Product Information

Consider the material, making sure it’s breathable or warm enough, depending on where you live and the season. Babies may have a feeling of falling, which is why they might suddenly jerk or wave their arms around from a sound sleep.

There are a lot of swaddling methods out there, especially depending on what your baby needs and preferences on how you like to wrap the blanket. Finish by pulling the loose right corner out straight, then wrapping it smoothly and snugly around your baby's front, tucking the end into the top of the blanket around the back of your baby's neck. Material: Cotton | Age Range: Preemie and up (or until first signs of rolling over) | Dimensions: 1.

Knowing the correct size will keep your baby safe as a blanket that’s too big for them may become loose and then a suffocation hazard. With this in mind it’s important to make sure your baby is wearing the right amount of layers and that the room is a safe temperature (the NHS recommends 18C). The Lullaby Trust recommends using swaddles made of thin fabric to avoid overheating, and although most swaddle products will adhere to these standards, it never hurts to check.

Once baby’s no longer being swaddled, you’ll still find plenty of use for this 35- by 39-inch blanket, whether for stroller rides, as a nursing cover, or as a sunshade. If your baby is struggling to fall asleep or keeps waking in the night, the best sleep aids and white noise machines may be useful. Ingeniously, the swaddle can be used with an open leg pouch - perfect for summer borns who benefit from the feeling of swaddled arms but need to keep cool at the same time.

A zipper down the front makes it easy, and you only need to put the baby’s arms into the wings (another simple step).

It can be used as a cot blanket on a warmer day, a blanket for the park, a cot cover for nap time, a muslin for burping and, of course, as a swaddle. Our baby is very picky and will not allow to swaddle her hands in it so Halo swaddle didn’t work for us. Make sure your infant is swaddled securely so they can’t roll, nor can the blanket become loose and create a suffocation risk. It also secures the upper body and keeps the blanket tight which helps prevent your baby from kicking off the blanket. Next, we asked testers to set a timer on their phone to determine how long it took to place their child correctly in the swaddle and wrap them.Made of a polyester and spandex blend, this swaddle’s stretchy fabric has large Velcro closures that make wrapping baby easy.

Instead, you can keep your baby's arms inside the sack or take one or both out, which makes it easy to transition from arms-inside to arms-free sleeping when your baby is ready to roll. Loose blankets, stuffed animals, and lovies can pose a suffocation risk, so you’ll want to keep the crib completely bare.

MFM home tester Aarti, mum of 1 boy loved the "double zip and wide design" which she said, "really helped with nappy changes at night". Recreating the safe comforting feeling of the womb, you prevent the startle reflex waking your baby from their slumber. The wings zip off, so your baby has the option of having one or both arms free while still feeling secure and snug in a sleep sack. If your baby’s environment is hot despite the use of a fan, then it is fine not to swaddle your baby.
