Our little is 4months. She loves to be cuddled and close to someone at all times. We were having a hard time getting her to stay asleep after we laid her in her bed. I would have to lay my hand on her chest to get her to relax and the moment I moved it she would wake again. After I purchased the sleep sac she now lays down and stays asleep. She does wake in the night for feeding. But goes right back to sleep afterwards. I highly recommend a sleep sac for a restful nights sleep for you and baby
R M.
Amazing for nap time to mimic a hand on the chest! This has really helped our baby who doesn’t like to sleep on his back.
Allison K.
The Zen Swaddle definitely helps my little one settle without needing as much rocking or swaying, but I wouldn't say it's a miracle swaddle that keeps him asleep longer. If he wants to be awake, he's awake. But he smiles when I begin to wrap him in the swaddle, the material is a great weight and the size is great for him to grow into. Definitely not disappointed.
Shannon B.
My son is 4 weeks old, he loves it! We’ve been getting 4-6 hour stretches of sleep each night!
Lindsay
My 2 month old has went from waking up every couple hours to sleeping through the whole night ever since the first night we got it. The first night SHE slept great the entire night and I was the one waking up at 3am... had me thinking where’s MY zen sleep sack lol.
Michelle L.
Wanted to love it but our baby keeps wiggling out of it. No matter how tight we wrap it or what we do, he still gets out of it and wakes up at night.
Taylor I.
Our little bundle of joy was up every 3 hours and now he sleeps 6 hours! I'm very thankful for the sleep this product has given me!
Natalie W.
My 2 month old was really struggling with sleeping at night, sleeping 2 hours at a time. Once we received the swaddle we put our LO in it and she slept a full 6 hours between feedings. Would recommend to anyone that is struggling at night
Elizabeth K.
It’s a nice swaddle and good quality. But, it absolutely made no difference in my 4 month old’s nap time. He is still waking after 30 minutes and can’t self soothe.
Lupita G.
Our little guy loves his Nested Bean Swaddle and so do we! He’s one month old and even though he’s always been a pretty good waking up only once or twice I decided to go ahead and buy one and wow! After 3 nights or so he started sleeping all night from 10:45 to 7 am! He wakes up to eat then goes back to sleep until 9. It’s been 3 weeks now and we’re loving it!
Ashlee O.
I had a premature baby (6 weeks early) she spent a few weeks in the NICU. She came home and had to adjust being home. She became attached me to where she wanted to feel my touch. I waited until she was around 8lbs to use this. I ordered this because the weighted feeling makes her feel secure. I haven’t had any issues with her sleeping. getting ready to order the sleep sack!
Erika F.
My son is 7 weeks old and is colicky. Nights are extremely tough. The most he slept was 2.5 hours. The first night with the Zen Swaddle, he slept 5 hours! (I’ll take it!!) We are still in the first week of using the swaddle, but I already highly recommend it.
Heather K.
One of the first times she went to bed with the swaddle on she slept the most ever! Went from 2 hours to about 6!
Jordan P.
My 3 month old doesn’t sleep any better with the zen swaddle. She breaks out of it every time! Not only does she get her hands free but she gets her legs free too. I’m sure it works great for some people but for my power kicker it just doesn’t work.
Erica G.
Our son is due in July, and this product came highly recommended by different friends and family members. The material is extremely soft, and I can’t wait to see it work it’s magic on our newest addition!
amanda C.
My son sleeps pretty well in this, surprisingly! I should have grabbed the zen one also!
LiAnne C.
My son wiggles out of it. it’s a challenge to wrap him up and keep the sand part up around his chest and sides as I swaddle him. Once I go get him secured in the swaddle he kicks his feet and wiggles his arm and Houdinis his way out of it. And in order to change his diaper in the middle of the night I have to undress him. I think it would be less stressful if it was a combination of the sleep sack and a swaddle
Isabella W.
