Before she was born I decided I would co-sleep and roll with whatever having a newborn brought me. I was all prepared for the sleep ups and downs of a newborn. There were some buyers that complained that the brand’s items were expensive—especially given their short shelf life (your baby won’t stay the same size forever). However, this shopper’s Nested Bean review proves why those criticisms don’t always hold up. But to my amazement she slept wonderfully right from the start. Long stretches, waking to eat only occasionally.

I wondered if it was even worth it to buy this since my baby isnine months, but the six to twelve month size has plentyof growing room. And believe it or not my baby did sleep better after I got this. As such, the quality of these products rests on how much of the caregiver’s stress is relieved by helping the baby sleep for longer. In this case, these products performed magnificently, as this parent points out in their Nested Bean review. I do want to say to those sleep deprived parents. I don’t think any product is a magic solution but this along with a good sleep routine I think goes a long way. While it has been off and on with the waking, it's definitely a lot more than it used to be. I also nurse her to sleep and was having trouble putting her down without me. Here’s another buyer review that points out how much Nested Bean’s products helped their baby sleep.We layer it over a long-sleeve footed pajama. We keep the room around 70 degrees, so Ellie always seems to be comfortable at night. Then around six months she started waking. A lot. Okay, maybe she is teething or learning a skill I thought. As I mentioned before my baby girl is a terrible sleeper. She needs all the assistance to fall asleep so I often struggle with her bedtime. I’ve tried all the possible baby sleep aids out there and none of them showed much difference.

What makes Nested Been baby sleep products different from others out there is their weighted feature.

Are Nested Bean Weighted Sleep Sacks Safe?

But I have given it more thought since then I am not sure I would have bought something like this for a newborn. LIGHTLY WEIGHTED: On the chest, to give the feeling of your reassuring palm. The weighted pad is filled with non-toxic poly beads (same as those used in children’s toys) and was created using physio-therapy standards to give just the right amount of pressure. Moms report longer sleep in 1-3 nights

MATERIAL: Made from 100% luxuriously soft cotton. Completely washer/dryer safe and BPA, toxin and phthalate free. Exceeds safety standards - 12 mandatory and 7 voluntary tests passed EASY TO USE: Two way zipper system makes midnight diaper changes a breeze. The adjustable shoulder snaps allows this wearable blanket to grow with your baby and make it the perfect swaddle transition product However, one study published by the National Association of Neonatal Nurses found that the blankets posed no risk. Are you worried about overheating and need a lightweight, breathable material? Or do you live in a cold climate where you’re worried about baby being too cold, so you’d prefer something a little warmer? I do my best to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guidelines, which rule out many comfort items in the bassinet or crib for infants such as blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals. So the thought of putting Ellie to bed with a weight on her really scared me at first — what if it weighed her down and she wasn't strong enough to roll over?I even wrote a post about when your baby only wants to sleep on you. I was okay with it though. I try to have the attitude to roll with the challenges, because as soon as you fix them your baby changes and you are on to a new issue. it has been a blessing! The first night I placed my 6-week-old daughter in the swaddle (her hands out, because that is the only way she likes to sleep) she went from sleeping 3 hours to 5 1/2 hours! I tried it the next day to see if it was really the swaddle and she slept from 2am-7am!” We went from waking every couple of hours to waking once in the early morning which is more in line with how she used to sleep. If you're deciding between the three styles offered, consider the Winter line for very cold climates or bedrooms, otherwise, the Classic and Premier options would be ideal. Most importantly, make sure you're buying the correct size for your baby so you don't get a product with a weight that is too heavy and can lead to potential suffocation.
