Review on Gray Love To Dream Swaddle UP for Small Babies (8-13 lbs) - Improve Sleep Dramatically with Arms Up Position for Self-Soothing, Snug Fit Calming Startle Reflex by Daniel Smith

I want to give this product 10 stars. We noticed immediately in the hospital how swaddling calms our daughter. However, by the time we got her home from the hospital, she was quite strong and could break out of any wrap we wrapped her in. Also, the birth exam revealed a low chance of hip dysplasia, so I didn't want to wrap my legs straight. Then we discovered the Dream Love Swaddle, which not only swaddled her easily and securely, but also allowed her legs to move naturally. From the first night I noticed that she slept much better and longer. I didn't use a diaper bag for several nights and again she slept less deeply and woke up more often. Here's the magic routine: After a night's feeding, I rock her for 15 minutes to lull her to sleep. I then place her in a diaper bag and rock her for another 5 minutes to ensure she is sound asleep before placing her in the crib. She usually sleeps like this for at least two hours, sometimes three. She used to get up usually within 30 to 60 minutes after freeing her hands from traditional swaddling and waking up. As a bonus, my husband noticed that she looks like a flying squirrel in a sack and called it his "squirrel suit". I will buy the next size up if she outgrows this one.
