Moro reflex woke him up often and he needed my hand over his arm/shoulder to help him sleep. This swaddle helps him sleep without being held during the night and he sleeps a little longer between feedings. I really wasn’t expecting it to help but was desperate.

These swaddles are AMAZING!!!! Our 2 month old went from sleeping 2-3 hours on a good night, to sleeping 6.5-7 hours EVERY night!!!!!!! I plan to get one in every size!
Marcia B.
Baby is not born yet- but your product came highly recommended by a friend with twins.

My daughter would only sleep for 45 minutes to an hour at a time. She was in the NICU before we brought her home, and she was given a lot of attention there - maybe too much.
After several nights of purchasing random infant sleep aiding products at 3am, I came across the Nested Bean. It took about 3-4 nights of using this product for my daughter to adjust and for us to see a big difference in her sleep. Now, she regularly sleeps for 3.5-5 hours at a time, twice in the night. What a life-changer!
Give it a try - seriously.
Kimberly S.
We love our swaddle. However I wish the inside flap were the babies legs go was bigger.
Lina T.
Amazing! All he did was cry when I wasn’t holding him. Such a life saver. At night he was fussing moving around so much waking up every 3 hours and now We both get 4- 5 hours of straight sleep!!!

After a week of using the zen swaddle my 1 month old hasn't cared for it. The extra feet insert sewed inside he seemed to get out of and it gets tangled in his legs which make him upset and frustrated. The velcro sticks really well cause hea always trying to get his arms out without accomplishment. Although it's so loud to undo. A 2 a.m diaper change and your undoing the swaddle with a loud velcro sound wakes everyone up including a half asleep drowsy baby. Other than that the weight of the beans inside doesn't seem to do anything for him. He still only prefers my arms and if I lay him down with the swaddle on I still have to keep my hand on his chest along with the weight of the beans. Material wise its medium weight. I wouldn't say its light weight cotton but I wouldn't say it's hot hot it's a soft piece of fabric. Overall I probably could have lived without this purchase and used a recieving blanket and filled a sock with rice up he wouldn't know the difference. Deciding on returning but you have to pay to return so is it even worth the return? A little disappointed I was really looking forward to an extra hour of sleep like other reviewers have mentioned.
Lacey C.
I was skeptical but I thought it was worth a try! I got this for my 4 week old and the first night she gave me a longer stretch than she had before. I wasn’t sure if it was going to last but it has and she is now 6 weeks and going to sleep around 11pm, up for 1 feed around 3 am and right back to sleep until 7 or 8 am. Not sure how this works but it has for us!
Rachel W.
Started using these on my twin boys at 5 weeks. By the second night they both went from waking every 2 hours to only once in the early morning hour. I put them in bed awake and within minutes of swaddling they fall asleep on their own. Highly recommend for parents looking for a little extra sleep at night
Eryn M.
Half of the time, he wakes up because he gets himself unswaddled out of it. Also the inside pouch ripped within two weeks of having the swaddle.
María E.
I do believe my baby sleeps longer and more comfortable when using the swaddle, the only thing that bothers me is the sound of velcro, it wakes up my baby every time I need to open or close the swaddle. I think there is a great opportunity to improve the product in this aspect.
miranda
amazing swaddle! our 1 week old baby was only up once during the night then had to be woken up in the morning!
faigy t.
she likes it only sometimes
Livia P.
Love it! My baby loves it!
Fabric and quality are great! Soft and washes really well.
Ainy s.
Its really good , my baby sleeping whole night now , i just love the product
Kimberly M.
Purchased this for a "yet to be born" grandchild. My issue was with the late shipment. I could not get customer service to answer any of my questions with regard to the hold up...still haven't heard from them. Crickets........
Natalie S.
My son is almost 6 weeks old & we’ve been using the zen swaddle almost 3 weeks now. He sleeps for 3-4 hour stretches at night, meaning 2 middle of the night feedings at the most. We love the swaddle & will transition him to a sleep sack in the next few months!
Ariana H.
