Swaddling or the practice of wrapping babies in snug blankets has proven to be very useful regarding providing extra safety and comfort. Numerous research and studies have revealed that swaddled babies are calmer and sleep longer. This is because swaddling mimics the comfortable womb-like environment that makes them feel more safe and secure. It’s also noted that swaddling effectively reduces colic instances and the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
Upon learning about the benefits of swaddling, I continuously researched the topic and had made myself familiar with what seasoned moms think of swaddling. After consistently sharing about our pregnancy journey across social media, The Ollie World gifted our family with one of their products to check, test and try. While our little one isn’t here yet, both my hubby and I are still quite excited to see the features of this swaddle.
The Ollie Swaddle – Sky is designed with the baby’s safety and comfort in mind. It is built with moisture-wicking fabric that can reduce the risk of overheating and SIDS. It’s very soft and quite elastic which is great as it allows freedom of movement without the risk of the baby getting out of the swaddle completely.
It has a good strong Velcro that allows fit to be individualized to meet the size and need of the baby. It also allows the swaddle to grow along with your precious bundle of joy, so there’s no need to buy another swaddle as the baby grows larger or taller. What makes this swaddle even more unique is that it has an opening at the bottom for a diaper change. This completely eliminates the need to completely remove the swaddle whenever it is time to replace our little one’s diaper. Fantastic right?
The Ollie World Swaddle is very straightforward to use too. As a soon-to-be-mom who has no prior experience in swaddling, I am confident that I can do the “swaddle wrap” with ease. There is no complicated arm restraints, steps or instructions. To top it all, it also comes with its own laundry bag too. So parents don’t have to worry about the Velcro sticking with the rest of the laundry.
I am really excited to put The Ollie Swaddle to work very soon. I am truly looking forward to providing our little miracle that safe and comfortable feeling, just like how he feels inside my womb right now.

September 5, 2017This is a really cute swaddler, and I love how easy it looks to use! Neither of my boys liked being swaddled and would fight to get their way out of the snug swaddles the experts (labor and delivery nurses, lol) put them in as quickly as possible. I know a lot of babies prefer the cocoon sensation though.

September 5, 2017What a great product. I wish they had stuff like this when my children were little! I do know a few ladies who are about to be mothers though that would appreciate this! Would make a great baby shower gift.

September 5, 2017This is my first time to learn about this swaddle. I am researching about things to give as a gift for our colleague who will soon give birth and I guess this is a nice idea. I am sure she doesn’t have this one yet.

September 7, 2017These do look like very cool swaddles for babies. I know as a parent how scared I was of SIDS when my daughter was younger, and it’s great to know they have things like this that help.

September 7, 2017When my kids were babies I never used a swaddler but now days they are used all the time. The Ollie Swaddle sounds awesome with the velcro and is indeed easy to use. Thanks for sharing the review.

September 7, 2017I struggled with swaddling, my boy just hated it and seemed to always get himself out, but I know lots of people this worked for.

September 7, 2017I loved swaddling my baby.But,before I swaddle him first time,I had to practice it again and again.With the option of velcro this seems like a good product specially for first time moms.I hope velcro part doesn’t hurt the baby…