My baby LOVES IT! He’s so happy when we put it on him and he falls asleep so fast! I highly recommend it! Definitely going to be purchasing more products from Nested Bean as he grows up!
Mackenzie G.
This is actually my second swaddle I’ve purchased from Nested Bean! We have been really enjoying it and it has resulted in sounder, longer periods of sleep for our little one. However, she is now at a weird in-between stage where she’s almost too big for the inner leg sack but she’s not quite big enough to go without it. When we have attempted to use the swaddle without the inner sac, she somehow manages to wriggle so much the swaddle comes up around her face...we’ve just continued using the inner sac and she occasionally kicks her legs out. Overall, we are still enjoying it!
Courtney B.
My little one went from sleeping 30 minutes - 1 hour At a time to 4-5 hours in a few days. She is 8 weeks.
Courtney P.
Our little girl is 7 weeks and finally sleeping for more than 2-3 hours. Most recently she slept a full 5 hours!
Lori F.
Bought this for a 7 week old grandson still getting up every 2 hours...first nap in the Zen swaddle he slept 3 ½ hrs and is now sleeping 4 ½ - 5 hours....BEST BABY GIFT EVER!!
Cheyenne S.
I was really hoping this would be the magic bullet others had described, but unfortunately it was just okay. The first night we used it was awful! The baby was up every hour and I never wanted to use it again, but we powered through. By night four she was sleeping as long as she did in a normal swaddled. We never got a stretch longer then what we had gotten in a normal swaddle. The Velcro is really strong and holds. It was almost a little too strong at first and really had to be ripped apart, but it got easier to use. It would be nice if they would add a zipper at the bottom for night time diaper changes.
Sarah V.
It worked, I think. It was too big for my little girl (although she was within the weight) and it was such a pain to put on her and get everything in the right places due to her being small. So while it worked we are returning it due to that.
Marianthe B.
I really wish I had understood how to use this swaddle, but that is my fault for not reading directions or checking out any videos. I didn't realize that the weighted part goes UNDER the velcro arms, so I was just letting the weighted part flop over the other pieces and of course my baby would kick it off through the night. Had I figured out how to use it properly I think it would have been really beneficial for her sleep. As soon as she seemed like she was going to roll (and now ironically at 6 months, she isn't rolling at all) we started putting her in the Nested Bean sleep sacks which I love. I'll just have to use the swaddle properly for the next baby!
Justin M.
From no sleep to lots of sleep for baby and me!
Brittany R.
I do enjoy the swaddle. I don’t know that it’s made a crazy difference in his sleep I feel like I should have waited for the Zen One to restock because I wanted that originally, but was desperate! Russell is 2 1/2 months old an his startle reflex is still bad but hates his arms in a swaddle. So hopefully the Zen One restocks soon and maybe I will return the swaddle for that. :-). -Brittany
Katy B.
Love the nested bean swaddle! This is the 2nd one I’ve bought her! It’s the only thing we’ve bought to be able to hold her arms down and prevent her from waking herself up! I highly recommend them!
Maria P.
It’s like flipping a switch!!! We used it the very first day it arrived and almost instantly he fell asleep. He went from waking every 3 hrs to sleeping 6.5hrs! We feel so blessed to have tried this swaddle, he’s a pretty strong baby so he always came escaped our blanket swaddles, he can’t fight this one! Definitely recommend it.
Jerusalem C.
This is my fifth baby and I am just finding out about this swaddle. I love it and wish I had it for all my babies. The Velcro is the best one I have seen so far and snuggles my baby so well. The beaded part of the swaddle is one of my favorite part as well.
Mimi D.
My little one fell asleep in her bassinet within 15 minutes! She NEVER falls asleep in the bassinet without being held and bounced, and she NEVER stays asleep in the bassinet! I'm so happy! Absolute best product ever!
Taylor H.
Our baby girl who is 12 weeks old has gotten her best sleep through the nights with this!
Mokler, V.
I’m not 100% sold on this swaddle. My 6week old is still able to break out of it, even when he looks like he’s in a straight jacket. I do feel like it helps him stay asleep longer. Which is a total plus!
