Swaddle baby in the naturally preferred Arms-Free (Fetal Flex) position – FX (Fetal Flex) Swaddle

The FX (Fetal Flex) Swaddle is the only swaddle that emulates the natural essence of the womb environment by swaddling your baby in the naturally preferred Arms-Free (Fetal Flex) position, while still suppressing the Startle (Moro) reflex.

Similar to the womb environment, the FX Swaddle provides your baby optimum comfort and feeling of security, promotes better development and self-soothing, while minimising spontaneous awakenings – helping your baby sleep better and longer, and makes transitioning out of the swaddle easier!

Additionally, with the built-in 3-in-1 arm positions (Arms-In, Arms-Free, and Hands-Out), the FX Swaddle provides a gentler way to transition your baby from ‘womb to world’, and from 'swaddle to sleeping bag'.

It is important to get the correct size for the swaddle to work effectively and for safety of your little one. Use the sizing info below to work out the correct size for your baby. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any help.

How many swaddles do I need?

We recommend purchasing at least two FX swaddles per size. Consider getting an extra spare for added convenience, as babies can be messy with leaking nappies and spitting up milk.

One to wash, one to wear, and one to spare!

Dressing Guide

Standard Weight FX swaddle is made from a single layer of 0.5 Tog (approx) breathable organic cotton fabric to reduce the risk of overheating. It is suitable for all year round use. Dress baby underneath the swaddle as appropriate for the nursery temperature:

In cooler temperatures, dress baby in warmer layers underneath the swaddle as appropriate.
In warmer temperatures, dress baby in lighter layers underneath the swaddle as appropriate.
During summer, it may be sufficient to dress baby in just the swaddle and nappy.

Please note, all babies are all different; additionally, other factors such as humidity in your region, whether there is heating in the house, and your baby's health (whether your baby has a cold or infection or another special need) can determine how you should dress your baby.

Dress your baby to be comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold. Feel your baby's chest regularly to check his/her temperature. Don’t worry if baby’s hands, face, and feet feel cool - this is normal. If your baby is sweating or has a red face, remove some clothing and. This may be necessary if your baby is unwell, in which case you should seek medical attention.

Safe Swaddling Tips

Always sleep baby on the back, not on the tummy or side.
Do not use swaddle if head can pass through the neck-hole or if neck-hole is too tight.
If your baby is attempting to roll from back to tummy during sleep, discontinue swaddling (you can use our 365 Sleep Bag V3, or the X-TEND Sleepsuit instead), or swaddle only with baby’s hands completely free/out. Babies should be able to move their arms freely to push their face off the bedding surface if they happen to accidentally roll from back to tummy. As a general guide only: babies can roll from tummy to back during playtime first, then followed by being able to roll from back to tummy during playtime, and soon followed by being able to roll from back to tummy during sleep.
Always follow safe sleep recommendations from Red Nose Australia.
