SwaddleDesigns Baby Transitional Swaddle Sack, Arms Up Elbow Length Sleeve Wearable Blanket - Heathered Gray - 3-6m

The SwaddleDesigns Transitional Swaddle Sack® is the easiest and safest way to transition baby from a snug swaddle. It features Little Sleeves with a Big Purpose™. When parents close the mitten cuffs on the half-length sleeves, the uniquely-shaped sleeves provide partial suppression of the Moro (startle) reflex which helps baby sleep better, and if baby rolls over on to tummy, baby can use their arms to push torso up and reposition their head to get access to air for safer sleep. When baby shows signs of starting to roll over, it’s time to stop swaddling with arms fully restrained inside a classic swaddle, but when baby doesn’t sleep well in a sleeveless wearable blanket due to still having a strong startle reflex causing awakenings, the Transitional Swaddle Sack is the ideal safer sleep solution. Foldover mitten cuffs may be worn open or closed. It’s best to start with both cuffs closed for partial suppression of Moro (startle) reflex. For older babies who want to pacify on their hand, one cuff can be opened so baby can self-soothe. For even older babies (typically 4-6 months or older) whose Moro reflex has faded, both cuffs can be opened and the TSS converts to a sleeping sack with no Moro suppression. The lower section of the sack supports baby’s legs in a natural flexed position while still allowing room to stretch. Recognized as Hip Healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. The innovative 2-way zipper has two zipper pulls – one at the neckline and one at the foot of the sack. Zips down from the neckline to easily place baby in the sack. Zips up from the feet for easy diaper changes. The easy to use, award-winning and patented design created by a nurse delivers better sleep and safer sleep for baby. US Patents 11,812,795 and D883613.