Jamie P.
Very nice quality swaddle. But it not make a difference in my son's ability to sleep longer or not. I'm also noticing that since he kicks so much, his feet pop out after pushing the weighted front down with his feet. I will probably stop using this swaddle sooner than I expected because I don't see how it is safe with his feet kicking out.
Sorry to say I am not one of the reviewers who saw big changes as a result of swaddle.
Jackie R.
We are obsessed with the nested bean swaddle! I started using it with my 10 week old son and he went from 5-6 hours a night to 8+ hours within two days!!! I’d highly recommend this swaddle over any other brand!!!
Rebecca H.
I bought this for my 6th child, excited to see if it worked better than the traditional swaddle blankets I have always used. The material is soft and the swaddle well made, but I found the material too stretchy, my son can move his hands up by his face no matter how tight I wrap the blanket. Also, after a couple nights, the arms of the blanket are so stretched the velcro goes past the material it can stick to, making a loose swaddle. I loved the idea of the weighed blanket, but did not see any significant changes in his sleep pattern after a few weeks of use.
Chelsea M.
I feel like it could work, but my 1 month old likes to break out of it. I've tried wrapping him every way and he still breaks out. He doesn't seem to like being bundled
Erin A.
WE LOVE OUR ZEN SWADDLE!!!!
I waited until my daughter was 2 months old to start using the swaddle. I didn’t want her to sleep past the 4-5 hour mark because babies can’t regulate their blood sugars that young.
ButLetMeTellYou!
Since the first night of putting her in it, she will sleep from 10pm-5/6am STRAIGHT!!!! I feel like I am killin it with this newborn stage because of the sleep we are all getting
This is a MUST HAVE for every baby every where!
Megan J.
I bought the Zen swaddle for my 2 month old. The fabric is very nice quality and super soft. The weighted parts are also not bulky or cumbersome and the overall design is pleasant. However I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and it has not changed my daughters sleeping habits at all. I mainly purchased it because she would wake up in the early morning to feed (between 2-3am) and then be super restless the rest of the morning, waking up sometimes every hour until I got her up for the day at 7am. I was hoping the weighted swaddle would help her with this but it hasn’t. I’ve tried both arms swaddled, one out and then both out but she still doesn’t sleep well after her feeding. Again 3 stars because it is a well made product and seems to help some people but it didn’t work for us like I had hoped.
Kristin J.
Not the miracle I was hoping for. Haven’t seen a difference between this and any other swaddle we’ve used. My 2 month old still wakes up every 3 hours and fusses most of the night kicking his legs and trying to get his arms out.
Tarali W.
Let me tell you. These products are AMAZING. I was skeptical at first because my baby always disliked being swaddled, but the first night I used the Zen One, my little one went from waking every 3 hours, to sleeping 6 plus hours straight! This has saved my life. I tell all my mom friends to buy it and you should too! I also use the Zen Swaddle which also amazing
Ruxandra G.
It worked like a charm, my baby was sleeping about 3 hours a night. With the swaddle she’s sleeping 5 to 6 hours with no interruptions. Truly is a life saver!
Crystal M.
I love it. So easy to use. I wish I had it since day one. Sleeps longer and I don’t have to worry about him wiggling out in the middle of the night.
Mackenzie G.
Was definitely skeptical about this purchase, but I’m pleasantly surprised! Our 7 week old slept a 6 hour stretch for the first time this week. She seems to take more sound naps when using the Zen Swaddle and is already sleeping longer stretches at night. We just purchased our second swaddle so we have a back-up while this one is in the wash! Although my baby isn’t sleeping through the night, this swaddle is definitely worth the money as it has helped her sleep longer stretches, which this momma is so grateful for!
Felecia P.
We love the Zen Swaddle. My two month old is sleeping 6 hours (in his bassinet) getting fed and changed then sleeping another 4 hours. He loves the swaddle and we can lay him down awake and he will self soothe without crying in less then 10 minutes.!
