SwaddleMe POD I love this swaddle. It doesn't stretch out like others do. The zippered bottom is great for diaper changes, too." For the most part, parents love the SwaddleMe range. They are saying that it is versatile and soft and that the zipper is a game-changer for nighttime diaper changes. My daughter has twins who never slept well since coming home from the hospital. The first night she tried these, one baby slept seven hours and the other one slept eight hours!" Specs

With no complex folding techniques needed, these swaddles are a doddle to use, thanks to the intuitive velcro fastenings. However, some reviewers say that while the fastenings work great for a newborn, older babies will undo them with vigorous wriggling. It helps to prevent babies from waking themselves through their startle reflex and helps them to feel cozy and safe. This is not as simple as the one zip system of the POD, but it is still easy to use, even for a complete beginner. When testing swaddles we consider a number of factors including ease of use, material, comfort and value for money. It has a simple one zip closing system that makes swaddling your baby super simple. The pod is made from a cotton blend that stretches with your baby’s movements, providing a comfortable and soft experience.

SwaddleMe Cotton Wrap Swaddle Blanket

As long as your baby doesn’t soil or spit up on the swaddler, you don’t have to wash it daily. Once or twice per week is just fine. A traditional swaddle, a cot blanket and a cot cover rolled into one? The Aden + Anais Classic Swaddle is a winner in our book. I found them much softer and much bigger than most other muslins. I also got them from TK Maxx, they had another brand called I think baby style which were similar. I had loads of others from the high street but these two brands were much nicer. DC4 now 7 used two particular A+A ones as comforters, they've almost disintegrated now but the pieces that are left are soft as silk.” (Loved by Mumsnetter Notso) Our verdict My sister-in-law recommended this swaddle when she saw that our baby was pulling her hands out of the hospital swaddles to bring them up to her face. The zipper is more convenient than Velcro fasteners, and the second zipper from the bottom is great for changing a diaper."

The Zippy is super easy to use, and has two layers of wrapping to keep your baby super snug and comfortable. Waist straps go over your baby's middle, then arm wings wrap around your baby and are secured with Velcro. There's plenty of fabric at the bottom, so your baby's legs have freedom to move. We love the zipper at the bottom for easy-access diaper changes. Also, the fabric designs are bright and fun. Heads up I really love this swaddle; it's definitely worth the price. It's easy to use compared with other swaddling blankets I've tried, and I particularly like that the zipper lets you change a diaper without taking your baby out of the swaddle." Specs

As with many decisions around getting your baby to sleep, this is a personal choice and will vary from parent to parent. If you’re looking for the best swaddle for you and your baby, we’ve done the hard work for you - after scouring the Mumsnet Talk forums for authentic recommendations from our network of millions of parents, we've weighed up the pros and cons of a wide range of swaddles, and we've come up with recommendations that we think offer something for everybody. Copper Pearl Baby Swaddle: While the polyester, rayon, and spandex materials are soft, this blanket got torn up in the washing machine. Since it’s priced higher than similar blankets, we think it should be more durable. Do not wrap the SwaddleMe too loose or too tight around your baby. If it is too loose, your baby may be able to wriggle free and run the material’s risk to be a suffocation hazard. If it is too tight, you may impede your baby’s ability to breathe comfortably. The USP here is definitely the inclusion of some eye-catching ‘wings’ built into the top of the swaddle. At first glance, they're maybe more Batman than cute and comfy, but our tester found the movement this provided priceless for soothing her little girl, as it allowed her to sleep in her favourite 'arms-up' position. While not all babies like to sleep in this position, this is the swaddle most highly rated by both our tester and most frequently recommended by Mumsnet users.
