I want to get Chiara a swaddling wrap to help keep her arms in in the hammock (we use a Safety Sleep in the cot) and I like the look of the Merino Kids Coccoi ( http://www.thesleepstore.co.nz/shop/New+arrivals/Cocooi+babywrap+%26+beanie+pack.html - http://www.thesleepstore.co.nz/shop/New+arrivals/Cocooi+babywrap+%26+beanie+pack.html ) but for $70 I could get two of the cotton Swaddleme wraps. Has anyone tried the Coccoi? Are they worth it? And would they fit a bigger baby, coz the guidelines say up to 5kg but they are stretchy... -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

wow, they're pretty expensive for something that is only up to around 2months of age.?? They do look cute though~!
I found that as long as you had a 'big enough' peice of fabric (e.g. cotton or merino) that baby stayed pretty well inside the wrap for that age anyway... it was from about 3/4months up that they would get their arms out easier. You can get quite large merino swaddling wraps on trademe I think... around $40? that would last you longer...? I always wrapped with babies arms down by their sides and it was important to get a 'tight' wrap to keep them snuggled... then of course as he got out of wrap all the time, we created the Peke Moe :) ------------- Gina, Reef 15/6/03, Tyde 12/2/07 http://www.pekemoe.co.nz - Peke Moe - Unique NZ Made Baby Sleeping bags for babies who get out of swaddle/wrap |

Congrats Emma! (I haven't been on here in ages!)
You've probably already made your decision, but a friend from my coffee group raved about her sons'. It was stretchy and he outgrew it recently at about four & half months (he was prob about 7kgs). I can't remember what she chose to replace it. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Actually I think she found a material at spotlight which had a similar stretch, and was going to make her own. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Teehee, I have to agree with her - they are awesome! I ended up buying two of them and they are great, easy to use and seem to keep her arms in while still giving her enough freedom to wriggle around a bit. I think they will fit for ages too coz they are really long. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Lily kicks out of hers at the moment but she wears the hat all the time! I have a miracle blanket from the sleep store which is great and a much better wrap IMO  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
