Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We have a somewhat 'high needs' little guy (8 weeks). We tried swaddling with his receiving blankets and then the velcro Swaddle Me blankets - he eventually busted out of all of them. However, he simply was NOT sleeping without being swaddled. We had purchased the book and DVD of "The Happiest Baby on the Block" (LOVE IT!) and knew that swaddling was helping, but were frustrated having to reswaddle him in the middle of the night. I started searching online and found the Woombies. I ordered and original and a Leggie (since, with reflux, our little guy sleeps in his swing so he is elevated and so he has movement to keep him asleep). These have not been the miracle "my baby now sleeps through the night the minute after I zipped him in" item that some parents found it to be. However, he hasn't busted out yet and he loves being able to move his arms some. It makes nursing at 2am interesting because he can move his arms up under his chin and sometimes blocks his mouth and I have to move his little hands away, but it does keep him more confined than open sleeping and last night, for the first time (he's had and worn the Woombie about a week) he slept a 5 hour stretch! Not just because of the Woombie, but it did accomplish the swaddling goal to an extent. His sleep has improved a lot because of us treating his reflux we found out about 2 or so weeks ago. We are still getting a Miracle Blanket for a more true swaddle, but the Woombie is a great product and I think will be a nice transition item when we move from true swaddling to open sleeping. Also, both the Woombies I got through Amazon (an original in Tahiti and a Leggie in green) had snap closures under the chin, so no velcro. They are soft and haven't hurt my baby at all. They are very snuggly and do keep him cozy and cool overnight. I would buy them again. I gave 3 stars simply because some of the reviews through the Woombie website make it sound like the minute you zip your child up their sleep struggles are gone - not our experience. But it is a nice product. I would say it is a semi-swaddler, not a full swaddle since it is stretchy and arms can move more.
