Favorite swaddles?

Question

I swaddled my first in muslin blankets and regret every moment of it. I'm due with #2 in October and want to try something different! I'm looking for swaddles that allow proper hip placement (for example, not the cheap swaddleme ones) and also allow for middle of the night diaper changes without unswaddling (again, not the swaddleme swaddles lol). What has been your favorite swaddle for your little ones?

Answer

Any halo sleepsack is nice because it has the zipper on the bottom so you can easily zip it up halfway and change diapers without unswaddling. It’s also nice for transitioning out of the swaddle because you can still Velcro around the belly, making them feel secure without their arms tucked in

Answer

We loved the velcro swaddles!

Answer

Halo sleep sack swaddle. I will NEVER use anything else

Answer

Halo Sleepsacks! They were hospital recommended, and they provided one for us. We liked it so much, we bought extras!

Answer

Nested Bean with the wings that are removable and any swaddle that’s the jersey knit material. It’s much easier to stretch and wrap up baby than the muslin ones

Answer

Can I ask why you regret muslin swaddles? My daughter is a week old and that’s what we’ve been using. We haven’t had any issues but if there’s a reason they aren’t good for baby I’d like to know!
We have a few of the Velcro swaddles, but she’s a premie and they don’t fit her well yet.

Answer

My baby will only sleep in the love to dream swaddles because he likes his hands by his face

Answer

Hands down the miracle blanket!

Answer

I used swaddle designs ultimate swaddles (amazon) for our October baby. I hated the fancy ones with Velcro and zippers. These are just a simple flannel blanket, they stayed tucked snugly, were soft warm and I could use them for other things as well. When it was time to transition out of a swaddle we just wrapped looser until he didn’t need to be swaddled at all. I would unwrap him, during diaper changes and just wrap it back around his arms so he was warm while we cleaned up. I’ll probably never use another fancy swaddle.

Answer

Halo sleep sack is working for my daughter so far, but my son always managed to get his arms out of it! For him I loved the Ollie swaddle! I also use it with my daughter now but rotate with the Halo. I like that the Ollie is one size so you don’t have to buy multiple ones as baby grows. It’s also easy to transition and you may be able to manage middle of the night diaper changes with it. I never did because I always have to unswaddle to wake my kids enough for them to get a full feeding so I change while they’re out of it. The few times I tried to do a diaper change without taking it off I couldn’t quite get good enough access because of the position of the Velcro strips, but I think I could have figured it out with practice. 
I also have one that I like that’s called Miracle blanket! I like that it doesn’t have any Velcro to make noises or get stuck on things in the washing machine.