Baby Nate loves it! Took his one night to get use to and the follow night he went from waking up every 2-3 hours to sleeping 6 up to 7 hours a night!! Highly impressed! Will be purchasing more items as he grows out of the current ones Thank you for creating such an amazing product
Maria N.
I bought this for my 5 month old daughter who had been having sleep issues. In a few days we noticed she slept longer stretches and eased herself to sleep. We love it thus far. The quality is amazing and the price is just right!
Brianna S.
Absolutely love this swaddle!!!
Alexandra M.
I love the Nested Bean Zen Swaddle! I bought it to give my baby more leg room when we were still swaddling her. We transitioned her arms out of the swaddle around 3 months, but are still using it with arms out for each nap and nighttime sleep. The velcro works well and isn't too loud when undoing it for a middle-of-the-night diaper change. Also, I think the weighted beans help baby sleep. I highly recommend this swaddle!
Breanna s.
My baby loves her bean swaddle. She’s 10 weeks old and we’ve been using this for about three weeks now. She went from waking up every 3-4 hours during the night to sleeping 6-8 hours.
Mary G.
This has been a lifesaver with my daughter. She is 2 months old and has been able to sleep for 5 hours now (used to only get through 2-3) when she is wearing her nested bean swaddle! She immediately calms down, falls asleep, and stays asleep with the weighted beads. I definitely recommend!
KRISTI S.
So awesome!!! Increased my grandaughter's sleep by 2-3 hours! Also so cute!
Taylee H.
I love these products!!! My newborn was waking up because he would get his arms out of other swaddles. This one is long and he has been sleeping six hours at night. Highly recommend this swaddle and the sleep sack for older infants.
JENNIFER R.
Love the design and the feel. Good quality!!!
Kathy M.
I bought it for my Great grand baby who isn’t born yet but I am sure it will get used a lot
Colleen P.
My son doesn't like having his arms swaddled at his sides to prevent his moro reflex from waking him. It is nice to have the option of swaddling with the arms out. I continue to utilize the Zen swaddle because it does help him fall asleep with the light weights in the swaddle.
Rachel H.
I had really high hopes for this but it just didn’t work for us. The material is very stretchy so my little guy had no trouble getting his arms free. He would get them underneath the swaddle part and lift his hands up to his mouth putting all that fabric in his face. If your babe isn’t a squirmy one I think this would be amazing for you.
Carianna G.
I loved this swaddle! It was soft and easy to use. I was easily able to get it nice and snug for a newborn. I also really liked the lightly weighted pad and sides. These do such a good job of mimicking the touch of mom and dad! Great swaddle and I would highly recommend it to new parents!
Hunter L.
Kept baby swaddled well but made no difference to sleep
Alyson K.
Adelyn loves this swaddle the best! We are enjoying long stretches of restful sleep now thanks to the Zen Swaddle!
Jennifer R.
I love this swaddle. She stays snug and satisfied. Sleep has improved in one week from every two hours a night to 4+ the first part of the night and nearly 3 hours the second part of the night. She’s 6 weeks so lots of change anyways but I attribute those awesome runs of sleep to this new swaddle.
Jennifer S.
It worked one night...since then, my daughter doesn’t like it. She will scream until we take her out of it.
Debra J.
My baby loves to be swaddled while sleeping. He tends to wiggle out of his swaddles. I love the swaddles with Velcro because they keep his arms down and prevents him from pulling his pacifier out and getting upset. I was also drawn to this swaddle because of the calming affect it’s supposed to have for fussy babies.
My baby is very active and kicks off his blankets. The “Nestedbean” does not have Velcro to keep the bottom half of the swaddle on so he kicks it right off so he’s left with just his upper half secure in the swaddle with his legs completely uncovered. I do not recommend this swaddle if your baby kicks his blankets or is a wiggler.
