Having already realised with my first two children that grobags were too large for them as new borns i was looking for an alternative for the first few weeks with jess when i spotted this swaddling on amazon and saw that it was made by grow bag which is a company i trust so thought it was worth the high price of £11.99 which i thought was expensive for a blanket i was only going to use for a short time. This is no ordinary blanket hence why it is called a swaddling, for any one who doesnt know swaddling means to wrap you baby with there arms by there side tightly in a blanket as this helps new borns to settle better as it reminds them of being in the womb.

I used this swaddling blanket on my son up until he was six weeks old as I found the conventional grobags too large for my son as he appeared to be lost inside them. Swaddling grobag blankets are T shaped in design so very easy to wrap your child up in as you simply place your newborn on the vertical section and then wrap each end around each of your childs arms.I found that this convenient and simple wrapping mechanism was very effective in comforting my son and helped him to settle down a lot more easily and remain asleep for much longer.The abrupt jerking movements that he used to make in his sleep that would then cause him to wake up were now stopped by ...  Read the complete review

know people will be cussing me for saying this, but I have had really good babies! Right from newborns apart from teething they have been good sleepers (Must take after there dad!) But as a parent you can't help but worry as they sleep! (Well... all the time really!) We were given one of these from a friend who did not like the idea of "swaddling" her baby, but we found it to be great! the idea is that it keeps your baby wrapped up tight, like they would be in the womb, so helps them feel secure. The product itself comes in a choice of very sweet patterns, most of which are pastel coloured (Although I'm pretty sure it can be bought in ...  Read the complete review

As a new(ish) mum I can honestly say I don't think I will be able to get too many blankets. They get used all the time and since it is winter sometimes two at a time. So when I saw these swaddle blankets I decided to get one and try it out. I purchased mine from Mothercare at £19.99 but I have seen them in Boots, Tesco's and other stores for similar prices. They are also available online too and the prices can vary so it is worth having a look around. They come in a number of different designs and patterns, mine is a plain blue one but I have seen neutral ones with polka dots on as well. Although it is not currently recommended (by the NHS) ...  Read the complete review

After 2 weeks of my daughter refusing to go in her moses basket, I tried one of these in desparation. Plenty of friends were convinced that swaddling was just what she needed and that it would solve all of our sleep problems. It didn't! The blanket is a long piece of jersey cotton. They have different patterns now, but we had the older jungle animals design which is cute. It is suitable for 0-3 months, and the product material says to a maximum of 14lbs. I found it fairly easy to wrap my daughter when she was calm and holding still, more difficult if she was crying or fighting it, which she often did. I found that she could get her arms out quite easily, and ...  Read the complete review
