Nested Bean Zen Sack® Classic | Gently Weighted Sleep Sacks | Baby 0-24M | Infant Swaddle Transition | Aids self-Soothing

Great for transitioning my son to his own bed. The weighted patch provides much needed comfort and this can easily be flipped for those stomach sleepers. Now that my son is a little older, diaper and clothing changes is like wrestling an alligator. The zip and snaps on this allows for less wrestling than some of the other sleepers we’ve used, especially since you don’t have to contort their limbs into small holes in order to get this on them.

I love the 2way design on the 2 zippers. It helps for easy access for diaper changes. This sleep sack is soft & comfortable for our baby. I would like for the weighted section to cover a larger area, but its not a deal breaker.

My 4 months old son at two months was going to sleep around 9, waking up at 3 and sleeping till 6...then his bed time was moved up because he started napping at 6 and not wanting to wake up after for his normal 8/9 p.m. feed so we started putting him to sleep at 7, which for some reason completely screwed up his night time routine. I had just went back to work and he was waking up not only to eat 2-3 times at night, but shortly after going to sleep he would wake up for no apparent reason. I was waking up some nights 5 times so I was desperate to try anything to help.I was aware of this product and always wondered if it would work for us, and honestly did not want to spend another $40 on a gimmick. Well, one sleepless night I logged onto Amazon and decided to buy the Zen sack. As soon as it came, we tried it that night. Well, nothing happened. He still woke up multiple times that night and the night after that and the night after that. I told myself that it did not work but I let him still wear it on top of his regular swaddle sack (the one with the arms up) because it was starting to get chillier at night. lo and behold exactly a week later, something happened. He went to sleep at 7 like always, and woke up at 12:30 a.m. like he did on his good nights and I fed him, but then he slept from 12:30 a.m. until 3, cooed for a bit, then went back to sleep ON HIS OWN until 7. Let me tell you, we did not change anything in our routine, and as much as I want to take credit for this miracle, it has nothing to do with me. But you might say, well one night means nothing. I agree. So the next night, I put him down at 7 like always, he woke up at 1:30 (again similar to what he did on his good nights) and then I nursed him and put him back to sleep and he slept....until 7 again! well third night came and at this point I am happy but nervous that these past beautiful nights of uninterrupted 5 hours of sleep might change, but yep, he did it again....woke up at 1, nursed, and then slept until 7.Sooo is it coincidence that a week after he started wearing the Zen sack he went from waking up multiple times a night to only once? maybe. But I really think this works. Will it work for you? maybe/maybe not but if you are as sleep deprived as I was, it is certainly worth the try, and hey, if it does nt work , it is a nice/cute sleep sack for your baby. Good luck!

If you’re looking for a thick sleepsack, this is not the one! It is pretty thin

Super adorable and great quality. The adjustability is awesome and it’s easy to put on. It’s impossible to say whether it helped our little guy, but he certainly didn’t mind it. We used this as we nervously transitioned out of the swaddle, and the transition was easier than I had feared it could be - again, I don’t know if this sack was the trick or if our little just didn’t mind losing the swaddle.The downside for me was that we very quickly had to stop using it. When our son started rolling over in his sleep, he would spend a couple hours on his back and then switch to his stomach, so there was no way to position the sack so he wouldn’t be lying on the weight at some point. He didn’t seem to care when he was lying on it, but it sure didn’t seem comfortable or super safe, so we took the sack away. He had no reaction/disruption in sleep when taking the sack away, so on the plus side, it might be easy to transition out of, but on the negative side, I really don’t know whether he ever noticed the weight in the first place.As a formerly (very) sleep deprived momma, I say you might as well give this a shot because it’s 2am or 4am or 11pm and here you sit again scouring Amazon for something that might help. Even if it doesn’t, at least it gives you some hope, right? Hang in there, parents. You’ll make it. (I also recommend the book Precious Little Sleep to all my new mom friends - the only baby sleep book I was actually able to read in my sleep deprived state. My 16-month-old is now a good sleeper despite it not coming naturally to him - or me! - and we didn’t have to let him cry it out. There is no miracle solution, but a lot of information about baby sleep you really need to help your baby learn this skill, plus several methods so you can try what feels right for your parenting style. There’s a blog by the same name you can check out before buying the book. I promise I am not paid to sell this book - it just was the thing that actually helped our baby finally get a good sleep routine.)

The good:1. It’s good quality, the stitching has held up my son has wore it nightly since January2. It’s medium thickness. Thicker than a cotton t-shirt3. My son likes to feel the little beans in the chick on the front as he falls asleep. It’s become a comfort thing for himThe ok:1. It does not make my baby sleep any longer. With it without it there’s no difference, that was a bummerThe would be better if:1. There’s only a zipper down the left side. It would be super helpful to have it down both sides. When im feeding in the middle of the night I like to zip down to check if he’s too hot or cold, and peek in the diaper to make sure there isn’t any poop (let’s be honest…some farts you’re questioning if more came out with it lol, and at 3am in the dark you want a quick answer versus 10 smell tests). If he’s on the left side of me nursing I can, if he’s on the right side I can’t. When I lay him on the changing table and start messing with him to check he fully wakes up. I would love to keep rocking, keep nursing, and be able to zip it down to see into the diaper from both sides.

At first my baby didn’t like the sleeping sack (2.5 months) he felt trapped and cried. He was sleeping not more than 6 hours at a time. So I waited until he turned 3 months before trying again and he seemed to sleep well. He sleeps approximately 11hours, it started a few days after he wore the nested sack. I didn’t try putting him to sleep without it at night. However my daughter at his age(3.5 months) slept already 12 hours a night without any sleep sacks. So I am not sure if it’s a coincidence or it really works. The sack itself is very soft and comfortable. Easy to use. The only thing is I only have one so I wash it a lot and it’s starting to curl up a little on the edges. I only used it for about 3 weeks. Hopefully it lasts.

I’m so glad I ordered this! This helps my little one go down more quickly at night and also to stay asleep more consistently and have a better quality sleep.

I was skeptical at first but it worked like a charm on the second night. It worked so well that we had to keep getting up at regular intervals to check on the baby and yes, he was sleeping. It was odd going from waking up every couple of hours to sleeping almost through the entire night...like overnight. Totally worth it.

My boy is long he’s 4 months.. and fits well In this size. He sleeps okay up twice a night for a feed. some babes might do better. It all depends on the babe and what they like. But I would recommend this product to transition out of a swaddle.

This seems to be helping baby settle and fall asleep. It doesn't seem to stop her from rolling over but the calming effect is good for bedtime. She is sleeping through most of the night for now. The fabric is soft and cozy for baby as well.
