At 4 months my daughter decided 45 minute naps were long enough. I however disagreed and thus began my search for tips, tricks, and tools that would help her sleep longer. I tried patting her back, rocking her, swaddling her but nothing worked until I found the Woombie. Her first nap in the woombie lasted over 2 hours long!
The Woombie is a swaddler made of a cotton and spandex blend encouraging baby to softly stretch extremities as needed, just like in the womb. The Woombie comforts, softly confines arms & gently compresses baby’s unique curves to hug baby… preventing startling issues, face scratching, overheating.
The Woombie is also a great alternative to loose blankets preventing dangerous situations where the blanket could cover a baby’s face.
My daughter loves the original but for babies that NEED their arms out they also sell a convertible swaddler that allows for arms in, one arm in, or both out depending on what your child wants. There is also a leggings version available which is great for use in bouncers, swings, and strollers. A convertible leggings version will be out in September for maximum customization for your child. The Woombie is available in over 25 different colors and styles.
The Woombie retails between $27 and $29 but right now you can find them as low as $12 in the clearance section of Woombie’s site.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Woombie, Bentley hates being swaddled though, he sleeps best when he has his hand up near his head
