Baby Deedee Sleep Nest ~ The Baby Duvet Sleeping Bag Review & Giveaway

Posted by Jenna | Thursday, January 05, 2012



All three of my kids were born in the month of November, which means cold weather here in the Midwest. As hard as I try to keep the thermostat at a comfortable temperature, it always seems that the baby room is cooler than the rest of the house. I was always concerned they were not cozy or warm enough, which is why I often swaddled them or dressed them in layers (onesies and fleece long-sleeved jammies). Unfortunately neither of these things helped much. I wondered if maybe the layering caused them to feel too warm, and as for the swaddling... they soon began to kick off the blankets which led me to then be concerned about loose blankets in their crib.

When our third baby, Caysen arrived in November... I was hoping to find a better solution to keeping him warm, cozy and secure so he could sleep more soundly. That's when I was introduced to the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest and am so happy I was!
The idea for the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest was born when mom and founder, Dominique, had her son in September 2008. She wanted him to feel cozy and secure so he would sleep more soundly, which led her to search for a sleep sack in a cocoon-like shape, with a soft cotton exterior and filled with light, breathable, plush duvet quilting. After much searching, she found that there weren't any comfy, well-designed versions that matched the vision she had. That's when she decided to design her own and nine months later... the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest was born!

Features/Benefits:

  • available in multiple colors
  • available in sizes small (0-6 months), medium (6-18 months) and large (18-36 months).
  • Can be used in place of loose blankets
  • Quilted duvet material for extra layer of warmth
  • Cotton exterior & lining for pure comfort for maximum breathability
  • Comforting cocoon shape
  • Shoulder snaps make it easy to put on and take off
Needing something like this for my baby boy, I was excited to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review one. Would the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest be the solution I've been looking for?! The answer, is yes!
When the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest arrived, I was already impressed with the way it comes packaged. I love when companies take the time to package their products with such care and though it was presented in a way that would make it great for gift-giving!
Of course, I couldn't wait to check out the actual product. Pulling it out of the package, I was happy to find that it's made extremely well. The quality is fantastic and something I know will last us a long time. I love how soft it is, and the fact that it's made with a material that will keep a baby warm enough, while not making them too warm thanks to the breathable fabric. It's perfect! I also love the color! The khaki is neutral and something that would work perfectly for a boy or a girl. They have 6 color choices to choose from...all of which are absolutely adorable in my opinion!

We have been using the Sleep Nest with Caysen and have been really happy with how well it works. No longer do I have to worry about loose blankets in his bed. Worn over his regular sleepwear, the quilted-duvet helps keep him warm, while making sure he doesn't get too warm!

One neat feature that I really like is that the shoulders snap. This makes it easy to get The Sleep Nest on and off, even when Caysen is already sleeping. There's also a zipper which goes from the bottom up and has made diaper changes quick and easy.

The fact that it's sleeveless and bigger on the bottom ensures that Caysen is able to move freely and comfortably too!

Caring for The Sleep Nest couldn't be easier. Simply machine wash cold inside out with like colors and tumble dry on low. It comes out looking great!

Overall we've been really happy with the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest. The quality is fantastic, and it has given me peace of mind knowing that he's not too cold (and not too hot), and that he will not pull a loose blanket over his face. It really seems to help him sleep more soundly which means a more restful night's sleep for all! This is definitely a product I'd recommend to parents with little ones.
