I saw this product on Instagram and I wanted to give it a try and the first night my baby slept a couple more hours longer. It’s been a week and she slept 8 hrs last night! I’m so thankful because now that we have three kids I need all the sleep I can get and this swaddle allows me to get more rest at night. Thank you!!
Jessica H.
Highly recommend to any parent my 1 month old sleeps 4-5 hour stretches at night.
Kaci
My son sleeps 8 hours now! I definitely recommend this to anyone needing more sleep.
Nicole F.
My 6 week old baby girl loves being swaddled in her Zen swaddle. She seems so comfy and snuggled and has started sleeping several hours at night since we got it! Last night she slept 8!!!
M L.
My LO is 7 weeks old and would wake up every time I set him down at night... he had to basically sleep in my arms if I wanted to get any sleep! So I decided to try the Zen Swaddle and he slept 7 straight hours in his bassinet the first night! Love this swaddle, glad I didn’t wait longer to try it
Erin C.
What dreams are made of! My little one loves it and so do we!
Heidi R.
I love the swaddle but my baby is quite strong and is pushing the weighted bean sack down overnight to his belly. It helps him fall asleep faster, and perhaps he's staying asleep longer, but once the little sack gets pushed down he has to be reswaddled which upsets him. I really like the halo sleep sacks because they have the zippered body suits with the swaddle straps on top. I really wish there was a product like that from you. Or at least a way to secure the bean sack up on his chest somehow.
Lexi V.
Good swaddle! Not sure if it actually makes our little one sleep better, but if not it’s okay too because the swaddle itself is nice and soft and she isn’t able to break free from it (usually!).
Nicole D.
Well made, super soft swaddle. The options to include with/out arms down are great. I think that this helps my little one a bit, but it’s not a miracle worker. You need to implement other healthy sleep habits for the whole package. Overall I’m pleased and may upgrade to the sleep sack with a bit more time testing.
Amy M.
My little one seems to love it but I think the bottom should have a zipper or Velcro since undoing her swaddle for a diaper change is not ideal! I actually cut hers open and attached Velcro!
Raluca G.
My baby was awake all night until we put on the Zen Swaddle. I woke up 2 hours after and I checked on my baby to make sure she’s ok since she was still in the same position I left her after I swaddled her. She was perfect and content in her new “cocoon” ! Whoever came up with this idea is a genius. Thank you!!!
Karla B.
My son is 7 weeks old and we have used it for about a week and haven't noticed a difference yet. We have a hard time with daytime naps.
Kait H.
Love it- other swaddles similar are too big in her legs and having the smaller pocket option is perfect. It’s so quick to put on during the night and limits disruption after feedings.
Maggie E.
Haven’t seen a difference, it’s been over two weeks.
Emilee V.
Best swaddle ever!!
Ina B.
I gave this to my daughter for her new baby girl that was born 1/23/2020 she’ll still waiting to hear from her doctor she is concerned with her umbilical cord still on & I told her to at least try!
Lorraine D.
I purchased as a gift for a baby shower so I’ll have to wait until the baby arrives to see how it works. But looks great!
Kelly B.
Would post a photo but husband and I are keeping our daughter off of the internet. :)
This swaddle saved our sleep. Our baby girl had the hardest time going to sleep. She would be out cold in our arms but the minute we transferred her into the bassinet while wearing her halo swaddle she would immediately wake up and not go back to sleep. We would spend 1.5-2 hours just getting her back down.
We bought the Zen Swaddle hoping for the best and let me tell you-we got it. She was asleep within 10 minutes our first night. Thank you, Nested Bean. ❤️
Katie R.
The first night we used the nested bean zen swaddle our LO slept for 6 hours straight (prior he was getting up every 3-4 hours). It’s been close to two weeks and now he is sleeping up to 8 hours a night! This has been a godsend!
KRISTEN C.
Our baby loves it! Sleeps consistently 5+ hour stretches a night since we have had it!
Katelyn B.