This swaddle is recommended for fussy babies. The lightly weighted nested bean is a clever idea however in my case it is not calming to a screaming baby with a bellyache. If my boy was a very calm non wiggly boy this would be perfect. The swaddle would be much more affective if there was Velcro to keep the swaddle completely on. My solution if I want to deal with the hassle of the “Nestedbean” coming off is swaddling my baby in a very light blanket and then putting him in the “Nestedbean” to simply keep his arms from being released and pulling out his pacifier.
The material is soft and a perfect thickness. I do like the idea of the little Nestedbean pouch that is weighted to have the affect of a hand resting on his chest. However, the weighted nested bean is pointless if the swaddle doesn’t stay on your infant.
Please add the Velcro to have an affective swaddle.
Emma K.
My 6 week old will go down to bed at 9 pm and wake up between 2-4 am to feed again. Before using the swaddle, he would wake up between 12-1 to eat! We went from 2 feeds a night to only 1!
Courtney T.
I wanted to love this swaddle! I think the weighted aspect did help our little one to fall asleep, but he was able to get his arms out of the swaddle EVERY TIME. I tried it multiple times, and know I was swaddling correctly. It might just be time to give up swaddle, but he cannot escape the other brand we use quite yet. I still plan on trying the nested bean sleep sack when we do transition.
Edie L.
She seems to sleep better with this swaddle!
Colleen P.
Once I figured out how my son likes to be swaddled it has been great getting some well needed sleep at night. My son is 3 weeks old and is able to sleep for 3 hours at a time. We get up for diaper change and feeding then back in the Zen swaddle a little snuggle time and back to sleep he goes. It really does deliver, after night 1 he was sleeping more peaceful and was not startled awake by his moro reflex.
Kelsey F.
This swaddle is a miracle!!! My baby was sleeping 4-5 hour stretches before and once he started using the nested bean swaddle he started sleeping 7-8 hours every night!! It’s been wonderful and I will definitely be buying more! Wish I would have gotten this sooner!
Christine Q.
We love our swaddle! My LO falls right asleep once she’s wrapped up and stays sleeping when I move her now. We are getting almost 5 hrs of sleep at a time through the night. I highly recommend the swaddle for your LO I wish I had gotten mine sooner. She used to fight other swaddles while I was putting it on her, now she willingly puts her hands down when I’m wrapping her and is asleep within 5 min.
Ashley S.
I bought it for my grandson kids say they love it it really helps baby sleep
Corinn S.
This was a game changer. My 6 week old went from sleeping a 2 hr stretch to 5 hrs. We are very happy with this purchase!
Kristy W.
So happy I gave this swaddle a chance. My 1 month old would scream everytime inset him down, even to sleep. With the Nested Bean Classic Swaddle I wrap him up and hes out like a light almost all night!
Dominique S.
The first day was cool but when she get upsets she can literally kick herself outta the pocket in the middle and then kick herself all the way out. I think that the pocket should be down lower because babies do grow.
Lindsey N.
Love this! My baby girl sleeps a couple more hours than what she used to through the night without waking up, making her feel secure.
Alexa L.
My daughter, like most babies, was sleeping in two hour increments. At six weeks and a Nested Bean later, she is sleeping many more hours. As a result, she had adjusted her feeding schedule to eat more during the day, ensuring she maintains strong growth and weight gain!
Marilyn C.
It took about a week for my 2 month old grandson to get used to the swaddle. We also had to get used to the timing and putting him in it. He absolutely hates having his arms swaddled, so we just lightly Velcro wrap his torso and cover him with the bean filled top, leaving his arms out. We also discovered that wrapping him in the swaddle before he is ready to sleep is perfect! He likes the snug feel as we hold or rock him and when we put him down, he is already swaddled without too much disruption!
Nancy L.
It worked well as a swaddle but didn’t do anything different than any other swaddle we have tried. We’ll continue to use it but it wasn’t the miracle product like the videos I’ve seen of other babies!
Brittany T.
