Amazing Baby Transitional Swaddle Sack with Arms Up Mitten Cuffs, Tiny Elephants, Sterling, Small, 0-3 Months

Product Information

This HALO swaddle feels warm and cozy with its 100% polyester micro-fleece. But because the material may be too warm in the summer, we didn’t give it a 5 out of 5 for comfort. If that’s a concern, the company also sells a cotton version. (To tell how warm a swaddle is, look for its thermal overall grade or TOG rating to give you an idea of what temperatures they work best in. For example, the micro-fleece swaddle has a 3.0 TOG rating, ideal for room temperatures of 64-68 degrees.) The material also held up well after multiple washes and never lost its durability. A two-way zipper makes late-night diaper changes a breeze, while the zipper covers at the top and bottom prevent the fasteners from irritating or scratching skin. Swaddling is an ancient practice of wrapping your baby in a cocoon, to help them feel safe and secure. We swaddle our babies to avoid the sudden flailing of their arms and head that swiftly snaps them awake, undoing all that hard work it took to get them to sleep. That flailing movement is known as the Moro, or startle reflex. It is a jerk in their bodies that can occur every 20 minutes in some babies. It is completely normal and begins in the first trimester in utero. A loud noise, a sudden bright light, movement or even a parent laughing can trigger the reflex. Swaddling calms this jerking movement while keeping your mini comfortable and content. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sudden-infant-death-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20352800?
