    Anyone used a woombie for 6month+ baby?

    DS is 6 months old next week and I still wrap him for his sleeps. If I don't wrap him he throws his arms around when I put him down and wakes himself up. So I was looking through the PBC expo brochure and came across the Woombie and am wondering if anyone has used one or something similar? It seems great as he does quite often wriggle himself out of his wrap, but I don't know if he is getting to old for one? Also this is the first time I have seen anything like this, so if anyone has used any other brands they can recommend that would be great.

    Thanks girls

    Yes! My DD2 loved to be wrapped, but she became too tall for the wraps I had so I bought a woombie. She loved it. She soon outgrew it so I bought an ergococoon - which IMO is better because it is identical to the woombie but cheaper - and she stayed using that until she was 14 months old.

    I used a woombie and it was THE BEST. DD was an expert at getting herself out of the tightest wraps but no more after I bought one of those babies!! Best thing ever!

    Thank you ladies i will check out the ergococoon and have to have a look and see if they will be at the expo too. I'd like to get one when I go tomorrow as they usually have decent prices for the show.

    I loved the woombie! My DD is a houdini and managed to get out of every single type of wrap I put her in, she even managed to escape the woombie but took her more time!

    My son was in a woombie until at least 7 months, possibly longer. We loved it. He looked like a gorgeous little caterpillar, hehe. For my daughter we got an ergococoon, as it was cheaper, and also organic. That one was fantastic too. My daughter is a tummy sleeper though so we ditched the woombie/ergococoon's for her earlier that with my son.

    Thanks again
    I got one today so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully he like it. They had a little girl in one as a demonstration and she looked so cute, can't wait to try it out.
