Sleepea® 5-Second Baby Swaddle FAQs
What is a baby swaddle sack?
A sleep sack is, essentially, a wearable blanket. And a swaddle is a lightweight square blanket used to wrap an infant. But a swaddle sack is an amazing combination of the two! Here, you get the ease of zip-up sack, plus the cozy hug of a swaddle that infants crave. (Swaddling is an integral part of Dr. Harvey Karp’s 5 S’s for soothing babies.) Our award-winning, pediatrician-designed Sleepea swaddle sack features breathable organic cotton, an easy-peasy two-way zipper, patented escape-proof inner bands…and ingenious shoulder snaps to allow for arms-out snoozing. Unlike other swaddle sacks, Sleepea’s inovative snaps make it so even rolling babies can continue wearing Sleepea! Once babies show signs of rolling, arms-down swaddling must stop. However, if your baby is rolling—and 26 pounds or less—they can remain in Sleepea with BOTH arms out!
Do swaddle sleep sacks work?
Yes! In fact, zipper and Velcro swaddle sleep sacks work better than traditional swaddles because there’s virtually no room for error…and they’re far easier to use, especially when half-awake at 2am! With the Sleepea 5-Second Swaddle, there are no origami folds, zero intricate tucking, and you don’t need to cross your fingers hoping nothing unravels…which would be super risky. And you can rest assured that you’re not sacrificing quality for ease-of-use. Sleepea’s patented inner bands offer the same sleep-inducing womb-like hug babies have always loved with traditional swaddles.
How do you use an infant swaddle sack?
Sleepea is so easy to use we call it the 5-second swaddle! Simply place your little one on your unzipped Sleepea with their shoulders about two inches above the neckline. Pull one band across Baby’s straightened arm and chest and secure it with Velcro—and then the other. Then bring the leg flap up between your baby’s legs, attach it to the already-secured arm bands. Finally, zip Sleepea all the way up and get ready for sweet dreams! It’s no wonder Babylist named Sleepea the Best Easy Swaddle!
What are the benefits of sleep swaddles sacks?
Swaddle sacks not only help to activate your little one’s inborn calming reflex, which is their natural “off switch” for fussing and “on switch” for sleep…swaddle sacks are significantly easier to use than a traditional swaddle blanket. With our Sleepea 5-Second swaddle, once you follow the easy-peasy directions, you know that your baby’s swaddle will always be secure, it’ll always be hip-friendly, and it’ll always keep your bub cool and comfy. There’s never a chance of risky unraveling or accidentally wrapping your baby too tight or too loose! Plus, Sleepea takes all of the stress out of trying to unswaddle and re-swaddle during middle-of-the-night diaper changes.
Should I get a baby swaddle with Velcro arms?
If you’re looking to take all of the guesswork out of swaddling, then a baby swaddle with Velcro arms is for you! While there are several to choose from, the award-winning Sleepea has proven time and again to be a parent and reviewer favorite. (The New York Times, Romper, The Bump, Healthline, and more have all awarded Sleepea top swaddle honors!) Part of the reason: Our ultra-breathable organic cotton Sleepea swaddle features extra-quiet Velcro (and a smooth double zipper) that helps to prevent light sleepers from startling awake. Plus, Sleepea features patented Velcro inner arm bands and a Velcro leg flap, which work together to create a super-safe, secure, escape-resistant swaddle that babies adore.
Why do babies like sleeping swaddle sacks?
Swaddling is an integral part of Dr. Harvey Karp’s 5 S’s for soothing babies. The comforting womb-like embrace of a swaddle helps to activate Baby’s innate calming reflex, which is their built-in “off switch” for crying and “on switch” for sleep. In fact, swaddled babies are able to respond faster to the other four S’s (shushing, swinging, sucking, and holding baby in the side-stomach position)—and stay soothed longer because their arms can’t wriggle around and bonk them in the face!
