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. For the 15 to 24 month size, the weight is evenly distributed across the chest (or back, depending on how you use it). Ellie is a tummy sleeper and was starting to roll on her own, so we actually put the Zen Sack backward so that the weight is on her back when she sleeps - which the brand says is fine to do for babies who are starting roll. There is also a two-way zipper that starts under one armpit and follows the outside seam around to the opposite bottom corner it's a nice feature for middle-of-the-night diaper changes.įor the smaller sizes (12 months and under), the weight is concentrated in an oval on the baby's chest. The top snaps at the shoulders with a looser and tighter option. The material is really soft, and it's simple to get the sack on and off. We keep the room around 70 degrees, so Ellie always seems to be comfortable at night. We layer it over a long-sleeve footed pajama. The Premier is also made with a blend of bamboo and cotton, while the Classic and Winter are both 100% cotton.
The higher the TOG, the warmer the sleep sack. The brand also offers swaddles, bodysuits, and footie pajamas with the same weighted feature.įor the Zen Sack, there is a Classic, Premier, and Winter version, each with a different TOG, or thermal insulation. The Zen Sack is a sleep sack, or wearable blanket, that comes in many sizes - 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 15 to 24 months. Gone are the days of hovering and patting until I'm sure she's completely asleep. The Zen Sack has a very light weight made out of non-toxic poly-beads that actually mimics the feeling of my hand on her back.
When I decided to try the Nested Bean Zen Sleep Sack, it made putting Ellie to bed so much easier. It was a time consuming and exhausting process. Before I had the Nested Bean Zen Sleep Sack, I would keep my hand on her back until I was sure she was asleep, then I would very, very slowly lift my hand off her back so she wouldn't notice the difference. I have no problem rubbing and patting her back to comfort her, but it becomes a problem when her eyes would pop wide open the second I take my hand away. For my daughter Ellie, one thing that always seems to do the trick is gently patting her back. Stand on my head while singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" backwards? You got it. Parents of babies and toddlers will do almost anything to get their kids to sleep.