Eileen N.
In an a hazy attempt to get more than 2 hours of sleep a night because my newborn would not sleep unless being held..despite my former go to swaddling sleep sack.. I ordered this. Finally got her to sleep for 2 hour increments after the first night! After trying 3 other " models " this is by far the winner.
Sara B.
I did not notice much of a difference with her sleep
April C.
My daughter is still pretty young (2 months) and breastfed so she wakes pretty frequent during the night to feed. I have been able to get at least one good 4-5hr stretch which has been very helpful. My only disappointment is that there isn’t a zipper for diaper changes. It’s a little frustrating in the middle of the night to have to unswaddle and re-swaddle for a quick change and completely waking her. Otherwise, I’m really happy with the purchase and will probably purchase another when she gets bigger.
Sarah R.
By day 3 my newborn was sleeping longer stretches at night! We love our zen swaddle.
Jennifer B.
My baby likes it but doesnt want to keep his hands and feet in it. Somehow he gets out lol but that's ok. It still helps him sleep better
Sarah L.
I absolutely love the design of this product. The cloth is sooo soft, comfortable, and breathable. My babe was exceptionally difficult with sleep for the first two months of his life, until I finally broke down and bought the zen swaddle. He used to be so restless and is now sleeping peacefully in 3 hour stretches since the very first night. I use mine every night.
Meg M.
I really like this swaddle! It is really a great idea & seems to work well with my baby. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because since the size goes from 0-6 months it is a tad large for my 10 week old. He’s too large for the infant pocket and baggy when swaddled regularly. However, we realllly like this swaddle!!
Mary P.
Love the weight and soft fabric but my 2 month old gets his arms out of it a lot more than he does with other swaddles/sleepsacks
Ashley S.
My daughter sleeps well IF I can make her arms stay inside. I don't understand how her arms are supposed to stay inside before I wrap her, so feel as if it is done sloppily. Once swaddled, she sleeps well, but one time she was able to get her hands underneath the section that swaddles her and she lifted up on it and it stayed velcroed in the back and was wrapped around her neck. I only use this during naps when I can keep my eyes on her monitor. She will not wear at night time.
Rachel L.
I thought about buying one of these for waaaay too long! Our little one has some of the craziest sleep transitions ever, she'll be like rolling all over her bassinet and grunting with her eyes wide open for 5 minutes at a time before settling back down, if at all. After a few long nights of waking up every 10-45 minutes we decided what the heck, nothing could possibly make this worse. In our moment of desperation we also tried renting a SNOO, magic sleeper, sounds amazing right? ...Let's just say we are sending the SNOO back after a few days, and loving the magic of this weighted swaddle more than ever expected because fast forward a few days she is now consistently sleeping 8pm - 6:30am, with a 5 hour stretch (her previous max was only 3 hours), and only waking twice to eat...AMAZING! Definitely did not expect such great results so quick, but the swaddle 100% helps her settle into the best sleep possible, and we couldn't be more thrilled.
Hayley C.
Baby is 4 weeks and sleeps 4-5 hours straight!
Elise P.
Our favorite swaddle! And we've tried a bunch...
Tori S.
My 8 week old went from sleeping 3 to 4 hours at a time to a solid 7 to 8 hours. This product is amazing i have already recommended it to so many people.
Darya C.
I had high hopes but it did nothing to improve sleep. My 8 week old still wakes up every 3-4 hours just the same way as with any other swaddle. Unfortunately, I don't believe I would be able to return. It says that babies are expected to wake up 3 times at night until they are 4 months old. I don't consider this normal. My other kids slept through the night by 6 weeks.
Samantha H.
Best purchase we ever made! My little man was hitting a sleep regression around 9-10 weeks and was struggling to give us a solid 5 hour stretch of sleep. Enter Nested Bean. Within 3 nights of use he was up to 9 hours straight of sleep! I am currently watching him sleep now and he is going on 9.5 hours, this is the longest yet! Since using the swaddle he has slept between 8 and 9 hours straight every night. This will now be part of my baby shower gift for all of my friends when they have babies!
