embéembé 2-Way Starter Baby Swaddle, Newborn Swaddle Sack, Zip & Velcro Baby Wrap, Hip Healthy, Infant, 6-14 lbs, 0-3 Months - Rust

Our daughter is in a rhino brace for hip dysplasia and this swaddle fits perfectly around it. The snaps make it so it doesn’t ride up all all. We’ve only been using about 2 weeks so can’t speak to quality yet.

Our son kept getting his arms out of the Halo swaddles we had and waking himself up. The Embe solved that for us. The design is so much better than the other swaddles we’ve seen that I’m surprised others don’t do the same thing. With his arms zipped in, he slept better (and so did we). The lighter fabric was nice as well when it was warmer.Honestly, the only problem for us was that our son is pretty tall, so we had to stop using it earlier than we would have liked.

We have used every swaddle from ergo, Halo, ollie and everyone on the market and this embe two in one is by far the easiest to put on! She doesn't wiggle out of it, it does not ride up to the neck or the face, and since you can put it between the legs instead of over the legs you can use it with hip dysplasia braces and then use it afterwards to cover the legs. Don't waste your time and money with any other swaddle this is the one! I can't say enough how great this bottle is everyone should get one that has a baby and everyone should buy one for someone that has one. They are also internationally known for wearing with hip dysplasia braces and they are hip safe certified.

I just had my first baby and purchased this swaddle before he was born. I live abroad so I have to order items before I need them. However, in this particular situation, I wish I could have waited until he was born since he likes to sleep with his arms up around his face. Unfortunately, we were not able to use this swaddle. If you are a new mom, I would advise to wait to purchase a swaddle like this until you know the preferences of your baby.However, this was a really well constructed swaddle, and the quality was great. The color looks exactly as it was pictured, and it felt so soft. I wish we could have used this, but I will try to resell or gift it to another mom.

This swaddle definitely works at keeping those arms in, especially compared to the Ollie. It’s easy to use and great for a baby who gets overheated. With that said, the quality of the materials are poor. I’ve been using it for maybe 6-7 weeks and there are already a couple holes (which isn’t a deal breaker) but sadly the Velcro in the back that keeps everything snug is losing its function. Only about 50% of it is still sticking. With all that said, it is still doing its job but not sure if will make it to the next baby. Feel like I overpaid for something that is not going to last.

We loved this swaddle. My baby slept so well using this. Super soft material and pretty color as well. I love the Velcro feature. We had to get this swaddle with double the security (zipper and Velcro) since she would Houdini herself out of the Halo swaddles we were using. This one kept her secure and was way faster to get her into - very easy to use. The only bummer is that they outgrow it so quickly since babies are only swaddled for up to 8 weeks old or until they begin to attempt to roll. I wish it was cheaper for how short of a time period it’s used.

Even though these were a little expensive I ended up loving them more than I thought. It is a slight challenge to get the zipper started with a screaming/wiggling baby but not much more so than other saddles. Once my baby was a few weeks old, he realized he loved being swaddled and would cooperate. I can leave his legs out when it’s warmer and tuck them when it is cooler. He has not been able to wiggle his arms out of this like he has with the regular swaddle me swaddles. Love it and love the grey and teal!

Honestly I was extremely excited about this swaddle, I practically waited by the door each day for it’s arrival. However after receiving my daughters embé and trying it out unfortunately there isn’t really anything I like about it which is embarrassing because I pumped my husband up for this assuring him it would be a great buy.1. The velcro is probably the most annoying thing about this swaddler. It gets stuck on EVERYTHING, and as a result of that the stitching is now coming undone. (See photos attached) I’ve had the embé for about a week and a half with one wash in the washer set on cold and hand wash, I let the embé air dry and the stitching is just all falling apart.2. My daughter can get out of this swaddle, I was originally excited about this because based on the research I did it didn’t look like baby could get out but if she’s mad enough she can get both arms completely through the top where the neck area is and honestly she doesn’t seem very comfortable in the swaddle at all however sometimes we’re lucky but she’ll only sleep in it for about an hour.3. The zipper was difficult to zip down after a few uses it’s finally gotten a tab bit easier but I still find myself getting quite frustrated with it.4. My daughter is 4 weeks old maybe the embé is a tad bit too big or something because the zipper kinda goes into her chin and if I don’t put the embé on perfectly there is excess fabric around her shoulders that looks like it could potentially suffocate her is she gets through her embé AGAIN.5. My daughter is more comfortable sleeping with her arms up, with this swaddler there is only an arms down option, she cries when I put her in the embé as if to say please let me release my arms. If you notice your baby likes to sleep with arms up, I would look into getting the “Swaddle UP” swaddler which is what I’ll be looking into next unfortunately.6. Personally I don’t see how this is supposed to be easy and fast. The zipper gets stuck the Velcro is everywhere and sticking to everything and it’s just all together annoying.If I had to say one positive thing, I like that it’s breathable and lightweight to prevent baby from overheating.****I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS BY THE WAY.But I’m so upset about this, I was definitely expecting more
