My 5 lb 7 oz week old refuses to sleep in the Nanit swaddle. Every time we put it on her she wiggles and cries. As soon as we put her in the Halo sleep sack she falls right asleep but then can’t be monitored. What should we do?

    @DFey Im sorry that your baby doesnt like the Nanit swaddle. You could try using the Love to Dream swaddle with the Nanit Breathing band around her tummy. Unfortunately, we cant recommend a 'hands down' swaddle with our breathing band since she might inadvertently push the band up over her face, but since the Love to Dream swaddle goes under her arms, its a good option for babies who dont like our Nanit swaddle. Please remember too that our breathing wear products are designed for babies over 6lbs.

    It’s probably because the zipper is sticking your little one in the ear. I’m having the same problem with my 2 week old. I believe the zipper on the side, all the way up the shoulders is a very bad design. Nanit should make one with a zipper up the front.

    Man I’m so disappointed my newborn also does not like the Nanit swaddle! I’m having the same issue! I’ll try the love to dream swaddle but Nanit should definitely redesign this swaddle
