Safe swaddling tip: Always place a swaddled baby on their back.

Swaddling is a proven method to help encourage sleep, which is why parents have been swaddling for thousands of years.

Sleepy Bub’s innovation mimics traditional safe swaddling practices by gently holding a baby’s arms down towards their body (bending at the elbow), positioned comfortably away from the face without the use of wraps or blankets that may cause overheating or become unravelled with the risk of suffocation.

Our sleep suits have been designed with safety and healthy hip development in mind – super stretchy-fabric that widens at the hips so a baby’s legs can bend up and out at the hips.
