About this deal

This HALO swaddle feels warm and cozy with its 100% polyester micro-fleece. But because the material may be too warm in the summer, we didn’t give it a 5 out of 5 for comfort. If that’s a concern, the company also sells a cotton version. (To tell how warm a swaddle is, look for its thermal overall grade or TOG rating to give you an idea of what temperatures they work best in. For example, the micro-fleece swaddle has a 3.0 TOG rating, ideal for room temperatures of 64-68 degrees.) The material also held up well after multiple washes and never lost its durability. A two-way zipper makes late-night diaper changes a breeze, while the zipper covers at the top and bottom prevent the fasteners from irritating or scratching skin. Love2dream suits. I buy them as presents for any friend with a new baby, they are amazing…” (Recommended by Mumsnetter SW1amp)

As well as researching modern baby must-haves like the best baby monitors and the best travel cots, at Mumsnet we know the importance of tried and tested methods our members swear by for better sleep, like swaddling. Getting a good nights’ sleep is key for both you and your baby, especially in those early weeks and months. If you’re swaddling your baby and you think it may be causing difficulties with breastfeeding, it might help to stop swaddling or reduce the amount of time your baby is swaddled. Ask your health visitor or midwife for advice if you’re not sure. How Long Should Babies Be Swaddled?Babies have a ‘startle reflex’, an instinctive movement that frequently wakes them up throughout the night. Swaddling your baby involves wrapping them up so that their arms are held close to their body, and so they're is unable to move and ‘startle’ themselves awake. This often means they can sleep longer and more deeply, in turn allowing you a little extra rest. Kitase Y, Sato Y, Takahashi H, Shimizu M, Ishikawa C, Yamamoto H, Hayakawa M. (2017) A new type of swaddling clothing improved development of preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units. Early Hum Dev.

He then transitioned easily to a sleeping bag.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter Captainj1) Our verdict

Swaddle blankets are absolutely safe for baby to sleep in. You will probably see your baby first swaddled in a blanket while at the hospital, where you’ll learn how to properly swaddle. Once you get home, you can perfect your swaddle technique to promote sleep and help baby calm down if they’re upset.

Swaddling has been scientifically proven to soothe upset babies because it mimics pressure similar to the pressure felt in their mother’s womb," Ashton McCutchen, a certified pediatric sleep consultant and pediatric registered nurse, tells Verywell Family. "Swaddling also helps your baby control their startle reflex, which is what causes their arms and legs to jolt when startled by noise or movement." Grab the (baby’s) right corner of the blanket and wrap it around the left side of their body, under the armpit. The practice of swaddling has been used in cultures throughout the world for thousands of years. The best swaddles will wrap your baby up in a way that mimics the womb, creating a warm, safe feeling for your baby, which encourages them to sleep for longer in their crib.

Remove any quilts, bumpers, stuffed animals, pillows, or blankets from the sleep space. Same goes with wedges and baby positioners. A tight-fitting sheet is all baby needs. Our tester had no issues putting this on their child, scoring the swaddle 5 out of 5 for ease of use. A zipper down the front makes it easy, and you only need to put the baby’s arms into the wings (another simple step). Made with 100% cotton muslin, our tester rated it for its softness and breathability. But by far and away the biggest selling point for this swaddle is the multiple uses it has. 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. Eline L.
