Have any of you tried the grow with me swaddle from woombie? Last time we used the original woombie and I had a love hate relationship with it. It was great but sometimes too stretchy to really give the swaddle feel. It was also frustrating having to keep sizing up, but the grow with me claims to fit babies from 0 to 9 months and is expandable. I wonder if it truly works

I've never tried this particular brand. But we had them! And I liked them for the most part.

@Mrsbells: wow this looks great! I bought a woombie for my first, never liked it because of how you described it was too free. With my daughter this year, we used the heck out of that thing! We honestly used it way longer than we should have, I basically had to hide it from my husband to get him to stop. . I definitely would have bought it if I saw this

@MrsDynamiteGal: which brand were you using? @mrsbubbletea: Yeah it costs a little more but seems totally worth it

This is a little different, but similar concept. We used it and I cannot recommend it enough! Our guy loved to suck on the fabric over his hands as a way of soothing himself. I bought mine via amazon. They also sell a version without the zip off arms.

@Mrsbells: I honestly couldn't tell you. It's been so long ago. But we called them sleep bags/sacks.
@NorthStar: Those are darling!

@NorthStar: Yep they were great and gave me peace of mind every night. It'll be on my shop list should we have another baby.

@Mrsbells: This is new to me but I'm curious now! We used the Halo Swaddle with DD and loved it except that DH had to wrap her super tight to keep her arms/hands in. Which meant whenever I did it, she would bust out. Would love to find something better this time!

@NorthStar: also loved the swaddle up! I had it wiht my first but never even used it for some reason, kicking myself for that. Works so well with my now 5 month old, we initially used a swaddle me but she could bust out of that easily. The hands up seems more natural and yes they are so cute and funny looking. About to start transitioning out of the arms wiht the 50/50 one and a little nervous!

@petitenoisette: Good luck! Our guy actually transitioned really well and it surprised me. We just did one arm at a time and that helped. and the cutest thing? Our guy still periodically falls asleep with his hands up in that position (he is 18 months old). lol