I bought this swaddle in the hopes it would help my daughter during nap time. She’s already a great nighttime sleeper but her naps weren’t lasting more then 30 minutes for about a week prior to purchasing the swaddle. Unfortunately this swaddle has not done much to increase the length of my daughters naps since we started using it almost 2 weeks ago. The swaddle is great quality and we still use it at naps and bedtime
Halee S.
Very nice material and well made. Just didn’t help my little one sleep any better.
Natalie D.
Day 2 and my baby has gone from me sitting with him for the second half hour of his naps to keep him asleep and settled to not needing any assistance from me, yay I can get on with getting other things done now while he sleeps instead of watching over and constantly re settling him.
Ashleigh B.
I absolutely love this product!! My son is sleeping 6-8 hours a night!! I would recommend this to all mommas who are struggling with getting their little one to sleep better. My son has some tummy issues and suffers from colic and reflux. Once I put this on him I instantly saw a change! The only thing I regret is not having this product with my first two kids!
GLORIA S.
Good concept, but didn’t work for my little one. It would be great if the swaddlers had a zipper at the bottom so you don’t have to peel awful-loud Velcro during diaper changes in the middle of the night
Maria L.
After the first day of using this swaddle, I noticed a awesome improvement in my LO sleep. No more waking up during the middle of the night and having to bring him into my bed.
Brooke B.
I received the swaddle and was very excited and hopeful for more sleep for my almost 3 month old. We’ve been using it for a few weeks now and sometimes I think it has helped her fall asleep but we are still struggling with staying asleep. We are almost a week into incorporating dream feeding along with the swaddle and nothing has changed. It is a good quality swaddle but I was hoping for more results. But I won’t give up yet!
Marisa J.
Our daughter likes her swaddle enough.. I wouldn’t say she likes this one more than her old ones she grew out of (swaddleme) but I will say I like the Velcro on these much better! I’m not sure if the weighted beans do much to calm or keep her asleep, but she’s a good sleeper and we are overall happy with our purchase!
Riley B.
This swaddle works great and helps my baby sleep better, but after only a few weeks it’s already torn along the Velcro despite following the washing/care instructions. Very disappointed in quality.
Tiffanie N.
Quality material but have to swaddle tighter than I thought as he has been able to wiggle arms out but we’re about to move to one without putting arms in anyways so that could also be why.
Tiffanie N.
Quality material. My baby does sleep longer since being in this swaddle. However we do have to wrap pretty tight as he always figures out a way to get arms out easier than the halo sacks.
Melanie D.
Although I love the material and idea of this swaddle, our son was able to easily get out of it. We have other swaddles that he still hasn’t been able to get out of so not sure if we are doing something wrong.
M C.
Our little man goes down easier for nap time and seems to be able to put himself back to sleep. Highly recommend the swaddle. We also purchased the sleep sack for when he is older.
Ma Theresa A.
Loved your products! I have been giving them as gifts.
Yovanna B.
Nice material, super soft. My little one kept braking out of the swaddle regardless of how tight I made it. If your little one isn't one to fight the swaddle this would be great, but if your babe is like mine this might not work for you.
Kristen H.
After reading all the reviews that were so positive I thought this would fix our night time! Unfortunately, this swaddle did not keep my baby swaddled. She would get one arm or both arms out routinely :-( And, I feel like the weighted areas did not really change things for her, did not help calm or soothe her as I was hoping would happen. But, not all babies are the same, and ours is just a little Houdini :-) I was willing to try it!
Carrie B.
My little man is 2 months old. I bought the swaddle and started using it about a week ago. Before this swaddle, he slept ok. He’d wake up every 2-3 hours to nurse some nights. And maybe one night a week he’d sleep 5-6 hours straight. Since wearing the Zen Swaddle, he’s had more of the long stretches of sleep. In fact, 6 out of 7 nights have been 5-6+ hours straight. The material is soft and feel super well made. However, I find it difficult to get him in the swaddle just right. Maybe it’s because he’s so squirmy, but it seems like there’s so many flaps and pieces to handle. I have several different brands of swaddles I’ve been using, and don’t have a problem getting him wrapped in those. And, I don’t like that I have to take him completely out of it in the middle of the night to change his diaper which makes it that much more difficult to get him back in it in the dark and half aslee. I’ll probably upgrade to a Zen One at some point, but he still loves to be swaddled tight, so I’ll keep using this one for a while. Overall, I recommend it. Hopefully we’ll get better at using it with practice.
