamas I use, they don't glide as easily and just aren't as good of quality. I have no issues with any other type of two-way zipper swaddles and clothing and I am using them just as much if not more than the swaddle.Unfortunately I didn't want to have to deal with the zippers again so I moved on to another very similar type of product which has stayed softer, doesn't shrink hardly at all, and has a wonderfully smooth zipper.One critique I have of any type of swaddler, transition swaddle, or sleep sack is that these companies are taking a advantage of parents who need their children to sleep warmly and safely. You cannot claim that it costs that much more money to make a swaddle or sleep sack compared to a pair of footie pajamas. Same material, same zipper, and we're paying at least $15-$40 dollars more. That's really disappointing to me, especially because not everybody can afford to put that in their budget, or buy more than one swaddler. It saddens me to think that babies are potentially continually swaddled with a blanket which can be dangerous, or don't sleep with anything but their own pajamas if they need that warmth or want that extra layer of comfort. I wish companies would stop charging so much just because they can, and start making all types of swaddles more fairly priced.

My little girl is currently 6 weeks old. As first time parents the hospital nurses recommended sleep sacks vs swaddling. So i immediately ordered a couple including this particular transition swaddle sack. As a new born she didn't mind having her hands tucked...for about two weeks. Afterwards it was harder to put her to bed as she preferred her hands out, but had terrible startle reflex. I finally remembered i had ordered this one as well and its been a game changer! Great quality, for a great price point. Not too think or thick so I don't have to worry about her over heating or freezing during these winter nights. It's also made it easier to go down for naps. As the confort or the sack let's her know its time to sleep. She goes down in 5min vs the 20-30min it would take to soothing her. I'm considering purchasing more. But no matter how many times I've washed this it's stayed in great condition.

It has a cute design and feels soft and well-made, but it didn’t work as well as I hoped for my baby. The “arms up” feature is a great idea, but my little one still struggled to settle and didn’t seem as comfortable as with other swaddles we’ve tried.The mitten cuffs are a nice touch for preventing scratches, and the fabric feels breathable, which is great for warmer nights. However, it just didn’t help with sleep as much as I expected. It might work better for other babies, but it wasn’t a perfect fit for us.

This sleep sack... i literally put it on and my preemie did not move. Usually he squirms and grunts, but this sleep sack? Five stars! And not to mention, he seems so comfortable. Looking forward to getting some uniterrupted sleep tonight!
