Has anybody used this if the baby is swaddled? Would this product still be effective?

I gave this as a present. They did that few times and it seemed to work. They even put a bassinet on top of the mattress and it still worked. Don't know more details.

My baby wasn't swaddled when we began using this but I believe it will work with swaddling. It's highly sensitive and has worked great for us. I don't like the flashing light on it that indicates breathing/movements and I wish there was a better solution for the alarm. We can't hear it across our apt with the doors closed to each room but we can hear it through the monitor.

Still works great if baby is swaddled. Love this monitor. Not 1 false alarm. The added piece of mind can't be measured!

Yes and it works. You can test by turning it on with the baby in the crib and then removing the baby. The alert will sound.

I'm not positive, but I would think so. It is VERY firm.....not soft and plushy where a baby could roll into a fold and smother. I would not try to lie a newborn actually on the pillow....would be afraid they would roll off. If you wanted to use it for a "stop" to keep a baby on a bed or something, I think it would work fine to prevent baby from falling. You would just have to try it and stay close until you are sure it's doing the job you want it to. Good Luck.

We didn't have any trouble, but we tried it in the 6-9months size only so he wasn't in it right after swaddling. We first stopped putting it on during naps occasionally and then all the time followed by bedtime. He is now in a sleep sack as an extra layer and his sleep pattern has not changed.

I would not put it on a tummy sleeper. Once my baby started rolling over, it would leave a little red mark on his tummy or it would fall off. I used it until he started rolling over, and now I use the under the mattress monitor instead.

I would say yes bc how often do you actually catch your child before it gets squished into their diaper. I wouldn't CD without this. I've tried and it wasn't pretty.

Yes, my little girl hated having her arms in a normal swaddle blanket and would always manage to squirm them out the top no matter how tight we wrapped it. This swaddler made it impossible for her to do that, which she quickly realized, and actually calmed her down. Hope this helps!

This would not be good for tummy sleepers. I'm guessing you would have a lot of false alarms because it wouldn't be able to sufficiently detect your babies movement from breathing if it's pressed up against the mattress. It still works for my daughter who likes to sleep on her side though.

You cold use it, the problem is if you do not change the diaper in all the night, you could irritate the skin of the baby, if you change it every three or four hours then it is fine.

No. I would not say the sleep sack is for this purpose, nor would it help. In my experience some babies /toddlers are just "climbers" and a Sleep sack would not deter them nor prevent.

I actually use it with a receiving blanket on top. We started this because baby was born when is was still chilly out and we didn't want her to get cold. It works out really well - if she pees or poops it's a cinch to just throw the blanket in the wash and throw a new one on. That said, I haven't found it to get sticky at all on hot days.

I love this product, it gives me peace of mind at night! Our baby was premature as well but not as premature as yours... Make sure when you clip on the Snuza that you fold over the diaper before clipping it on otherwise you will have false alarms!

I used it for my newborn grandson - just place a hand towel over the edge and along a portion of the bottom to minimize slipping. It worked fine.

We used it like a bassinet. It's very sturdy and cradles the baby, offering cozy comfort. A much older baby who is fighting sleep may require the restraints , but otherwise, I don't think so. We loved ours and have given them as gifts to very grateful friends.

I suppose it could work if the baby is quite small. It's thick enough but it is rather shallow. Hope that helps.

This doesn't so much clean the air as it reduces bothersome odors. To get the best results, you would have to position it close to the face, and your baby may not like it. I would probably give it a try and see how he/she tolerates it

It's best to use for an infant that is at least 3 months old. I tried using it for my son when he was two weeks and he kept sliding down the cushioned support making it difficult to wash him.

I put my baby in it a week or two before she turned three months. It was a little big but worked. Before that I would swaddle her with a halo sleep sack.