Erin P.
I think the sleeping after 3 days is a little misleading as that was not the case. Super cute though!!
Chelsea N.
This was a game changer for our twins! I will say, like the product says, it may take a couple nights for your baby to get used to it. I feel like by night 3 they went to sleep so much faster and slept longer. Within a week they will fall asleep within minutes and they sleep 5-6 hour stretches now! Could be coincidence... but I really think this swaddle has helped them so much!!
Krystealle F.
My baby is able to get her hands out.
Amanda K.
My 6 month old son was only sleeping for 2-3 hours before waking up and he would only take a nap in my arms. The first day we used the swaddle i was able to put him down for a nap in his own bed and he slept for 2 hours! The night was harder on him, he didn't want to be wrapped and he woke up alot but the next night was a little better and by the 3rd night he slept for 5-6 hours! Now when i put the swaddle on him he knows it's time to settle down for a snooze. I still have to rock him to sleep but it doesnt take long and he sleeps much better. I love this and am going to buy the sleep sack when he is older.
Linda Z.
Helped my little one sleep longer stretches at night. You can swaddle tight without them getting out of it.
Sofi S.
My daughter has the worst colic. From 8pm to 1 am she would scream and cry and nothing I did would console her. I tried shushing and swinging. I tried white noise and putting her on the dryer and turning the dryer on. I tried the mamaroo, running the vacuum. Nothing at all worked. Finally out of desperation I ordered this sleep sack and that very first night she slept straight through the witching hour. It has been a miracle and I will definitely be ordering more and telling everyone about it!
Brittney K.
Its a great product, and the weight is perfect.
Stephanie L.
Our baby girl was sleeping only 45 minutes at a time and the nights were miserable; we were exhausted. Within the first few nights of using the nested bean swaddle she began sleeping 3-4 hour stretches!!! Thank you!!!
Amysta N.
I like the swaddle but it honestly didn’t stand out from any other swaddle to me.
Jonathan K.
Swaddle is very easy to wrap and keeps the baby asleep.
Katia G.
The baby is two months old and sleeps so much better with this swaddle! I just love it.
Kristin E.
Been using it for over a week and hasnt improved sleep yet my only complaint is that the panel that has the weighted section in it moves and I think I would like it better if it would Velcro in place instead of moving. It often moves up and covers his mouth while sleeping
Angela W.
This Swaddle change our life! I was very skeptical when I saw the adds from the product. I have to confess I was very desperate after three months of not sleeping with my newborn baby. I was trying to get into a routine when I saw this swaddle and I didn’t hesitate to try it. I have to say that my baby fought when I was wrapping him for the first time, but when I finally finish wrapping the blanket around him, he finally felt sleep on his own without crying or anything. I had use the blanket now for over a month and not just my baby love it and he gets excited it when I start wrapping him at night, he now sleep thought the whole night!!!!!!! I am very very thankful for this product and yes definitely everyone should give it a try.
Megan D.
She sleeps amazing and now so do I, at only 3 weeks old!
Nataliya K.
Didn't see a difference at all. The sticky part is very bad doesn't hold. Not worth the money.
melissa b.
My baby girl sleeps better in this swaddle. The weight that is on her chest mimics my hand that I always lay on her chest before bed or a nap. I might even by a second swaddle I like it so much :)
Melissa
Mary C.
The first night we used the zen swaddle my daughter finally slept the 2-3 hour stretches between feedings, so I was very hopeful it would continue to work. Unfortunately, the success was short lived and she went back to only sleeping about 30 minutes every night in her bassinet before waking. Even though it has not kept her sleeping through the night, I do really like the design and feel of the swaddle much more than any other o w we have used, and she seems very comfortable in it so I will continue to use it and hope as she gets older that her sleeping patterns get better.
