Understanding your baby’s sleep needs at each stage helps ensure a safe and comfortable sleep environment. This quick guide will help you choose the right sleepwear based on your baby’s current stage.
STAGE 1 – Fetal Flex Swaddle (Newborn to Rolling)
The FX Swaddle is designed to support your baby’s natural fetal position, with their hands positioned toward the midline near their face – just like in the womb. This familiar positioning helps them feel secure and reduces the startle reflex, while allowing arm movement along the midline (from head to tummy) to facilitate better development and encourage natural self-soothing.
The FX Swaddle is designed for use from birth until the baby begins to show signs of rolling, typically occurring between 4-6 months but potentially sooner for some babies.
When to Transition
It is essential to discontinue swaddling (STAGE 1) as soon as the baby starts showing signs that they can begin to roll. At this point, we recommend transitioning to our 2-IN-1 Swaddle Transition Sleep Bag (STAGE 2), which is specifically designed for rolling babies.
STAGE 2 – 2-IN-1 Swaddle Transition Sleep Bag (Rolling Babies)
The 2-IN-1 Swaddle Transition Sleep Bag is designed for rolling babies. It has a relaxed fit, similar to a sleeping bag, and allows babies to move their arms freely while still providing a secure and enclosed feeling. The design also offers slight resistance on the arms (when covered), which helps suppress lingering startle reflexes that babies may experience during the swaddle transition process.
