Swaddling works wonders for soothing and boosting baby sleep – until it doesn’t. Suddenly your little Houdini is breaking one hand out, and two and before you know it every limb is flailing about in the crib. What’s next? Start with a swaddle wrap that keeps arms in thanks to snaps or Velcro and then transition to a wearable blanket or sleep sack. Here are 9 of our favorites. Sleep well!

Weight for It

The Nested Bean Zen Sack is unlike any other and it may even help your baby catch more Z's. A small weighted pouch, that rests on your baby's chest, gives your baby an added sense of security - it's designed to mimic the sensation of your touch. Shoulder snaps and a two way zipper make getting in and out, and doing diaper changes a cinch. Not quite to the sleep sack stage yet? Go for the Zen Swaddle ($29.99), which also wraps your baby's arms and secures with Velcro.

Available at nestebean.com, $34.99.
