There is one weighted zone in the center of the chest and two more located on the sides near baby’s arms. The light weight built into the swaddle is made from securely sewn in ‘bean bag’ areas. The soft cotton fabric is comfortable and easy to wash. The Zen Swaddle has an inner and outer sack so you can swaddle newborns in the smaller sack, then transition to the larger until baby is six months old. It is really rather brilliant to incorporate the feeling of being touched with the comfort of a swaddle. This light pressure can help baby sleep and feel soothed. The Nested Bean Zen Swaddle is a two-size gently weighted swaddle that simulates the weight of your palm on your baby. I recently started using a Nested Bean Zen Swaddle on our new baby boy, and he seems to really like the gentle pressure as well. My first son loved being swaddled so tightly, we used two at a time! He would have been a great candidate for a weighted swaddle. I’ve gone through a huge number of infant swaddles since we wear through several with each baby. I like to set up a baby station in our family room and camp out on our couch for the early weeks. For some people, the best sleep setup is a separate nursery and monitor, for others a co-sleeping arrangement works better. My approach to newborn sleep (and new mom sleep) has always been Do What Works for you. Good sleeper? Well, that is all relative. The first two questions I get whenever I have a new baby are “how old?” and “is he a good sleeper?” A new baby always seems to equal more sitting around, yet far less rest.

We recently welcomed another baby into our household. * Swaddle provided by Nested Bean for reviewing purposes.