So probably like everyone else I was desperate to get this baby to sleep more restful at night. So I ordered this. I love how it’s made and it maybe helped but not enough for this desperate mom. I realized my baby isn’t sleeping better because she’s fighting to get her arms out! But she NEEDS them held down or she won’t sleep at all. I ended up buying a swaddle from different company that keeps their hands up and she loves it! BUT WAIT! I still use the nested bean at night, I wrap it around her belly while she’s in the arms up swaddle so she still has that comfort feel! Best of both worlds. But she looks so cute in her nested bean!
Jessica J.
My baby was already a pretty good sleeper, he slept until 2 every morning. After using the zen sack for about a week he started sleeping until 4, and now (2.5 weeks in) he is sleeping till 5:30/6! We love it. Super easy to use and wash.
Laure H.
No more crying at night. My baby sleeps through the night, wakes up to eat, and falls asleep right away. Love it! Love it!
Stephanie K.
My baby has been sleeping for about 6 hours in a row at night which is an improvement! I think she also settles down faster with the weighted parts.
Lyndsey W.
My little one will not tolerate being set down! It’s been exhausting! I just received a few swaddles and sacks today! The swaddle has had her napping for 3 hours on the couch safely! Yay! We will see how the rest goes!
Candice K.
My 7 week old went from sleeping 4 hrs in a row to all night!!!!
Jill C.
I bought your wrap for my duaghters new baby. Unfortunately, the child is breach and is now in a brace to correct her legs. The swaddle CANNOT BE USED. It is nice but not effective for a child born with dislocated legs and a brace.
We do not know how long she has to be in this brace. Maybe you should invent something to use for babies that have this condition. It is not your fault but the product is useless for us.
Come up with something - you would probably make lots of money
Meagan J.
I love this swaddle! After about three nights of using this swaddle, my 7 week old daughter has started sleeping from 9-5. It keeps her feeling cozy and content. We got it for a trip to the beach to keep her feeling comfortable and she even slept great away from home. I highly recommend this product!
Gale K.
This is the 2nd Zen Swaddle I have purchased for my granddaughter. My daughter in law was so thrilled with the results of the 1st one that a 2nd needed to be purchased.
For those of you who are skeptical, as I was at first, I can honestly say that this is a lifesaver. It took only one night for my 2 month old granddaughter to be able to return to sleep almost immediately after her night time feedings and comforted her when she became fussy.
The Zen Swaddle is going to be the number one gift I bring to every Baby Shower!
Laura W.
Love the nested bean swaddle! The first month we struggled to even swaddle our baby and sleep was elusive, which is to be expected to some extent. He still resists being swaddled while we’re putting it on, but once he is all wrapped up, he started giving us 4-5 hours of sleep and sometimes 6-7! He can get out of it if he wakes up and wiggles a lot, but it really does help him get in the sleep zone. Will definitely be getting the sleep sack once he grows out of this one.
Allison M.
He is now sleeping on his back in his bassinet for 4-5 hour stretches of time.
Kimberly G.
Our little man loves his Nested Bean swaddle sack! 30 seconds before this picture, he was crying, seemingly inconsolable. At 10 weeks old, he now sleeps in 9 hour stretches!
Jennifer B.
The weighted swaddle helps my baby stay asleep for more than 4 hours at a time when he used to wake up every 2-3!
Devianna M.
It's a miracle in the form of a swaddle!! We started using the swaddle about 3 weeks ago, and baby is 2 months old now. The first 2 nights, he was still waking up 2x/night, but we stuck to it. He is now sleeping 8-10 hrs straight. If he does wake up it's only once and because of a dirty diaper. I'm so thankful that someone invented this swaddle! We highly recommend trying it!
Mai E.
I love the quality of the Zen swaddle. Incredible print as well. Cannot wait to use this for my baby girl.
Emily Y.
Unfortunately, this swaddle didn’t live up to the expectations I made. It’s cute and easy to use in the middle of the night, but it stretches out so much I’m having to wash it daily. By the end of the night, it’s so loose it won’t stay tight enough to keep babies arms in. His legs never have stayed in the little pouch so his leg spasms wake him. It’s so close to his neck that I constantly worry about it being too close to his throat. Disappointed and wish I didn’t purchase the sack too.
