The latter wasn’t a major problem, as I just needed to cover her with a muslin before I started feeding! I do tend to take her arms out towards the end of the night anyway as she normally ends the night in my bed, so I might just try doing it earlier. The product has press studs sealing in the arms at the top, and can be changed to arms out when required.

Based on the latest medical expertise, the gro-snug keeps your baby comfortable, and perfectly transitions them in to their first Grobag. This is one product that I have no hesitation in recommending time and time again now, as it worked for me and my child and gave me the peace of mind every Mama needs with a newborn. One of the reasons I love a sleeping bag is that I think it’s a really good signal to baby from an early age that it is bedtime. Additionally, when the baby is swaddled it also helps to prevent them from flailing their arms or her legs, which can trigger her startle reflex.With the Grosnug the handy guideline on the packaging advises me what to put my baby in dependant on the temperature with the Grosnug. Due to my baby having reflux and often being sick during the night, the bag has been washed several times and the material has maintained its good quality (no fading or bobbling) and it dries very quickly. I know that my baby is safe and warm enough at bedtime and that I don't need to worry or fuss with blankets. Until you try it out with your new baby, you can never tell if they like to be swaddled or not so it means you have the option for both - or can swap from one to the other in a few seconds to meet baby's needs. This would mean the baby gets used to one light around its upper body but the length could extend over time.

Being a huge fan of the Gro Company products, with already purchasing the Gro-Clock for our toddler to help with early morning waking and bedtime wind-down and Gro-Light for when my step-sons visit and for their room to be semi-lit during the night, I was overjoyed to see that they have thought of an answer to this very important area of a safe, reliable, secure sleeping bag/swaddle solution for newborns up to 12 lbs. When I heard about the GroSnug, I knew it would be a perfect addition for Baby W and it’s only about two short weeks now until I will use it. Disclosure – I was sent a products for the purpose of this Grosnug review, however all thoughts and opinions are my own. With all the excitement of a newborn entering your world, the second time around I felt like I was armed with more information about the kinds of products I wanted to use with my newborn and ones that I felt truly made a difference with my first son and those early months. I do wonder if actually just the change is unsettling and it might get better after a few nights - she's always had to sleep hands by sides and now she can have them by her face.The revolutionary 2-in-1 Swaddle and Newborn Grobag is the only bedding you will need for your newborn. Poppers on the armholes allow for swaddling with arms in or choose arms out for the freedom of a newborn Grobag. The Grosnug has a large zip that runs from top to bottom and it really was a case of popping her in and zipping her up.

Extremely easy to use with no folding needed and a long zip that opens from the bottom for nappy changes.Elenya: I struggled greatly at first getting baby into the Grosnug comfortably and with little hassle. There has been some debate about whether swadding is good for babies, so it was reassuring to know that the Grosnug has been designed with curved seams to ensure a healthy hip position. The only time we haven’t used it was during the really hot spell when he was sleeping in just a vest with a thin muslin covering him.
