We recommend starting the swaddle as soon as possible, even right after birth (if your baby meets the minimum weight requirement of 7 lbs). If, after a week or so, you are not seeing any improvements in your little one’s sleep, we are here to help! Below is a guide to the Zen Swaddle, with suggestions for parents at various points of swaddle use! #1 Introduce the Zen Swaddle early on

The Zen Swaddle sounds like a miracle product in theory, but of course there are some babies who do not see its benefits right away! If you are finding that your baby does not like the swaddle, or is not sleeping any better while being swaddled, try to be patient! It can take up to a week for babies to adjust to a new sleeping environment, especially if they are used to co-sleeping or sleeping in your arms. These pads provide soothing qualities and security to a sleeping baby. One main benefit of the swaddling technique is that it reduces the startle (Moro) reflex which can cause your baby to frequently wake themselves up! There are many benefits of swaddling, but our Zen Swaddle has the added benefit of mimicking human touch and the feeling of being held with three gently weighted pads that rest on your baby’s chest and sides. When used correctly, and introduced at an early age, the Zen Swaddle can be an EXCELLENT tool for helping your baby sleep longer and fall asleep quicker. The first few nights with the Zen Swaddle can be an adjustment – for you and your little one! Some babies take to the swaddle right away, and love being wrapped up and confined, while others fight the swaddle and even break free.