Rachel T.
I do like the concept of this swaddle. My LO is able to wiggle his hands out, and one of the veloco straps has partly become removed at the seam. I will continue using, and will probably try the sleep sack when it’s time!
Katherine C.
The material is soft and good quality. The weighted parts feel just right . I rated it a 3 star because I feel there needs to be a snap or zipper on the bottom for easy middle of the night diaper changes. You have to unbundle the baby completely to change their diaper, which then woke him up each time.
Lori
Best thing ever!! My 1 month old went from sleeping 2-3 hours to 5-6. And he eats very healthy but just wasn’t sleeping well. So glad I found this and would recommend it to anyone!
Kelly B.
This is the BEST purchase made for my newborn! He is a MSPI baby with acid reflux. He’s had trouble sleeping from the start. We tried a regular swaddle on him and he still woke up every 20-45 minutes all throughout the night! Since buying the ‘magical’ zen swaddle, he sleeps 3-4 hours at a time at night. He is a nursing 2 month old and I’m so surprised at how well he sleeps since my purchase! Daytime naps are amazing as well, I’ve been able to get so much done around the house. 10/10
Cohrren G.
I was super hopeful when I made this purchase (desperate mama willing to try almost anything to get her little bean to sleep) and I’ll be honest, at least in our situation it hasn’t improved the length of time she sleeps at all.
Ashley B.
The swaddle itself is nice quality, and the velcro was very secure. My son likes being swaddled, but did not tolerate this swaddle for even one night. He would pull and fight to get out of it until I took it off.
Kelsie R.
We’ve really enjoyed this swaddle. Once we began using it our baby was able to transition to the bassinet. My only complaint is that if we need to change a diaper in the middle of the night you have to remove the entire swaddle.
Krystle R.
Best investment i ever made & i tell EVERYONE about it!
Chelsea C.
It worked amazingly my little one grew so fast I wish we could of used it longer though she slept great
Angela A.
It’s not really working for my 2 month old son. He’s not sleeping any longer than before (2-3 hours). We are going on the 2nd week of trying this product.
Penny R.
I purchased this for my daughter. She is expecting her first child in late September.
Candace R.
It’s a nice swaddle blanket, cute pattern, high quality, and soft. Unfortunately the weighted panels don’t seem to do much for my daughter. We still use it every night though because it’s a nice sleep sack.
Chelsea R.
We are loving our Nested Bean swaddle! We started using it Day 3 when our baby came home and now our baby sleeps throughout the night safely! Couldn’t be more happy with the product, it’s been a lifesaver!
amber p.
This is the only swaddle my 6 week old will use!
Gale K.
Bought this for my granddaughter who was having some issues sleeping and feeding during the night. She was 2 months old. I ordered this and gave it to my daughter in law and tole her to give it a try. She said it worked the FIRST night. We could not believe it and thought maybe it was a fluke. No it wasn't! She sleeps beautifully and wakes up one to two times a night for her feeding and immediately goes back to sleep without constant rocking etc. I bought her another and she has already asked me to buy her the sleep sack when the time comes. This Zen Swaddle is going to be my new "go to" for baby shower gifts!
Anne B.
Very soft fabric. I can't wait to use it for my baby boy.
Audra J.
Worked great the first few nights but then the material got stretched out and she can always get out and is waking every few hours again. Switched back to the swaddle sack from the hospital.
Kasey J.
My 1st grandbaby was having issues with colic and the swaddle help a lot.
Whitney H.
I was a little nervous ordering this but thought I would give it a try!! The first week we didn’t see a change. After that first week he went from sleeping 3 hours to 5-6 hours! He loves being in it!
Megan L.
We love this swaddle! The internal pocket makes this fit for months as little ones grow. My only regret is that we don’t have more than one! We definitely see an improvement in sleep in comparison to other swaddles. We use it on a nightly basis. Easy to use, great quality, highly recommended!
Suzette R.
My newborn didn’t like being swaddled. I sent an email requesting a refund for the item. Please advise
Shelley S.
