Swaddle for 2mo?

5 replies

JaimeLansinoh · 29/07/2014 18:55

My 2mo DS is about reach 4.5kg and outgrow the Swaddlepod he's been using and I'm looking for a replacement as he still startles himself awake waving his arms around. I can't seem to find one that fastens with something like the Swaddlepod zips as he can escape from any that are just tucked in. I also want one where he can fully straighten out his legs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have just ordered a Woombie off eBay. They are stupidly expensive IMO but look pretty good and come in bigger sizes. 9 week old DS is literally bursting out of his Swaddleme. The one I ordered is a Woombie Air which looks ideal for the hot weather.

I used a Summer infant SwaddleMe in small until 2 months and in large until just under 5 months when he went in his cot.
DS could only get his arms out when he was getting to big for them

We used the smaller size Summer Infant for DS and then got the larger size (from 17lb).

10 week old DD is nowhere near 17lb so is still in the smaller one.

They are a cotton jersey (we do have some fleece ones from DS who was a winter baby) and maybe a tiny bit thicker than some other swaddlers but we put her in either just a nappy or a nappy plus a short sleeved wrap vest with no under-bum poppers, so I think she's OK temperature wise.

The same thing with only getting arms out when he was really getting a bit big - I suspect with DD being smaller she'll be ready for the gro bags (i.e. not whacking herself in the face any more) before she's too big for the smaller size.
