The Bottom Line

The Baby Bonkie Swaddling Wrap makes swaddling your baby from newborn to about four months not only very easy but very attractive. It was attractive enough that we had our baby's photo taken in hers when she wouldn't calm down for her pictures. The Baby Bonkie is also easy enough that our teen son was able to do it without instruction! Don't swaddle without it!

Guide Review - Baby Bonkie Swaddling Wrap

The Baby Bonkie Swaddling Wrap is a really glamorous and practical take on swaddling. It goes on easily and stays on tightly without much effort. You can even do it in the middle of the night after a quick diaper change. This helps keep baby calm and resting which in turn allows parents to rest as well.

Since the Baby Bonkie is really designed to be used from birth, it makes a nice baby shower present. Unlike other swaddling blankets, this one is actually really nice looking. You can choose from a variety of fabrics including minky or organic fabrics!

We started using this one when our daughter was a bit older, around two and a half months. It worked really well, even though she was a very long baby. It also fit nicely over her brace for hip dysplasia, so we used it in her stroller too. As she hit the four month mark we started loosening it at night until we finally took it away. She's still sleeping well but we're excited to try a sister product, the Sleep Sack!

I loved wrapping our baby in the Baby Bonkie. The outside fabric was very chic and the inside - minky - was so comfy my husband and I were jealous! My daughter loved being swaddled in the Bonkie and went through a time where she didn't want to sleep without it. This is a must-have for new parents.