Mary S.
My 7 week old went from sleeping for 10 minutes to 5 hours within a week. This changed our lives! Thank you!
Lindsey B.
I bought this for my 6 week old about a week ago and it definitely improved her sleep! Nothing too crazy but she slept about an hour or two longer than she was. BUT! She had a poop explosion and it leaked onto the swaddle so I washed the swaddle and now it does not Velcro anymore. I’m so disappointed I wasted my money because I can no longer use it.
Elizabeth G.
Its nice. It definitely calms my 2 month old when swaddled in it. But it comes undone easily no matter how tight you make it and the velcro is already starting to wear on it and ive only had it about 2 weeks.
Jackie S.
I like the idea. Daughter has slept no better with the swaddle. I would say has slept less than other swaddles that we have. Not sure I will continue to use.
Marisa R.
I wasn’t sure about it at first because my son didn’t like to have his arms swaddled and would cry until I took it off. I started to swaddle with his arms out and he sleeps 3-4 hour stretches every night, as soon as he eats and gets changed he goes right back to sleep. So far so good!
Lyndsay M.
Definitely feel my baby feels more secure in this swaddle! He seems to fall asleep faster than any other swaddle. I’d recommend this product if you find yourself leaving your hand on your baby and slowly taking it off so they don’t wake up!
Mia H.
We really like it. It helped our little guy sleep better. He hates to be swaddled with his arms restricted, but wakes himself by startling or trying to suck his hands. So we purchased the swaddle with the arms up by his face, too. We use it and then slide him into his Zen weighted swaddle. He’s slept well since we combined both types of swaddles. Maybe Zen could look into using a similar design so we could have the weight and the less restricted arms in one swaddle.
Sarah B.
We’ve been using the swaddle for almost two weeks but so far we’ve seen no improvement in sleep. We’ve tried the dream feed and different swaddle options like keeping our baby’s arm or arms out to help self soothe. Hopefully it’ll change soon. Not sure I would buy this product again.
Elizabeth O.
My baby is still cooking on the inside right now, but I bought this swaddle immediately after my sister said her second-born slept 5 hours in a row at 5 weeks old. My first born didn't do that until she was nine months old... I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Julie C.
The swaddle is soft and well made but I haven’t noticed any differences in my sons sleeping. He still wakes frequently
Sarah L.
Our daughter enjoys her new sleep sack
Amanda R.
Overall it helps keep my baby snug, but he does not sleep through the night as was expected due to all the reviews stating so.
Hannah J.
Good but takes way too long would recommend going somewhere else complete waste of time ya bludgers
Lisa M.
This swaddle gave me more sleep! My son was affected by the startle reflex all night long in his other swaddles (we tried the muslin and the Velcro swaddles). I finally bought the nested bean swaddle and he sleeps uninterrupted for 3-5 hours in-between feedings at night! The weight gives him the extra comfort that he needs. Thank you for this great product!
Ricardo G.
My daughter just loves it... she was using a regular swaddle blanket since she was born but she was always fighting against it (even considering that she couldn't sleep without it). After 2 days of sleeping with zen swaddle, she moved from 3 hours max sleeping time during nights to 6 hours. Amazing and we love it too. Thanks
Julie M.
Our daughter is so calm and peaceful in the swaddle, wish we would’ve bought it sooner
Ashley T.
Baby sleeps 2-3 hours in her swaddle better than every hour!!!
Sasha S.
Have a 1 month colic baby whom cries 24/7 with inability to sleep for more then 20 minutes at a time. This swaddle has helped to ease and settle baby while having severe crying fits and aids in his ability to fall asleep, however the length of sleep time remains the same.
Heather L.