Jillian K.
My sister recommended this product to us after I told her that our baby was fussy and didn’t sleep well. I immediately ordered the swaddle and loved it ever since. I can tell it makes our baby feel safe and secure. I’d recommend anyone give these products a try!
Cara C.
My 2.5 month old was not sleeping at night. We were up 6+ times a night which caused him to be fussy during the day because he was so exhausted. I purchased all the things to help and NOTHING worked until our Nested Bean swaddle came in! He sleeps soundly & is well rested for the day. If we get up it’s only once a night. This working mama is thankful for Nested Bean!
Katelyn M.
LOVE IT! My little girl can’t sleep without it.. literally. Just had to buy three more!
Shamaa B.
I love this swaddle so much that I’ve told my new mom friends about it and they live it too! The only thing I wish it had was a way to change her diaper without taking off the whole swaddle at 4am. But other than that, it’s great. She immediately calms down when I put it on her and she is sleeping so much better
Chelsea B.
I had ordered the powered blue but received the gray one. Would you consider giving me a coupon for a future purchase of another one?
Kayla B.
I wouldn't say this swaddle works for the intended reason--the weighted benefits of it, but it is my favorite swaddle of the blanket, traditional velcro and Halo swaddles I've tried. I love the material of the blanket. It is very cool to the touch and stretchy. My hot baby does great in the normal swaddle wearing a short sleeve onsie underneath. In the morning when he is a little gasy but still sleeping, this swaddle works best for letting him even pass the gas by himself. The aforementioned swaddle restrict too much (the Halo is fine for gas passing, but is too hot). I will definitely be getting more of these swaddles when we have future kids. By far my favorite! If the weighted part seemed to make a difference in his quality of sleep, I would rank a 5...all babies are different! Definitely worth it for the other benefits.
Kim K.
Ordering my 2nd one now so we have a backup when this one is in the wash!
Megan H.
Our 2mo old is rocking the sleep in his zen swaddle! Thanks so much for this genius invention. His first stretch of sleep each night (in his crib, in his room) lasts 4-6 hours. Amen!!!!!
Deborah M.
Wasn't the miracle swaddle it was made out to be. It's a swaddle but didn't notice any longer sleep time whatsoever, if anything, it was less. Sorry. I was really hoping to love this
Heather S.
Our babygirl is about to be 3 months, so we are getting her used to having an arm out for an easier transition to the sleep sack in the future! So far she sleeps for an hour at nap time, and a whole 10-12 hours at night (WITHOUT waking up)! Definitely love the Nested Bean products! The velcro stays attached, and the fabric quality is very soft and breathable!
Jennifer B.
I was excited to get this swaddle because my baby has struggled with falling asleep outside of someone holding him.. however I am not as pleased as I hoped to be.
The fabric is very stretchy which doesnt allow for a tight swaddle and my baby always ends up with it up around his face from moving his arms around.
I’m hoping that we will see some sleep improvement soon.
Abby F.
She sleep longer periods of time, it’s great.
Terri C.
I love this swaddle. My little guy has always gone down easier with the reassurance of my touch so I knew Nested Bean was the right choice for us. Now, as soon as I swaddle him, he falls asleep in half the amount of time it took prior to getting the swaddle and stays asleep longer! As soon as he outgrows this I’ll be purchasing the sack.
Falen G.
I didn’t want to write anything bad because every baby is different, and it just didn’t work for mine. Even when tightly swaddled, she easily got her arms out. It actually caused her to wake up more than she was before using this swaddle. I love the idea though. Maybe a fleece material would work better for a baby like mine.
Rebekah H.
Has helped some but disappointed there is already a small hole near seam. Only had it a month.
Jessica K.
