FX (Fetal Flex) Swaddle

• Swaddles your baby in the naturally soothing fetal position – which provides optimum comfort and reassurance, reduces overstimulation, making your baby feel calm, cosy and safe.
• Patent pending design emulates the natural essence of the womb environment by swaddling your baby in the naturally preferred ‘arms free’ (fetal-arm) position, while still suppressing the Startle (Moro) reflex.
• Arms free (fetal-arm) position + suppressing startle reflex = better development, more self-soothing and less spontaneous awakenings = more sleep for baby and easier transition out of swaddle = more sleep for mum and dad.
• Patent pending built-in 3-in-1 arm positions (Arms-in, Arms-free, or Hands-free), provides a gentler way to transition your baby from 'womb to world', and from 'swaddle to sleeping bag'.
• The narrowed/tapered waistline design provides gentle pressure on baby’s belly, which can help ease colic and eliminate gas related issues.
• Hip-healthy bell shaped design allows baby’s hips and legs to flex and move naturally, which helps the hips develop normally.
• The design of the FX swaddle and the stretch organic cotton fabric allows proper chest wall expansion, allowing baby to breathe freely and minimising the risks associated with tight chest wrapping.
• Made with stretchy but snug 95% certified organic cotton 5% spandex for optimum breathability and comfort.
• Single layer of 0.5 Tog breathable organic cotton fabric to reduce the risk of overheating.
• Australian safety standard approved. The FX Swaddle conforms to the Australian safety standard AS/NZS 1249:2014
• Escape proof zip-up design prevents baby escaping from the swaddle. Safer alternative to velcro or traditional swaddles which can unravel and cover your child’s face.
• Two-way zipper for easy nappy changes.
• Super easy to use, simply place baby in the swaddle and zip up. No wrapping required!
• Easy cleaning/care.

Babies grow at different rates, and weight and height can vary significantly between babies of same age. Therefore, we recommend choosing the swaddle size according to your baby’s Weight or Height, whichever is greater of the two; instead of baby’s age.

Use the sizing chart below along with the swaddle weight specific info to work out the correct size for your baby. If you’re not 100% sure about your baby’s height or weight measurements, and are in doubt between two sizes, we recommend getting both sizes and you can return the one that doesn’t fit. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any help.

Sizing Chart

- All measurements are approximate and are for guidance only as all babies are different.

Standard weight swaddle sizing guide

Standard weight swaddle is made from cotton jersey fabric with a very good amount of stretch. If your baby is currently at the higher end of the Weight or Height range for a particular size, then it’s ok to get the next size up. Otherwise, please avoid upsizing, as it’s important to get the correct size for the swaddle to have enough compression to suppress the startle reflex, and also for the safety of your little one.

Warm weight swaddle sizing guide

Warm weight swaddle is made from warm cotton fleece fabric; suitable for Autumn/Spring use on its own, and suitable for Winter use with warmer layers underneath the swaddle.

The fleece fabric has a good amount of stretch, but also a greater amount of compression. Therefore, if you are intending to add layers underneath the swaddle for colder months, we recommend getting the next size up than what is suggested in the above sizing chart, to allow more room for layering. Otherwise select size according to baby’s weight or height, whichever is greater of the two.

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!

- This dressing guide is for general guidance only as all babies are different.

• 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.
