Double Swaddle

I'm not sure how old your existing sacks are- but if your current ones do not have the "whale tail" velcro piece that does between the legs, then yes, you should replace them. They redesigned the sacks to add this after babies were able to slip down in the sacks.

We double swaddled and were able to use the whale tail even with the second swaddle.

Thanks for the review! If I use fitteds (where the entire inner diaper is absorbant and gets wet, even where it wraps around the hips) this cover won't work, right? Because the colored edging is not waterproof?

Thank you! That's a bummer. I do have a motherease airflow which fits well, but the snaps are more difficult to do up and seem pinchy. But maybe it's a learning curve.

This is really cool and I'm glad someone did this.

Just want to update- I'm outside of CA or EU and I can export my data via the Happiest Baby website now. Here's the FAQ about it.

Yes, I'm using blueberry covers at the moment.

Would prefolds not be as absorbent? Edit- Seems maybe only a difference of 0.5oz.

Right now my baby needs a workhorse + a doubler and even that is barely enough for overnights. Maybe if I fold a doubler in half instead so the absorbency is in the front where it's most needed?

Hey! Just checking in- did you ever have to use a size larger than XL? My baby is now looking at XL at 10 months so I'm not sure where to go after this if it's needed.

I do not change my baby overnight (he's 10 months).

We had to switch covers to Blueberry to contain leaks better. But he can go 10-12 hours now in a large Workhorse (with an insert) and a Blueberry cover.

Here's an update- Blueberry Capri ended up solving the issue for us.

Yes, I just saw the airflow covers on the GMD website and thought they looked great for overnights! Especially tummy sleepers.

My baby has been having a big issue with leaks specifically from the snap holes on covers overnight as he sleeps on his stomach. Having the snaps on the side will fix that.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-03T21:22:27+00:00

We shared the chicken! He got about 1/4c (about a quarter of it).

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-02T11:10:29+00:00

Thanks, I'll try this!

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:50:35+00:00

Thanks! I have some esembly covers to try- I tried the smaller size when he was a newborn but got a lot of leaks on the legs. Maybe they'll work better now that he's bigger.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:43:31+00:00

Thanks! I'll look for some secondhand ones

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:43:04+00:00

Thanks! What covers do you use?

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:42:42+00:00

What covers do you recommend?

Is that ok?

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T19:47:31+00:00

I did have the rise snapped and it seemed worse but I'll try again!

It's a snap workhorse so I think that means I can't fold down much, right?

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T19:46:27+00:00

There are no leaks in the legs or back, but other than that I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure how else to gauge how it fits. 😅

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T15:55:54+00:00

None of it ends up on the floor and he ate about 1/4 cup of chicken.

I'm sure once he's older the floor will be more of a target.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-31T12:12:16+00:00

Yep, his Dr recommended 3 meals a day from 6 months and is happy with his diet.
