Since my baby is very small, the swaddle was a lot looser than the Woombie or the Miracle Blanket. My experience with the Zen Swaddle was mixed. Nested Bean claims that touch promotes growth and alleviates stress and that most mothers who use the swaddle report two added hours of sleep a night. It’s also 100% cotton and feels very soft and premium with an adorable little chick stitched onto the top. It has lightly weighted pouches that hit specific touch points on your baby (the sides and the abdomen) that are supposed to mimic a mother’s touch. The newest and most innovative swaddle to enter the market is the Zen Swaddle from Nested Bean which we received a sample to review. VERDICT on the Woombie Swaddling Blanket: OKAY 4.
(disclosure: we received a sample from the company to review) I also felt a little funny about securing my child in something so tight, particularly with the snap right at her neck. I like the Woombie and it did work to keep Harlow asleep although I felt not as well as the Miracle Blanket.
The Woombie also comes with a version that has legs instead of a pouch, in case you have one of those babies that likes to move their feet. 3) You can unzip it from the bottom as well so you can change a middle of the night diaper with very little disturbance to your baby. 2) There is no way for a baby to get their arms out but they can hold them over their body inside the Woombie (as opposed to their arms being pinned to their sides in the Miracle Blanket) which is supposed to be good for self-comforting. 1) It’s foolproof, the zipper requires no demonstration or instructions.

But the basic principle is that you zip up an ultra tight piece of fabric around the baby and snap it on the top so there is no way they can get out. The Woombie comes in a bunch of different varieties. I also like how the absence of velcro makes it much easier to rewrap or tighten without that velcro sound continually disturbing the baby. As a result, she slept for a much longer stretch of time. The arm pieces kept Harlow’s arms pinned to her sides which made it impossible for her loosen the wrap. But, when you’ve got it all figured out, it is well worth it. It’s a little harder to put this swaddling blanket on (especially if you are trying to put a baby to bed that is already sleeping) because you have to lift the baby’s butt about four times to secure different pieces of fabric underneath. It also has two pieces of fabric on the inside to secure the baby’s arms to her side. The Miracle Blanket Swaddler has no velcro or zippers, just one long piece of fabric that you wrap continually over the baby’s body. Harlow was easily able to wrangle her arms out (she’s a mini Houdini, this one) and the swaddle did not succeed in keeping her asleep. I like that the fleece offers extra warmth but the simplicity of the swaddle didn’t create a space that was snug enough for my baby. It’s very easy to put on, especially if you are one of those people that can’t wrap a regular swaddle for your life (I’m talking to my husband). The top piece is secured with two velcro tabs. We got a fleece SwaddleMe which is basically a big pouch with two pieces of fabric that cross in front of the baby’s body. This time I was going to bring in the big guns- swaddles with velcro, zippers and made of steel! Well, maybe not steel. With my first, I used basic muslin swaddles that I wrapped myself. When I had my second a couple of months ago, I wasn’t going to make the same mistake. If you make it even harder for your baby to move (moving has the potential of waking the baby and making it harder for them to fall back asleep on their own), I can practically guarantee, your baby will sleep sounder. It is now my belief that if you think your baby doesn’t like being swaddled, you are probably just not swaddling ENOUGH. I did as I was told and my baby slept longer that night than she had in months. I told her we stopped because my baby doesn’t like it. She asked what I was using for a swaddle. Then a few months later, I mentioned to a friend that my baby doesn’t sleep.
And we struggled to get her to sleep from that point forward. When my first daughter was an infant, we swaddled her in the beginning but she wrangled her way out of that thing and we decided that she didn’t like it. I know there are people out there who think their babies don’t like being swaddled.
