The Gro Company Hip Healthy Swaddle, Up and Away

Product Information

My daughter Lilyjust turned five months and I had accepted that fact that sleeping is just not one of her strong points. She’s cute. She’s generally happy. But she wakes up four times every night and that’s on a good night. Plus, the Grobag box features a guide on what to dress baby in, depending on your room’s temperature. What if you don’t know the room’s temperature? The Gro Company thought of that too as each swaddle also comes with a handy room thermometer.

Since using the Newborn Swaddle Grobag, Ford is now sleeping through the night – 7 to 8 solid hours. As you can imagine, Dana is pretty happy (and has fewer dark circles under her eyes!). The Groswaddle is our traditional wrap, a shaped swaddle with exactly the right amount of fabric for a safe swaddle – with no risk of overwrapping. You can use it to swaddle your baby arms in or arms out, by using different wrapping techniques. It is super easy to use, feels soft and is cute to boot. But would that make any difference to our nightly routine? It would seem so! From two hour wake-ups to SIX hours straight sleep. Hurray! Once your baby is happy with under-arm swaddling and wants to move around a little more, this is an ideal time to start using a Grobag Baby Sleep Bag. You can start using a Grobag Baby Sleep Bag when your baby weighs 4kg (8.8lbs).

My NON SLEEPING baby is now going five to six hours at night. Sure, it’s not ‘sleeping through’ but, hey, it’s better than nothing. And, after five long months of sleeping in 1-2 hour increments, I’ll happily take it!” Many parents find that swaddling baby can bring comfort, reduce crying and encourage a more settled night’s sleep. However, it’s important to swaddle properly to ensure the baby’s health and safety. According to the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, improper swaddling can lead to hip dysplasia.

The Swaddle Grobag Newborn Plus (more about the sizes down below) was a great fit for my little girl and felt tight and secure. But she was also freely able to move, which is her favourite thing to do right now.But the one thing I’ve learned on this baby journey is that no two babies are the same. The Grobag is a sanity saver for me but what about for other mums? Designed to keep baby snug and secure and reduce the risk of night wakings, it also comes with heaps of recommendations from other mums and is considered ‘hip healthy’ by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.

In a very warm bedroom, you could use the Groswaddle with no clothing underneath. If the bedroom is hot (over 75°F/ 24°C), try to cool it down, and if this isn’t possible then it may be better to leave baby out of the swaddle until it is cooler. Keen to find out if the Swaddle Grobag might help your little one get a safe (and hopefully longer) night’s sleep?The convenience of using the Grobag is worth the investment. Plus, the quality of the fabric is amazing, the kind you can hand down to the next baby. If we have a third child (a HUGE if), we will definitely use the Grobag!” Do not use any additional blankets, sheets or other bedding with the Groswaddle. Adjust baby’s clothing underneath if you feel your baby is too warm or too coo You can machine wash your Groswaddle at 104°F/40°C. Hang it out to dry or tumble dry on a low setting. We have designed our Grosswaddles to allow for up to 5% shrinkage. If your child has any allergies and you wish to wash your Groswaddle at 140°F/60°C, you should allow for a little more shrinkage.
