Ruth - I suppose its always up to the person themselves, but i'll be using the Grobags myself for my own piece of mind, as you can see from my ticker .

My baby is due October, but i will be wrapping her to start with, then as soon as she is starting to wiggle and move, she is staright into the grobags. Ive got a 0.5, 1, and 2.5 tog all ready to go, just need baby heheh. I don't mind myself spending the extra on the grobag brand, as actually 10% goes back to SIDS and KIDS research. Also the grobag brands are the only ones that SIDS actually do reccomend, as they have been put through alot of product research.

Good luck, and hope you get t be holding your precious baby soon
I'm doing the same as Rach. I've only heard great things about Gro-Bags and would prefer to spend the extra $$ to get the 'real thing'. There are plenty of cheaper imitations out there but they do last bubs for quite a while so I'm personally happy to just spend the extra - for peace of mind.

I'll be swaddling our bubs until it's big enough for a Gro-Bag and I've bought a Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe wrap for the early days and if it works well, I'll buy another one. They are about $40 each.
