Aden + Anais Essentials Easy Snug Swaddle, Transitions to Arms-Free Wearable Sleeping Bag, Newborn, 0-3 Months, Twinkling Stars Blue, 2 Pack

We got a similar swaddle/sleep bag for our son as a baby shower gift, and he LOVES it but as a newborn he’s always having blowouts so we needed more than just one. I love that you get two of these for cheaper than the other brand we have so now we have a total of three to rotate through. My only complaints are that his lil arms come through when it’s supposed to be able to be sleeveless and also have the ability have the arms inside the swaddle (which is what he loves about the other brand) and when I opened the package, the grey one came stained (which is hard to see in the photo but it was the best I could get). I was able to wash it out but it’s still disappointing and kind of gross that these are new and were stained right out of the package. Nonetheless, it’s still a good product and helps my newborn sleep better at night!

Edit: with the addition of two snaps to each arm hole, this swaddle works fine. It's pretty stretchy so my baby can get his arm through the neck hole sometimes but at least he can't get it through the arm hole.Original: I thought a baby would have to be coordinated to get his arms free, but all it took was newborn wiggling. I'm sure it will be good as an arms-out transition sleep sack, but it did not work for us as an arms-in compression swaddle. 3 stars because it can be used for half the advertised functions but the price point was so reasonable that it is worthwhile for just a single purpose.

These are great as lightweight wearable blankets! My daughter isn't a fan of footie sleepers so I was on the hunt for alternatives and found these. I haven't had any luck having her arms in though, the sleeve caps just aren't solid enough to keep her arms in and she gets frustrated and worked up because there's some give, just not enough to escape. She sleeps well in these with her arms out. Sometimes this is her outer layer over a onesie, sometimes it's the inner layer under a swaddle. Either way it works well.The two-way zipper is great for middle of the night diaper changes but I do find I have to unzip it almost all the way anyway so that's not a huge perk.

I loved the light weight and stretchy material. The design is adorable and the fabric soft. However these would be better described as wearable blankets as opposed to swaddles/sacks. The arm flaps are positioned in such a way that it takes hardly any movement to get their arms completely out. My child wiggled right out within minutes and couldn’t sleep because their arms weren’t secured inside the swaddle itself. Sadly very disappointed and will be returning.

I'm really bummed that these aren't longer. My 7 week old is already too tall for them by the time they arrived! She refuses to sleep with her arms swaddled and there are basically no options for sleep sacks that allow babies to have their arms out until the 3-6 month range. These seemed perfect, but I ordered the 0-3M size and its just too small. I wish they made a bigger size that I could order. They do seem like a good quality product though, hence the 4 star rating.

So, I bought this for the simplicity and versatility and it mostly fits the bill. It is easy to put on during middle of the night diaper changes which is a major plus. The reasons for not giving it 5stars:- there is no way to close the arm holes so my 6 week old can get her arms free in about 5 minutes and there is no way to put her arms back in without taking the whole thing off.- it is made out of tshirt material (cotton knit) so it stretches out after each wear. This means a lot of washing and dryer time to shrink it back down to being tight enough to be effective.

I will start by saying that these are pretty thin. I would not recommend these to use in a cold climate. We live in SoCal and I bought these because I felt other swaddles would make him too hot when it's warmer out since we don't have a/c. But I still wanted him to feel snug. These are soft and stretchy. The only flaw is that the arm flaps really don't do anything to keep baby's arms in. I was ok with him sticking his arms out but if you're wanting something more like a swaddle this is not the way to go.

This item was non functional as a swaddle whatsoever for my baby. I was so confused. You could use it as a blanket maybe, but for a swaddle solution it’s doesn’t work at all. It’s lightweight and loose so the babies arms aren’t really held in tightly. My newborn stuck her arms out the holes in the side immediately.

At 8 pounds this outfit is a tight fit. The babies feet are right at the end. The quality is good. But there is no way this would fit for 12lbs.

This swaddles didn’t keep my little one’s arms in and left him unsettled with a lot of waking. We only used it once because he didn’t like it. Had to use one with arm pouches and he slept so much better. Do not recommend this swaddle if baby likes to be wrapped.

Soft and super cute but extremely strange arm holes...it’s not a swaddle, it’s a thin sleep sack. Baby’s arms pop out within seconds. Doesn’t work for newborns that want to be fully swaddled.

Great sleeping gowns that are super confy and stretch very nicely!

thin material and odd arm holes. Baby’s arms found its way out of the holes every time so defeated the swaddle purpose. Works as a sleep sack only but that wasn’t what I had wanted it for.
