Nested Bean Zen Swaddle® - Gently Weighted Swaddle | Baby 0-6M | TOG 1.5 | 100% Cotton Swaddle | Prevents startles | Aids Self-Soothing | Exceeds Safety Benchmarks | 2 Sizes in 1 | Machine Washable

This swaddle is amazing quality, the weighted aspect really helps soothe and comfort my newborn. Super soft material and holds up well with washing

I bought several swaddles and even the expensive dreamland swaddle (which is so bulky and hard for a tiny baby) and out of all of them, this is the best one! It’s lightly weighted in the right spots and is a great stretchy material. He falls asleep so fast and stays asleep and that wasn’t the case with the others. My only regret is I wasted my money on all the other ones!

Nested Bean 2-in-1 Zen Swaddle Classic - Pearl White My husband and I were convinced our daughter was from the planet Krypton! Her super baby strength broke through every swaddle we could find… until we tried the Nested Bean! I cannot say enough good things about this swaddle.Please take a note from our trials and errors and buy this swaddle!We started out with large muslin swaddles and our little one would break out of them constantly, she was/is very fidgety. We then moved to the velcro swaddles, that worked for a while, but she was still fidgety and eventually broke out of those as well. We found another swaddle that had a "special" compartment for her hands, that also worked for a while, but you guys….our little Houdini broke out of that as well!!! It was terrible. All of us were lacking sleep and becoming more and more on edge. I finally came across the Nested bean and decided to give it a try…Literally, when we tucked her into the Bean she calmed down as soon as the bean weights layed on her chest. My husband and I couldn't believe it!The swaddle is brilliantly made, here is what we liked:*the fabric is very soft and washes very well!*it has wide bands to wrap around your babies body so their hands are comfortably inside*the velcro on the back is strong and offers wide coverage*this is the only swaddle you will need for months , it grows with your baby! It can go from a newborn size (tucking your baby comfortably into small the fabric compartment built right into the swaddle) to a slightly older infant (letting your infants legs free in the sack portion)*the fabric is darted around the neck area so you get a close swaddle around your babies neck, stopping possible hands from breaking free around the face avoiding another daring Houdini escape!!!*the weighted egg "bean" on the chest area is absolute genius! It calms our daughter down and gives her a sense of comfort. We all get to sleep!! Yayyyyyyyy*the bean strips on the sides are also great because our daughter rocks from side to side and the side beans really help as a line of roll over defense.Overall, I wish we had found this swaddle in the beginning.. This is really a great product. I highly recommend this purchase!!

I think this swaddle blanket is a great idea. We purchased this for our third baby when she was a month old. She was a tad small (early) and still is, weighing under 8lbs to 9lbs 5oz during our Zen Swaddler use thus far. The blanket is made of fabulous fabric, lovely design, and weights are as shown and explained. I love the velcro location and strength and that it came with velcro covers (paired strips). Maybe that was for packaging and shipping, but they're great for washing as it keeps the swaddle blanket and other items safe (my non-Zen modern swaddlers do not have this velcro cover, must be velcroed to themselves and washed in fine mesh bags, and still manage to attack other laundry and themselves to cause minor damage). As we're experienced in traditional swaddling, she has room to grow into this blanket a bit, and I don't want to have the velcro sounds disturb her during nighttime changes or adjustments, we just keep the velcro covers on (don't use the velcro for swaddling at this time). Since she's small, and the fabric is stretchy, it wraps around her for a very secure swaddling solution (even without the velcro). She's a pretty calm baby and sleeps well, but does (as she should) prefer to be held and cuddled to sleep. She seems to enjoy being cuddled by the Classic Zen Swaddle blanket for nap times and bedtime.

I really wanted to like this. Like, REALLY. I gave this thing the college try for 3 nights. But it has a few pitfalls.Pros:-Great concept. I love the idea of the gentle weighted touch meant to mimic mom. The weighted parts are not heavy enough that they would pose a concern (as a nurse I feel comfortable discerning risk to my child's airway or ability to breathe). The fact that this swaddle can last for up to 6 months makes it great- the pocket design is lovely and would make it great as a transitional item. It also didn't seem to bunch up or be a bother to my little one that needed the bigger pouch.-The material. Lovely quality material, and extremely soft and cozy even after a wash. The fabric is great.Cons:-First off, the material/cleaning/info tag thingy is SUPER long and scratchy, and I, not thinking it through, didn't catch it until putting my babe in it. She started screaming and upon taking her out realized it was because the tag was bothering her. Even if I cut it off, it would still have a portion in the seam, and would be very uncomfortable rubbing up against her skin. A minor flaw, really. I simply put her in footies.-The material is TOO STRETCHY. I followed the instructions TO THE T. The problem is they say to have the wings fold diagonally (which ALL swaddles should to avoid restricting rise and fall of the chest), but the photos clearly show a cozy baby with the wings covering up to the neck. Even when attempting to do this the fabric becomes too loose at the neck, and allows for her arms to sneak up. Even when folded perfectly diagonal, with no creases, my swaddle breaker was free.The instructions call for "an inch or two" of fabric at the top when you place baby on it, which is simply not correct at all. It creates way too loose of a neckline.I had this thing on tight, I watched the videos, read all instructions and troubleshooting help, and she could still wiggle out. It's simply either too stretchy, or the wings are too long.Overall, a great product for maybe not a champion swaddle breaker. I will be returning this-Anna Pradere

This is the best swaddle for wiggly newborns who always seem to get their hands out of regular swaddles!! Soothes baby right to sleep and is so easy to use. Also washes nicely. Definitely recommend!

So I used this sleep sack for a few nights and it worked great. Then I accidentally dried it in the dryer and the Velcro got all warped and didn’t stick properly which made it sooo easy for my baby to bust out. I had to stop using it for this reason. So my fault of course but I wish the Velcro would have been able to with stand a regular heat setting on the dryer.I found this would have been a great option for a transitional sleep sack. It was(would have been) long enough to keep them in it until 5ish months until I could buy them an arms out one 6+ month sleep sack. Fabric was soft and stretchy and easy enough to use

Started using this on my 8 week old son, and overall did not like the swaddle at all. The material was way too stretchy, to the point that my son could easily get his arms up and out of it when it was wrapped tightly around him. Did not provide that nice snug feeling a swaddle should provide, and got worse with each wear.

My 2.5 month old son started sleeping poorly and was waking up every hour or two at night. After trying a few other things like reflux meds and increasing the angle of his bassinet with no change a friend suggested this swaddle and on night one there was no change, but nights 2 and 3 he slept a 4 hour stretch in each and on the third night an additional 3 hours. This is truly a miracle I highly recommend it.other customer reviews that said the velcro was poor quality are right and it looks like it won't last that long. He is just under 12 lb in his arms can easily wriggle if not swaddled tight enough since it's a large swaddle meant for babies up to 6 months old.

So my 2.5month old was already sleeping 4-5 straight a night, which I think is pretty good but I thought I’d try this product anyways. Didn’t think it was going to work BUT.....Night one: slept 6hrsNight two: slept 7hrsNight three: slept 9hrs!!!!!!Also helped her go to sleep faster.Used to take her 1hr to fall asleep, now she falls asleep in 30 or less.