Our baby was born premature at 28 weeks. When we brought him home, we had the hardest time trying to get him to sleep well, and in his bassinet instead of on us. Since we've had the Nested Bean Swaddle, he is now sleeping restfully for 6-7 hours overnight!!! I am so impressed! Mommy and Daddy are better rested now too. It has been a life saver!!!
Matthew S.
We ordered the wrong swaddle, so it’s really tough to give a review. We meant to order the zen one, but instead ordered the zen swaddle.
Stacy B.
My son loves the feel of someone’s hands on him while he sleeps. He does great at night in these swaddles. He gets his longest stretches of sleep when he wears them.
Brandee S.
We have a 12 day old and have been using this swaddle since we brought him home! He loves it and we love it! He wakes 1-2 times a night when using the swaddle.
Thank you nested bean!
Kelli N.
My babe has always been a great sleeper especially when being held. There have been nights when she would only sleep if being held. We are very strict on no cosleeping.
Soooo the first night swaddled wasn’t the best but by day 3 .... she slept 6 hours at 7 weeks old!
Brittany C.
We love these swaddles just waiting for baby to get a little older so she can really enjoy them too!
nicole b.
This swaddle has been a huge life saver. My daughter transitioning to the crib had not been working. She instantly would wake up, but with the ZenOne she has been in her crib every night since. She isn’t sleeping longer unfortunately but she will sleep soundly for 4-5 hours at a Time at 3 months old. Definitely worth the money
Katie F.
Love the swaddle. It’s very secure and I like the added weight. I never have to worry about my daughter coming out of the swaddle while I’m sleeping or it slipping over her face because of the Velcro. Washes well too!
Stephanie F.
Love the Zen Swaddle. It's easy to swaddle baby and keep him calm and sleepy. The weight part is a lifesaver as it calms down our baby boy. Would 100% recommend to any parent whose baby loves being swaddled.
Alyssa C.
We love this swaddle! Our one month old is finally sleeping for four hours at a time at night.
Soelvi H.
Has had it for a week now. Works some nights, but doesn’t make her sleep for longer stretches yet..
Mandie K.
Our daughter has acid reflux, and I don’t think this product worked for her because of that. I think it put pressure on her tummy which made her reflux worse at night.
helem g.
I couldn’t be more happy , this product is amazing my baby is three months old and he wakes up only twice at night he goes to sleep at 8 wakes up at 1 am then at 5 am this helped me so much with his routine if you’re struggling with your baby sleep give this product a try
Ashley W.
My son likes the weighted swaddle very much. His startle reflex is bad and he sleeps poorly. This seems to help. My one complaint is the fabric- it is too stretchy, he can work his arms out no matter how tight I do it. He can't get out of other swaddles. This is a problem because the fabric had scooted up his arms near his face. I didn't like that so I have to monitor him close.
Tiffany M.
She has slept 6-7 hours straight for two nights in a row! So far it’s great.
Natalia W.
Our little one loves it ❤️ easy to take hands in and out! Very secure - no escaping :)
Angela L.
We have had the swaddle for about a week now and have seen no real improvement in our 5 week old son's sleep. We are lucky to make it a two hour stretch after he is laid back down from a feeding which is the same as it was without the swaddle. We had one night that he made it about three hours. The only improvement is that he has not been able to break free of the swaddle and it is easier to wrap him back up in the middle of the night. May work for some but not seeing a real improvement in our house.
Deanna S.
Went from 3-hour sleep stretches at night to 5-6 hour sleep stretches in less than one week! Love it!
Kelly F.
My son has slept longer stretches from the first night he started wearing this. Going from waking 1-2 hours to 3-5 hours. I love it because he’s sleeping longer but also because the material is stretchy so it allows him to wiggle without loosening the swaddle. Very impressive product!
Hayley B.
I love this swaddle! It’s stretchy and easy to put on and my baby loves it. Doesn’t make him too hot. Bought this when he was 9 weeks and he started sleeping the best he has his whole little life. Wish I would’ve purchased sooner.
