Swaddle UP- 50/50- Gray Stripe- Medium 13.2- 18.7 lbs

We had bought a gro-snug to help our little one sleep as he kept startling himself awake when asleep under blankets. He hated being put down and a free arm would startle him awake at night. The gro-snug was great until he was far too long to sleep in it. After a week of awful sleep (for all of us), we found these. This is the "mid-stage" from Love to Dream. The first stage is like a gro-snug. The 50/50 is the missing piece for the Gro-company as far as I'm concerned. The materials are soft and warm, and a really useful guide of what to wear is on the back of the packaging. You put your baby's arms into the top sections which are "locked-in" and prevent them from flapping around. There is a double zip so you can check the nappy without freeing the hands. The body section is snuggly but freedom for the legs, almost like being swaddled but with some room to grow. There is a transition period for your little one as you can zip off each hand cuff to get them ready for a sleep bag. Since moving our little one into these, he's slept far longer than before and doesn't startle himself awake, and we've even managed to get some better sleep ourselves as parents. Just to wait for the startle (moro) reflex to go and we can get him transitioned to the next stage. If you struggle with sleep in your household, give one of these as try. If you get a few weeks of good sleep because of it you'll consider the £30 odd a fantastic investment for your own well-being!

¡Fantástico! Una de las mejores compras que hemos hecho para nuestra hija. Parece caro pero nosotros lo hemos usado cada día deade que lo compramos y nuestra hija duerme fenomenal con él. Es ligero, y se coge a su cuerpo dándole seguridad pero al mismo tiempo es elástico así que se puede mover sin problema. Se lava en la lavadora y se puede meter en la secadora. ¡Lo complicado ahora es la transición a dormir sin él!

Lo usamos como transición y nos ha ido bien. Primero quitamos una ala y tras unos días la otra.

If I was to choose the baby product that was most essential for us, I think it would be this (and maybe even more so the first version - SwaddleUP). We had a number of good baby things, but this was essential for us. I had tried so many swaddles: Hailo, Swaddleme, normal blankets etc etc. This is such a unique concept and it made all the difference for our little one. The others were always coming undone at some stage in the night, or the repositioning after nappy changes was waking her (velcro seems to be a bad idea on swaddles). The SwaddleUP doesn't come undone. I could feed her in it, change her nappy without waking her because of the 2 way zip and generally resettle her without disturbing the swaddle. Obviously the most unique feature is the position of the arms. She loved it. It was clear that it was a more natural position for her (although it looked a little funny). The 50/50 for transition is just another clever step to help with moving away from the swaddle. We continued to use this as a growbag (without the wings) until she was 11 months old (she is a small baby though). This was a product that was a sleep saver!

Best swaddle we’ve tried helps our baby boy sleep longer and more peacefully 1000% recommend especially if baby height percentile is higher than most
