Grobags - what age?

[cupcakes]

I have put dd2 in a grobag for the past 2 nights but am wondering if it is too soon. She is 7 weeks old and till now has slept swaddled in a sheet with a couple of blankets.
She seemed to like being in the grobag and it was nice keeping her warm and cosy whilst she had her night feed(s). However, she did not sleep fantastically well and I think she might still need swaddling.
Is it a good idea to perservere with the grobag at this age?
Opinions please!

as long as they weigh over 10ib grobag is ok. I swear by grobags they are fab

Some grobags are for babies that small, Mothercare does them from 7lb

We had a newborn size grobag for dd and used it from birth, I think it was suitable up to 10lb, here

Then moved on to next size. Always slept really well, and saves worrying about sheets, getting cold in the night, etc.

If you feel she still needs to be swaddled and she sleeps better then stick to what works. You can always move on to a grobag when she's a bit older. She might still need the security of being wrapped up

My DD is 4.5 months old and has only just gone into grobags - we did use them for a while when she was about 6 wks but she used to wake herself up moving her little arms.

She slept much better once we started swaddling her again and have only just stopped - because she seemed ot wkae herself up trying to wriggle out of the swaddle!

Don't know if that's any help!
