We bought one (a Safe T sleep) thinking we'd use it from day one, but haven't used it yet! Will probably use it once Ashlee outgrows her bassinet and goes into her cot. She seems to settle perfectly fine just being wrapped securely in a blanket for now.

I think they are gimmics!! Paige got out of everything after 3 months. I tried both of them. (only cause Mum got given them so thought I would try).


A good wrap and swaddling is what I used successfully with Paige..calmed her down, kept her warm. Apparently makes them feel nice and secure and stops them scratching their faces too!]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2006 09:14:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=63094&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#63094 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=63036&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#63036 Author: Kazzle

Safe T Sleep, used it from 7 months for the same reason as Nikki, to secure the monkey and stop her standing up.

I had a wedge and a safe-t sleep.
Didn't try the wedge at all but ended up using the safe-t sleep when Han was about 9 months old to stop her standing up in her cot... as she would stand up and scream and scream and scream... if she was secured then she just drifted off.

Phased it out at about 1 year old, but she still sleeps better if she has that "secure" feeling.

You just have to make sure you use them properly otherwise babe can get tangled (Some babies are just far too wriggly for them) but was a god send for me!!!]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 17:45:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=62967&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#62967 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=62963&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#62963 Author: katie1

I'm a fan of the Safe-T-Sleep too. We got one for Ella when she moved into her cot because she was moving all over the show and getting limbs stuck in the bars. She slept heaps more soundly once she got used to wearing it.
We've recently re-employed it to stop her falling out of her big bed, and its just as effective!]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 17:06:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=62960&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#62960 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=62940&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#62940 Author: Syd

I've got a safety sleep, and it rocks!!! Jacob is a "traveller" and travels up his cot, out of his blankies, and wakes. I also felt comfortable sleeping him on his side in it, and we have a perfectly round head. We stopped using it about 2 months ago, when he discovered how to undo it, and was standing up in his cot anyway. I will go back to it, and use safety pins to keep it shut when he goes to "big boy bed". i also found it great if we went anywhere, I could put him in a "big bed" and feel safe about it.]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:24:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=62933&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#62933 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3335&PID=62932&title=safe-t-sleep-wedges#62932 Author: Kellz
