Can you wrap baby's hand inside the Sleepwrap? Our baby moves her hands and startles herself awake...

Yes you can. But since it wasn't meant for that purpose her hands may wiggle out. It is still ana amazing product!

As others have answered a swaddle blanket would be best for wrapping arms and hands. Our son startled himself awake for awhile too. This is a reflex and your baby will outgrow this stage.

You can't use just the Safe T Sleep alone for this. You need to add a swaddle blanket for that. We used Swaddle Me blanket and then added the Safe T Sleep when he started rolling over.

Yes. Just flip off the light on the top when she's finally asleep. Always keep the door cracked so it's not totally dark if she wakes up. Also, you can put a nightlight in the wall socket that comes on during the dark--it stays on all night so she can see her way. Hope this helps. Take care.

I'm with you all...just turned 8 months, sleeps like a lamb in the RnP, but is so active that she can't sleep in her crib. I'm all for letting her cry herself to sleep at this age, but we live in an apartment and I'm trying to be aware of our upstairs neighbors. Ugghhh...this is frustrating. :(

I do not think so, we just turn it away for the baby. This way it did not seem to bother her. You could cover it with dark tape, but I do not recommend that.

Given the batting is hand-tied I would imagine this would prove tempting to a toddler to untie and then you would end up with a lumpy sleeping surface. Too the ties that keep the whole rolled up might not be a good thing as a toddler could easily wrap them around their neck. I would consider an age appropriate sleeping bag first.

Yes, we did have that problem. We put it up for her to play in before we expected to use it, but she wasn't interested. Since then she has become more interest in crawling into/under/through things. So I think if your child is already at that point, if you put it up for her to play in first she probably would not mind sleeping in it later.

I actually just used the swaddle wraps that they used at the hospital and bought some more wraps from buy buy baby. They worked for me but as they get older the swaddle sheet doesn't stay in place. I have read as well that those changing pad covers work so try that.

Not very well...too big. However...we were able to tuck it pretty tight and worked well as our baby never moved around enough to loosen the sheet enough for us to be concerned.

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it. So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous. All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months. Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play. I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

No. When the baby cries or fusses, they rock themselves. :)Also when we are so tired and running in survival mode from weeks of no sleep, it's nice to lay on arm chair, plop feet in ottoman, and use hand or feet to gently rock baby in his rock and play. We loved it!!! (We don't use that much anymore because we have very tall baby and he has out grown it)

Yes - went with Safe T because the blanket wasn't integrated into the product. Our baby boy sleeps great in this and we can safely add a blanket that he can't dislodge if it is cool, but leave him blanketless if it is warm. Very happy with the product.

Hi Nathan,Sorry for the confusion here! It seems like this listing got merged with an old Sleepy Wrap listing somehow! The Boba Hoodie is a sweatshirt, not a wrap. It can be worn over a wrap or almost any other soft structured carrier out there. It is not a baby carrier, simply a cover to keep you and your child warm while babywearing. Please let me know if you have any other questions about this product and take care! Kind Regards, Leah Jeffries Boba Customer Service hi@boba.com

I didnt find it in anyway to block her face or breathing, as a pillow sleep wedge might. The neckline dippped just below her collarbone, so never any possibility of her tucking her head in and blocking breathing. I'm asssuming that's what is being asked here, since it seems SIDS risks these days focus a lot on possible blockage of airways?..Edited to add: I forgot about the temporature issue for SIDS.. we did what another person wrote, and tended to only have her in a onesie with socks most of the time, and kept the room temperature in the a stable range regardless of season. Had no problems with her being too hot, though we made a point not to put her in it when she was running a fever.

Yes we used the night and day warmer. I am thinking any warmer would probably work. We took off the top of the bottle when being warmed. Of course we mixed it around and tested it before giving it to the baby. The manufacturer said you could actually put it in the microwave but we didn't do that. Loved the bottles we even dropped them several times on hard services and they never broke. The only complaint I have is they are heavy for the baby to hold.

The new born may be too tiny for this. Second thing, some times babies will startle when you spray water on them, so the chances of slipping are a lot which is dangerous ( solution: Use a towel on top of this as it increase friction and reduces slippage)The mesh is soft enough for the new born's skin.We ended up returning ours, but got it as a gift from a friend, so ended up using it!. Folds terrible, but other wise works fine.

There is no way the baby will wriggle out of this when swaddled. The way they are reclined in the sleeper it's just not possible to do. Our 3 months old sleeps the best when swaddled in her Rock n Play sleeper! It's the best!

Yes after practicing a few times I found it easy to put on alone and now it's really quick. I snap the bottom and then use both arms to reach up and back to snap the top but to undo the top I use one arm to hold the baby and the other I reach from the back upwards to undo. It's really not bad at all. :)
