The first night we used this, he slept for one 4.5 hour stretch, then a couple of 2 hour stretches after that! Coincidence? Maybe. My formula fed baby had only been sleeping for a maximum of 1.5 hours at a time, with the usual being 45 minutes. I bought this when my baby was a month and a half old, desperate for some sleep and willing to try anything. It is this first had experience that led us to the creation of the Zen Swaddle. Each member of the Nested Bean team has experienced the joys and the challenges, the milestones and the tears that come with raising small children. It's natural to feel moments of uncertainty as you learn your baby's cry cues, eating habits and sleep patterns. and a little anxiety inducing!

Also, a small part of me worries that if she needs to move because of coughing/spit up, her arms are too restricted and she won't be able to. Only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because we do notice that, because she still moves & wiggles while in the swaddle, sometimes the flaps move up towards her neck/mouth so that worries me. That sounds like a WIN for us! Also, she doesn't mind her arms being held down, so that was a pleasant surprise. My friend recommended this product and it made a difference! Longer, peaceful, uninterrupted sleep and a happy baby! She can sleep 8 whole hours without waking up at night and she's only 2 months old. Shortly after this, her sleep would get interrupted more & more because her arms would twitch and move in her sleep (startle reflex) and we started to notice her mood change a little, being more fussy and cry from being tired.

At about one month we stopped being consistent with swaddling her because we thought she didn't like her arms being constricted (that wasn't true, shouldn't have given in so quickly, new parent/rookie mistake). This swaddle really helped my daughter STAY asleep.
