Saturday, November 6, 2010 Summer Infant Swaddlepod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really wanted to like this, but my, at the time, 6 week old wouldn't sleep in it, and only fussed. We already had a Woombie, which she sleeps great in. Compared to the Woombie (newborn deluxe) this is stretchier and the neck hole is bigger. She gets her hands out and it's so stretchy that she can put her elbows up by her face, and both of those things annoy her, so all she'll do is cry.
The Swaddlepod is less than half the cost of the Woombie, so it might be worth trying in case your baby likes it, but the Woombie is much better for us. We might try it later when she is bigger. Right now, she is 8 weeks and 10 lb, 2 oz and 22 3/4 oz.
Editing several months later:My daughter turned 5 months today, and is still being swaddled (we tried to break her of it but she can't sleep without being swaddled.)So, I feel like we have become experts on Swaddle blankets. She did end up using this one some until about a month ago (until when she was about 12 lb, and we felt it was too short on her. She only used it when all her Woombies were being washed)We now use 3 Big Baby Woombies and 1 Summer Big Baby woombie (our favorite.)This would be perfect if they would put a snap closure across the top that makes the neck hole smaller so there would be no chance that baby would get their arm/hand out.And if they made it larger or in a bigger size. I would purchase it again if they made it in a bigger size now that she is close to 14 lb.So, again, give it a try b/c it is so much cheaper, but if it doesn't work for you, try the Woombie- you will love it!
