Woombie Organic Swaddle Blanket, Vintage Linen, Preemie, 3-6 lbs

My baby came home at 4 lb 7 oz and this was way too small for her. This would only fit for smaller preemie babies.

This is a great concept but poorly executed in sizing or adjustability. We purchased the regular newborn size for our pre-term baby based on weight according to the sizing and it turned out to be absolutely huge and didn't work as intended. We figured he would grow into it and bought the preemie size to use in the meantime. Even though the weights indicated overlap for the two sizes, the preemie size was too small leaving us without a workable solution after a few short weeks when he outgrew it. There should be a size in between to transition as babies grow since the difference between the two is just too large to make a transition unless your baby packs on like 5 pounds and half a foot in a few weeks. There is no way to adjust the woombie at all to fit your baby. If it's not snug, it defeats the purpose. It works only in a limited growth window.As stated, the preemie is too tight, and the newborn could be knotted under his feet with some to spare and fit two of him in the width with the material elasticity. Now he is the size of a normal newborn and the newborn size is still too large to work right.Do what we did and watch the video "Happiest baby on the block" by Dr. Harvey Karp and learn how to swaddle correctly with a blanket (among other valuable things that really work for a "colicky" baby. You may find your baby is not colicky at all, just not many people realize how to properly calm one.) This guy is the Cesar Milan of babies. You watch and think "this will never work" and then it does. There is a little learning curve to the proper swaddle, but if you are diligent it will pay off bigtime in being able to soothe your baby quickly and get some quiet rest time.Also, an advantage to swaddling with a blanket is being able to keep baby's arms at his/her side so you can trigger the calming reflex. I know I did it right when he goes limp and calms right down. Our baby was able to work his hands up in the woombie (even when it was tight) and touch his face through the cloth and startle himself into a fit in 10 or 15 minutes. When we get a good swaddle, we can get him into the swing or cradle in under 5 minutes and he will sleep until next feeding. The first time we were able to go between feedings (maybe after 2 or 3 tries) it felt like some kind of baby calming magic.

The best swaddle ever. I’ve tried so many kinds but this is the one.First. The zipper is key. It won’t come undone so baby won’t be rolling around their crib with loose blankets (my daughter managed this with even the tightest, nurse done swaddles). zero worry about coming undone and super easy to put on. Plus - the Velcro ones can ruin your laundry if you aren’t careful. Such a hassle.But. The shape of this one is critical among zipper swaddles. It’s tight through the middle and smallish at the neck. Which means it’s calms baby down so much easier than other swaddles. We’ve also tried the swaddle me and the swaddle that comes with the snoo - neither are tight enough to settle baby and little baby hands always sneak out the top which defeats the purpose. We double swaddle in this followed by the snoo swaddle because this one is too perfect (but you have to latch the snoo swaddle in) I’ve considered re sewing the necessary snoo pieces into this one so I can be down to just one.Also. It’s well made. I have about 6 different hand me down swaddles that are in horrible shape. Particularly the Velcro ones. They pull, and stretch and just look awful. My daughter had one woombie that she wore for months and it still looks basically new. Wouldn’t have bought more but second baby is a boy. ;)

I ordered this as a gift. Just received word from the recipient that it is Preemie Size. It doesn't say this anywhere in the main descriptions, but I just noticed it is on the model number under product specifications! They already washed it and put it on baby, so I cannot return it. Luckily she is only 18 inches tall and weighed 6 lbs so it is barely fitting her. This product needs to put the Preemie size in it's description. Oh, and the logo is already falling off. I LOVE woombies in general, so I rated it as 4 stars as it does what it is meant to, just the sizing is not clear. And it's sold by amazon, so go figure.

We were very happy with this product. It fit our baby of 4-5lbs perfect. The material is soft and light and easily washable. We bought The regular size for an upcoming baby shower, since it was indispensable for us in helping our baby sleep.

I have 3 week old twins and I ordered this as well as a Love to Dream swaddle for comparison. At this stage both babies prefer the Love to Dream swaddle as oppose to the woombie. They both like to have their hands up and force it in the woombie which causes it to bunch up under their chins, which causes them to get frustrated. Perhaps the woombie would work better at a later stage but for now we highly recommend the Love to Dream swaddle. No bunching, good fit, calms babies!

This snuggler is very small but fit my 7 lbs baby well. Not too small but small enough to keep her hands from getting out the neck hole. She was 7 lbs and about 20 inches when I used this for her. It was a perfect fit so I couldn't use it long until she'd outgrown it. Still, worth the cost to keep my newborn happy ;)

Barely used this, neck part seems insanely too tight. She also just didn't care for being in it in general. Not worth it.
