We researched swaddles for the newborn weeks and picked this one for the hardest part: stopping. Red Nose advises stopping wrapping as soon as a baby shows signs of rolling, and the Transition Bag's wings zip off one at a time, so you can move to arms-free sleep in the same familiar bag. Hip specialists recommend swaddles that leave the legs room to bend, so check the fit at the hips. Mumsnet's tester found Love To Dream's quality similar to ergoPouch. Trade-offs: some babies dislike arms-up, and you still need to watch for rolling and act on it.
