I tried a cellular blanket but even as newborn he had the strength to lift his legs to vertical and untuck it so we stuck with sleeping bags. I found the Tommee Tippee ones with the extra poppers under the arms the best of the ones we tried because then it didn't ride up to his face and they stayed perfectly in place

Tommee tippee are amazing! Can swaddle them if you want but also can open up the arms - not sure what their sizing guide is but we have had 0-3 months and 3-6 months and will soon be going up to 6months +
Owns multiple sizes, calls them 'amazing': 'can swaddle them if you want but also can open up the arms'
When she was tiny we used the tommee tippee ones as they could popper her arms in like a swaddle or have them free. I think they were one of the only ones to do 0-3 months size too. It's a little tricky as some babies love swaddles and some prefer more freedom, but having options to try when you're getting no sleep is always a good thing!

I liked the Tommee Tippee grobags when ours was a newborn. The arm holes have poppers so you can either swaddle them or have their arms out.

Neither of mine liked being swaddled so they were in sleep bags from the start. Which was lucky really because they are a bit of a pain and I could do arms in or out anyway with the tommee tippee bags I had. In the summer you'll only need a 1 tog sleep bag and a vest. Then build up to vest, sleep suit and 2.5 tog bag in winter.

We have Tommy Tippee ones for another long thin baby. They have in between sizes (I think he's currently in a 3-9 month one).

I liked the tommee tippee ones. Did get a smaller sized one off Vinted which was great for my newborn.

We've been using the sweet dreamers and tommee tippee ones, they both have the benefit of having poppers on the arm holes so you can use it as a swaddle with their arms in or as a normal sleeping bag with arms out if they don't like being swaddled.

We used tommee tippee grobags to start as could be used to swaddle. It was a 0-3 and we stopped using it when she outgrew it around four months. After that we just used sleep bags from supermarkets. The matalan one seemed small for 0-6 compared to the John Lewis ones I had but it was 2nd hand so could've been shrunk in the dryer.
Used 0-3 grobag for swaddling, outgrew around 4 months then switched to supermarket bags: 'We used tommee tippee grobags to start as could be used to swaddle'
I have been using the Tommee Tippee ones and they come in a much longer version, once you're past the first size they are really long. They can be pricey but they are always on Vinted for the same price than supermarkets ones
Positive on length after first size, notes price but available on Vinted: 'They can be pricey but they are always on Vinted'
I hope someone comes along with an answer, but I'm not sure there are any that go that small. The Tommee Tippee Growbag is good, but their 0-6 month size is recommended for 7lb and up. Could you try firmly tucking in a blanket following guidance on The Lullaby Trust until LO is big enough for a sleeping bag? It's also worth noting that the weight recommendations for sleeping bags are just a guide. As long as baby can't get it over their head then you are fine. Could be worth buying one and tr

The tommee tippee ones go from 6months to 3 years. I think they are called grow bags. They are expensive but last for ages. You might get some off vinted.

Sleeping bags only for my first, and both with my second although sleeping bags more now. I definitely sleep easier with the sleeping bags but I liked the the convinence of layering blankets depending on room temp. I used large muslin blankets and cellular for that - never used anything synthetic due to risk of overheating.
