The Gro Company Hip Healthy Swaddle, Up and Away

Bought these as a gift however we had the same for our newborn last year. A great alternative to using blankets to swaddle, these are much less likely to come undone but still have enough room for baby to move their hips and legs freely. Lovely soft material which washes well and an excellent price for a two pack especially from a trusted brand

Used for a premature baby who didn’t weigh much. Was good some nights as baby liked to have arms close to body however wasn’t the easiest or most efficient thing to use. Can come undone easily when baby wriggles around if you use as directed in videos on their website. Had to tuck the end in to make it more secure but even then it wouldn’t last the night.

Quick delivery lovely product, does what it says, as described. My son sometimes liked to be swaddled but by ten weeks didn't like it anymore however we have continued to use this just wrapped around his waist under his armpits which works well, although now st 3 months he is kicking his legs more so it doesn't stay on and we will have to move up to the proper sleeping by bags soon. It's a thin material so nice and cool, the box gives guidance on how many layers to wear underneath in relation to the room temp which is useful. Great for newborns who like to be swaddled.

These were much better than a traditional swaddle once my baby got a big bigger and stronger but before too long he could wiggle out of them. They were also a big short but I do have a long baby!

Easier to use than a normal swaddle blanket but for a baby like mine, with crazy arm and hand reflexes doesn’t sort out the issue, a standard swaddle blanket works better. Gorswaddle is made from an elastic cotton, thefore my baby fights with her arms inside the swaddle and manage to move them anyway (regardless on how tight i swaddle her) and it keeps her awake. A normal swaddle blanket is not as practical to use, but is more effective to block baby’s hand movements.

These are easy to use but I had to use a bit of maternal common sense instead of the "what to wear" advice given. Although my room was in the "smiley face" range of 16-20*c, it was too cold for just a short sleeve vest! So I used a sleep suit too.

The swaddles are good but it would be better if there was a small bit of Velcro on them to allow them to stay secure. I have wriggle babies and they manage to get a arm or leg out.

Baby managed to wriggle out of these pretty easily from a very young age so not sure I ever got it right. Only used a handful of times.
