Zipadee zip isn't working

LO is starting to roll over so I brought out the zipadee zip tonight. She is used to the super swaddle and usually sleeps for five hour stretches. But with the zipadee zip she's waking up every 2 hours!

I thought of putting the super swaddle technique to work inside the zipadee zip with a receiving blanket tucked around her arms. Has anyone tried this?

  • If the Zipadee Zip is a little big it may not work the best. Ours didn't do much until she grew into it more and it gave her resistance.

  • She's 4 months on the 9th. The super swaddle is really warm so the zipadee zip might need a warmer pajama underneath? When she wakes up she eats and goes back to sleep.

    Putting the super swaddle inside the zipadee zip would defeat the purpose of ditching the swaddle.  It will take a little while for your LO to adjust to not being swaddled.
    I was thinking the same thing. It sounds like you just started using it tonight so you should probably give it some time.. I haven't tried it yet since LO just turned 3 months but plan to transition around xmas time when DH is off for a week so I can nap during the day while he watch her. I'm keeping my expectations low and will assume that it will take a few days for her to adjust since we've been swaddling her tight with the swaddleme since birth.


  • It took DD a few days but now she sleeps great in the zippy. Make sure LO's hands are all the way at the end of the hand parts and they can't extend them fully. The resistance is what helps but remember it's still a transition so a few rough nights for sure!
