The Nest Bean Zen Sack

You know that moment you realize your child is growing out of their swaddle? I had this freak out moment and began researching what to do. Do I get a larger swaddle, is that a thing? What's next?! Little did I know what I was missing out on the first few months of Charlie's life.

Shortly after this freak out moment I came across Nested Bean. the idea of what they were promoting interested me. So, I took a further look and jumped in. I bought Charlie the Zen sack and we are NEVER going back! I only wish I knew about Nested Bean from the beginning. The Zen swaddle would have been a life saver in Charlie's early months. She was/is a hard core clinger; she always needs to feel as if she is being cuddled.

As you can see in the pictures there is a cute little bean on the front of her Zen sack that is weighted. when Charlie lays down for bed it feels as if I am holding her. It brings her that sense of security she needs to sleep all night.

We started transferring Charlie into her crib at night at about 2 months. the biggest problem we had with this was startling her as we laid her down, or startling her as we opened the door to check on her throughout the night. The weighed bean on top makes it feel as if my hand is on her chest and prevents the feeling of falling/ or startling therefore soothing her with every movement or noise. The first time we tried the Zen sack this is the first thing we noticed. We can now be those crazy first time parents checking on our baby every few hours with out every little noise startling her!

We are now and 2.5 months into using Nested Bean and as soon as we put Charlie into her Zen sack and she feels that weight on her chest she knows this means its time for bed. She settles down a lot quicker and falls fast asleep after eating. She is then transitioned right to her crib without a movement from her.

As you browse through Nested Bean you will see tons of different options. we are currently using the light weight Zen Zack for the summer. once the chilly months arrive here in Northeast Indiana we will be transitioning to the heavier Zen sack.
