Love Dream Dramatically Preferred self Soothing Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "This swaddle works great at keeping her contained and comfortable."
• "Both kids seem to enjoy it as they have the ability to move their arms more than in a swaddle but it’s still tight enough to keep them calm."
• "The Love to Dream swaddle hugs her sides and middle section perfectly to make her feel tight and secure."
• "This swaddle is nice and soft and gives her a little bit of freedom to move her hands."

Cons:

• "But she continued to whack herself in the face and cry."
• "The zipper is super tight around the chest and my baby is only 6 pounds 13oz."
• "It just didn’t settle him the way arms down does. The fabric is super thin and stretchy."
• "Her arms are restricted in a sort of crunched position."

Effectiveness in Soothing and Sleep Improvement

Pros:

• "Our baby LOVES to have her arms up...this swaddle saved my sanity, it was truly a life saver."
• "It’s also super soft and durable."
• "He sleeps so much better in it and if he stirs he will usually be able to put himself back to sleep."
• "My baby didn’t like being swaddled and not being able to move her arms...we purchased this and she was WAY more comfortable."

Cons:

• "The only thing that would make this better would be a feature that would allow us to free his arms without removing the swaddle."
• "Unfortunately, he was able to whack himself in the face, knock his pacifier out, etc. while wearing this and wouldn't stay asleep for more than ten minutes at a time."
• "My son loves to sleep with his hands up but his startled reflex was very sensitive and he would end up waking himself up."
• "Unfortunately this swaddle still sets off my baby's startle reflex, it really sucks because he loves sleeping in the arms up position."

Material Quality and Maintenance

Pros:

• "The fabric is very nice and soft."
• "The material is so soft and has already been washed several times and still looks brand new."
• "Ordered the medium size and find it to be stretchy, breathable, nommable, and has ample room at the bottom for baby's height."
• "The fabric of the sleep sack is soft, gentle, and breathable."

Cons:

• "Only downside is the wings get soaked when baby self soothes so it needs washed a lot."
• "My only possible complaint is I wish they came in different fabric choices; the plain cotton one is perfect for warmer months but now that it’s December it would be nice if there was a slightly warmer option."
• "I wish it worked better especially for the price."
• "I like the quality and the concept of baby’s arms being up for soothing purposes however, our baby is a very active sleeper and this just didn’t do well for us."
