Halo Micro-Fleece Sleepsack

These are hands down the best swaddles, but make sure you get the 2-way zipper! The one way zipper is not as good quality, and makes middle of the night diaper changes much harder.

Love these swaddles but I have another halo swaddle that has a double zipper and expected this would have one too.

We've used Halo for all three of our babes. It has been the best and only swaddle all of our babies like!

I was initially hesitant to buy this because some reviews say it’s different than the newborn size. That was not the case.I was gifted the newborn size and my 2.5 month baby is just about too long for it so for the last two weeks I’ve been trying to figure out what to do next because some reviews said they loved the newborn size but the small was different. I should have just bought the small size because I ended up with two other swaddles that I’ve since had to return in the interim.I’ve attached photos showing the two next to each other (the peach one is the newborn size) and as far as I can tell the only difference is the small size has two zippers and zips from bottom to top.My baby doesn’t like to be swaddled but she needs to be...she basically just hates sleeping and is super active. The reason I swaddle her is because she likes to play with her hands and keep herself awake. She cries if I swaddle her arms down but if I put them up by her chin like she’s praying that’s our compromise. She usually pulls her right arm out within a few minutes so if you need a swaddle that’s more constricting this might not work unless you swaddle arms down. All I’m going for is it distracts her while she’s fighting to escape but the fight wears her out and she ends up asleep one arm in and one arm out. Whatever works, right?The reason I like this swaddle best in the end is that no matter what extreme wiggling she does it in, it never rides up over her face. I had the zippadee zip because I thought that would work best since she ends up with at least one arm out in the end anyway but it would keep her from playing with her hands...thank goodness I tried it out while I was still awake because she raised her arms up over her head and it covered her nose up. Anyway, this works to prevent her from keeping herself awake as much as I can reasonably hope for without risking suffocation so it’s a mom win in my book.From a quality standpoint the newborn size took many washes and stretching easily and shows no signs of wear and both my baby and my friends’ baby used it for a total of probably 5-6 months. The small size has only gone through 1 wash and a few nights so far but all looks good. I will update my review if that changes so assume all is well if I don’t.PS - I don’t really use the zip from the bottom to change a diaper feature because as soon as I touch her she wakes up...but maybe a good concept for a baby that sleeps more soundly!

Our little one loved being swaddle! But she kept finding her way out of her blanket each night so we switched to a halo sleepsack swaddle and it was perfect because even when she started sneaking her arms out there was never a worry about the blankets getting around her face. Now that we are transitioning to life without a swaddle I’ve found the one arm and two arm out options to be great. We started with just one arm out and within a couple of days we were ready for both arms out. I figured we stop at this point for a little while until we transition to the actual sleepsack. As a third time mom I’d highly suggest this!! It’s great for peace of mind.