Hi, my baby is now three months. I bought this sack a few weeks ago and used it three consecutive nights. The concept Is great, but she always manages to sneak one or two arms out. I do the wrap up tight but she still can fight through it. This makes it difficult to want to continue to use as I spend a few hours in the morning trying to get her back to sleep as she is hitting herself with her hand or sucking on her fingers.
I am not satisfied with the fact that she can escape. I would not recommend to anyone who has a similar type of baby.
Katie G.
With my first baby, she slept like a dream from day one, so I was in for a huge shock when my second baby didn’t seem to sleep at all. She would only sleep if she was being held and she’d stay awake from 12am to 4am and as soon as she fell asleep, my oldest would wake up for the day. I was desperate and drinking my weight in coffee every day just to survive. So I ordered the Nested Bean Swaddle. It arrived and I tried it that very night. Miraculously, as soon as she was swaddled, she fell asleep in her own bed for the very first tome and slept SIX HOURS. I seriously felt like a new woman. She is now 4 months old and she sleeps about 8 hours every night before waking to feed. This product has been an absolute lifesaver and will forever be my go-to baby shower gift for any new mom!
Jennafer M.
The swaddle works great to keep my little’s arms in. She is sleeping 6-hour stretches at night!! Would definitely recommend this.
Hannah B.
Don’t waist your time with this one. Just get the zen one instead.
This classic swaddle doesn’t fit very well, my babies arms got out of it every time, and it was incredibly frustrating. She was 3 months old and very large for her age so it shouldn’t have been so loose on her but it was. However we returned it and got the zen one and aren’t looking back. The zen one has helped with our babies sleep so much and fits much better.
Hana W.
Love these swaddles! Definitely need to watch the tutorial on how to do it correctly, but once out on correctly it’s nice and snug! My favorite part is that the bottom area is nice and roomy so it’s safe for the hips!
Nina F.
I bought this for my new great granddaughter which is due on 12/31. It looks great but until the baby is here I cant comment if it works. Will let you know.
Christine S.
Overall, I like the concept of the swaddle but the material is so flexible that my babies arms don’t stay in place and he ends up uncomfortable.
Ann M.
Baby does sleep better
Colleen B.
I was really excited to try this out, but sadly it didn't work well for us. Maybe our little one is getting too big for the swaddle (she's 2 months) but she kicks free of the flap that has the weighted part in it, so her legs are bare. The upper part was difficult to swaddle well in a way that she couldn't wrangle an arm out, too. I'm thinking of trying the sleep sack instead, but this swaddle was sadly not a good fit for us.
Marie B.
I bought the nested bean swaddle off my registry after I had my baby showers because I saw great reviews on it we didn’t use it until our daughter was 2 months old before the swaddle she was an okay sleeper but never slept throughout more than 2 hours at a time after the swaddle we had to wake her up to eat throughout the night she’s now 4 months old and the doctor said it was okay for her to sleep as long as she wanted throughout the night and now she is sleeping 8-10 hours at a time only occasionally waking up around 4:30 because she’s hungry but we couldn’t be happier in our purchase
Deneii N.
My little boy loves the wraps he sleeps so much better now and for longer periods!! Love love love this product
Chasity G.
We have been having trouble with my 2 month old grandson. We bought the swaddler and he has been sleeping through the night. We now have made several purchases and will continue to do so.
Madeline S.
We were somewhat skeptical when we initially purchased the weighted swaddled, but it was one of the best baby purchases we made! We use it literally every night. Our baby sleeps so much better with it and can go for longer stretches of time. He used to wake himself up constantly from wiggling or the startle reflex, and struggled to put himself back to sleep. Not any more. He only wakes up to eat or for a diaper change during the night now. Love this product and will be buying another one and recommending it to all other parent friends
Emilee L.
This swaddle is a miracle worker! She had the hardest time sleeping without me holding her and this weighted swaddle helped her sleep independently after first use. Love this!!
Sarah G.
Like the idea but wish there was an option to buy a smaller size. The swaddle is huge on my 8 week old so it makes it difficult to actually swaddle her tightly enough
Samantha P.
