The main purpose of the Ergobaby Swaddlers unique arm pockets is to keep the arms from startling the baby awake. Additionally,the arm pockets help keep baby swaddled through the night. The primary point of swaddling is to recreate the conditions baby experienced in the womb. The position of the arms is part of a natural fetal position-elbows bent with hands to heart.

The leg pouch is meant to be wide to allow movement from side-to-side. Having the legs too tightly wrapped is against the recommendation of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute’s guidelines. Swaddling allows baby to extend their legs fully,as babies do. The leg pouch is meant to be loose to allow for easy access to change diapers and for use with 3-point harness systems in swings and/or bouncers as well as the option to leave down on warmer nights.

The velcro used in the Ergobaby Swaddler consists of a premium "hook-and-loop fastener" system that makes the velcro extremely soft to the touch and tends to be "quieter" than mainstream velcro.

Immediately stop using the Ergobaby Swaddler once your baby can roll over.

By two years of age,a child will have spent more time asleep than awake. A healthy amount of sleep is essential for babies as it directly impacts their mental and physical development,as well as happiness. Just as you ensure your baby has a safe play environment,it’s important to establish a safe sleep environment. Proper sleep conditions will help your baby rest better,longer,and safer…so you can sleep better too! —Sourced by the National Sleep Foundation The practice of swaddling a baby has been used for centuries in many different cultures due to its various benefits. Swaddling mimics the structure of the womb and helps ease a baby’s transition into the world. Newborns need extensive nurturing during the first 3 months of life; this time is commonly referred to as the fourth trimester. Swaddling reduces spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) that startle your baby awake and keeps your little one in REM sleep (the most restorative,deepest sleep) for longer periods of time. Research demonstrates that when swaddled correctly,babies are safer since they are more likely to stay asleep on their backs and less likely to get caught in loose blankets. Swaddling can have a calming effect that soothes baby. Swaddling helps regulate baby’s body temperature. Swaddling reduces scratching. —Sourced by the 2002 Medical Journal of Pediatrics
