Has anybody been able to successfully use this swaddle blanket on a newborn who hates having her arms swaddled?

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!

Yes, my kid was like that. He hated to have his arms swaddled mostly because he would spend his time trying to get out of it. And as long as he could get a little bend in his elbow he would get frustrated and cry. This blanket solved that problem for me. It helps keep their arms straight so he didn't waste his time fighting it. The first time I put it on him he was upset, but then after that, there was no problem. Was a life saver for me...

My baby likes to sleep on his stomach which is bad bad bad but that's how heSleeps or I put him on his side with a rolled blanket behind him and in front if him to keep him from rolling over. Also I don't use blankets I use the zip ep blankets that his arms go through;0)

My LO wasn't sleeping on his stomach at the time, so he was fine with it. He outgrew it just as he started to roll on his side to sleep. I will say this, it seems like a baby would have a very hard time rolling completely over in the suit. Remember the movie "A Christmas Story" where the kid says "I can't put my arms down!" It's more like that.

It took a little doing but i got it into the chicco keyfit. But then I realized that the extra layer when I put the seat into the car isn't safe for baby. So mainly I use it as lap blanket when in the seat already or as stroller liner. It's warm and breathable so I use it all year long. Hope that helps.

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.

I would not recommend it for a newborn. I feel it is way too soft for that. The company does not recommend using it w the graco...we did use it with the graco but not till my daughter was around 8 months. There is a one inch gap between the mattress and the sides of the PNP. If you decide to order you can see how soft it is and decide (it's not technically soft but the casing is not tight enough around the core so it creates some billowing). The company has great customer service and we have many other products from them.

Yes. I have used Huggies, Pampers, Parents choice wipes with this warmer and never had an issue.

My LO. Can't stand yet but does sit and roll. We still use ours. I don't put him to bed with a blanket and it's still cold at night. His sack keeps him warm and I don't worry about his getting wrapped up in it.

Hello, it really depends on your baby's preference. My baby enjoys the wrap when the weather gets chilly and when she feels like napping. She falls asleep as soon as I start walking. When stationary, she gets cramped inside the wrap as she has somewhat grown bigger now. Another reason for her crankiness within the wrap is when the air gets too warm for her liking. Depending on each baby's comfort, I guess you can wrap your baby up as long as your baby likes it.

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.

You may want to stick with the blanket Idea. I have not found a great option for mine either. Sorry for the bad news.

Yes! We bought this when we had a newborn and an 8 month old. We could bathe the 8 mo then flip it over for the baby! I have really enjoyed it! Very soft and safe!

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.

Yes, but not with a traditional blanket swaddle. We use the Swaddle Strap with this sleepwrap on our 5 month old. They work great together.

Yes. This is loose enough for a baby to move around. It's not tight like a swaddle. My little boy has been wearing them faience he was aroun four months and he is 10 months.

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

I unfortunately can't answer this directly, b ut I can tell you all I did was put a towel under the baby each time I used it, worked fine :)