Love this swaddle! My 2 month old sleeps for at least 9 hrs every night! The material is stretchy and soft and it's very easy to clean! 10/10 would DEFINITELY recommend.
Morgan P.
My daughter was having troubles sleeping at night, only sleeping an hour at a time then she’d be awake for a bit and sleep and hour again. I couldn’t get her to sleep longer until I started using the Zen Swaddle, last night was the first night using it and she slept for four hours! She’s 3 weeks old.
Blanca H.
Worked great 7/10 times for us. By far better than anything we ever tried. Smaller than anticipated but we will purchase from them again! Our baby stopped sleeping alone at 2 months and would not sleep without someone holding him and this helped him sleep alone.
Peggy L.
I bought one as a baby shower gift which is not until September.
So I really can’t review it.
LESLEY R.
Ever since we bought the swaddle my daughter has been sleeping longer periods at night. The pouch for their feet keeps her feeling secure and since she can grow with it I am happy to spend the money! Thank you
Nicole L.
We’ve been using our nested bran swaddle for the past week. We have a 12 week old who was born 6 weeks premature. We’ve been lucky if we were getting 2 hour stretches overnight in between feedings and the amount of time it took him to settle back into a sleep. Last night we had our first 4.5 hour stretch followed by a 3.5 hour stretch. He is able to fall back asleep more quickly in between nighttime feeds as well. We are hoping this trend continues. I will say the swaddle keeps him very warm in the summer weather, so we’ve only dressed him in a onesie underneath during the summer with the AC on. Otherwise he gets way too warm. I plan on getting the sleep sack once he starts rolling.
Roxanne R.
I decided to buy the Zen swaddle after noticing my son would wake up frequently due to his Moro reflex. I was happy to finally find a swaddle that he enjoyed sleeping in. He never liked having his arms tucked away, so I loved that I could still give him a swaddle affect with his arms free! Once we started using the ZenSwaddle we’ve noticed him being able to soothe himself back to sleep after startling himself awake.
He’s pictured here hanging with his uncle before bedtime. I highly recommend this product.
Lane B.
Our baby loves his swaddle! The only issue I have with it is that he constantly breaks free with at least one arm. I'll have to learn how to swaddle tighter!
Amanda L.
Reading some of the reviews I expected more, but she is consistently sleeping 4-6 hours (not the 8 plus people reported). And she has fallen asleep in the crib in her own with little fuss. Hoping things continue and maybe improve further.
Melanie E.
First time mom here. My little girl was a pretty good sleeper at first (4-6 hours and waking up once or twice to feed). At 5 weeks I put her in this swaddle and ever since then she sleeps 9-10 hours EVERY night. She doesn’t wake up to feed and she’ll be 4 months next week. I already bought the next stage up for when she starts rolling. Love nested bean, but we love our sleep more! One happy momma here!!
Kasey M.
I wanted/needed to love this swaddle. I don't see any improvement in my 2 month's old sleep with this versus our Halo Swaddle. In fact the Nested Bean Zen Swaddle does not allow for diaper changes without fully unswaddling.
We have a difficult time getting a tight swaddle and most of the time my little one's left arm starts escaping, loosening the swaddle enough where it starts to get over his chin. I also find when I get a nice tight swaddle the little side weight bags get pushed down/out from my little one's arms.
It's a great concept and good price, just not providing any improvement over the Halo Swaddle.
Lina Q.
These swaddles are great. My baby tend to get super fussy and cry a lot when we put him in a swaddle. But after we tried the Zen he's just so calm and falls asleep quickly. I read so many reviews saying that babies started sleeping longer in the Zen but we haven't noticed any change with his sleep stretches yet. My only comment though is that I wish there was a way to check his diaper without having to unswaddle him, because the velcro is pretty strong and it wakes him up when we have to pull it open. Also I noticed it gets a little harder to burp him with the swaddle on so we have to keep trying for some time versus when he doesn't have it on, but no big deal. Having said that I certainly recommend this product for parents of babies who don't like to be swaddled.