This is the best thing ever my little one sleeps about 4 hours and is just over a month old
Donna C.
Bought it for my grandbaby who is due Dec. 10th this year. But, at the baby shower many other young mothers were saying they have one for their babies and it's the best thing they got for their babies. I have ordered both the newborn- six months and the six months- fifteen months. We're excited to see how our little one likes hers.
Judy W.
Love it. Bought it for my granddaughter and I have to say it really works. I felt like it worked the first time I tried it. She slept longer thank she did before, which is why I bought it. She jerks a lot in her sleep so now I see less movements and more sleep.
Anna H.
My boy has had alot of struggles in his first month. Lots of challenges causing lots of discomfort. I thought I'd never get him to sleep for more then 15 minutes at a time. Then I bought this and it made a difference immediately! He sleeps SO WELL. Really, the gift of a sleeping baby is priceless. I am so grateful.
Alexandra G.
Our baby girl sleeps so much better with this swaddle! Has been a great help to this momma as I’m getting more sleep than before!
Jenny B.
I like and appreciate the concept of a weighted swaddle, and I think the weighted part has been helpful to keep our baby asleep once we get her to sleep.
However, the swaddle itself is not excellent in design. You have to have it so tight, and if it’s not just tight enough, then the baby’s neck/lower face is swimming in it halfway through the night. I wish there were 1-2 additional pockets in addition to the newborn pocket to insert baby’s feet. Once baby grows out of the newborn pocket, then the rest of the sack is too big to get a proper swaddle (baby slips into the swaddle when upright for burping or rocking).
Michael O.
We purchased our Zen Swaddle for our 5 week old and have tried this on our son for the past 12 days. The swaddle itself is of great quality and can stay on tight as long you wrap it well enough. It can get tight around the neck so you want to be careful with that. We recorded our kids sleep in our BabyConnect app and reviewing his sleep logs, I can't really say for sure the Zen is massively improving our kids sleep time the way we wanted it to. He still sleeps an average length of 2:30-2:50 hrs at a time and prior to the Zen, it was about 10-20 minutes less per interval . What the Zen is contributing to is the additional of one more hour of sleep per day, going from 13 hrs/day to around 14 hrs/day.
In some ways, this data helps confirm this company's claim about helping the baby sleep more but I think continued monitoring is needed. On some nights, I used a normal wrap swaddle and our son slept the same amount as our Zen. Kids are weird. I give our Zen Swaddle 3 stars based on our experience with it so far.
Nicole P.
My little girl was born August 3. She’s never been a good sleeper, and when she turned 3 month old and nothing was getting better, I got desperate. I ordered the Zen Swaddle, because of the 30 day return policy, just in case. By the third night of using it, she would fall asleep in my arms and when I’d put her down, she’d stir for about 5 seconds and be back asleep. That never happened before using the Zen Swaddle! And now she’s going 5 hour stretches, when she used to go 2-3. I noticed she’d sleep better with her arms out, so that’s what we’ve been doing for a few weeks. I’m so happy with it! I’ll for sure be buying the sleep sack when she starts rolling over.
Dallas L.
Bought this as a baby shower gift because we loved it so much!
Nathan R.
Absolutely love the swaddle blanket. Our daughter is 8 weeks old and sleeping 5-6h stretches. The smart 2 pocket design allowed us to get the maximum use size wise.The lightly weighted covering mimic us touching her, ingenious!! Thank you nested bean :)
Natalie M.
Nice swaddle but the weight didn’t seem to help my daughter sleep.
Jordyn S.
My little man self soothes much easier with this swaddle! Takes a little getting used to for him but his sleep has improved!
Kim M.
My son will fall asleep on his own now!
Leslie B.
Nested bean was perfect for when he was tiny because of the pocket insert and transitioned straight to when he grew! We noticed he immediately would calm down when put into the swaddle and it all came together very nicely. We did notice that when our son would get very mad he was able to kick the middle part down so it wasn’t snug. We fixed this by tucking it under on the sides of his body. Such cute patterns and very well made!
