No more full unwrap.


It shouldn’t be this hard. With Swaddle Easy, it isn’t.

You finally got them down, and now they’re hungry. With most swaddles, that means undoing the whole thing in the dark. With Swaddle Easy, you fold the mittens back, feed, and fold them over again.

  • Stays zipped on. Just the mittens move. The rest stays put.
  • Quiet in the dark. No Velcro rip, just a soft click.
  • Ready for the crib. When they drift off, fold the mittens over and click.

Hands free

Why free hands help at feeds.

Touch

Room to reach for you

With the mittens folded back, little hands can touch and explore during a feed.

Close

Chest to chest

Less fabric in the way, so holding them close and cuddling is easy.

Quiet

Quiet to open

Fold the mittens back without a big unwrapping moment. No Velcro rip in a dark room.

Cluster feeds

Made for back-to-back feeds

When they want to eat again and again, fold back, feed, fold over. No re-wrapping each time.

Bottles

Bottles too

Pumped milk or formula, your baby’s hands are free to hold on to yours.

Burping

Burp, then back down

Keep the mittens back while you burp. Once they’re asleep, fold them over and click.

Good questions

Feeding questions.

Should I always free my baby’s hands for feeding?

It’s up to you and your baby. Some babies like their hands free during feeds, and some feed just fine with the mittens over. With Swaddle Easy, you get to choose. Once your baby falls asleep, fold the mittens over.

Does this work for bottle feeding?

Yes. Whether it’s pumped milk or formula, folding the mittens back lets your baby touch and hold on during the feed. And there’s no full unwrap, so it’s less of an interruption.

What about burping after feeds?

Keep the hands free while you burp. When your baby is drowsy and ready for the crib, fold the mittens over and click. Hands in for every sleep.

Can my baby touch my skin during feeds?

Yes. With the mittens folded back, your baby’s hands can touch your skin during feeds and cuddles. For questions about breastfeeding itself, your lactation consultant or pediatrician is the best person to ask.

How does this help with cluster feeding?

Cluster feeding is exhausting enough. When your baby wants to eat again and again, you fold the mittens back, feed, and fold them over again. No re-wrapping each time, so your energy goes to the feed, not the swaddle.

What if my baby falls asleep during a feed?

It happens. Fold the mittens over before you lay them down, then place your baby on their back on a firm, flat surface.

How long can my baby use Swaddle Easy?

Swaddle Easy is made for babies 0 to 3 months. Stop swaddling at 3 months or at the first signs of rolling, whichever comes first.
