Abstract:
A swaddling device is described. The swaddling device is Y-shaped pod shaped and configured to substantially enclose a baby. The device includes sleeves having at their ends foldover mitten cuffs or similar selectively openable fasteners. The cuffs allow a caregiver to expose the hand or hands of the baby so as to provide skin-to-skin contact. Alternatively, the caregiver can close the cuffs if scratching is a concern. The device is shaped to provide support and snugness for the baby in its mid-section, while also providing sufficient space for hips and knees to flex. The design of the Swaddle Sack with swaddle snugness provides support and partial suppression of the Moro Reflex without arm restraints and allowing sufficient range of motion for baby's upper section which will reduce risk of suffocation for baby in the event that baby rolls over to prone position, because baby will be able to use his or her arms to reposition his or her head to get access to air.

Claim (Index 1):
A swaddling device, comprising:\n a one-piece sack that has a top section, a middle section, and a bottom section, wherein the sack is configured to substantially enclose a baby, wherein the one-piece sack includes:\n a neck opening; \n a first sleeve portion positioned on a first side of the neck opening; and \n a second sleeve portion positioned on a second side of the neck opening, \n wherein the first and second sleeve portions extend upwards in a Y-shaped configuration with the distal ends above the shoulder line of the swaddling device, \n wherein each of the first and the second sleeve portion have a distal end that is selectively openable by a caregiver, such that when the distal end is in an open position, a hand of the baby is exposed, and when the distal end is in a closed position, the hand of the baby is enclosed within the sleeve portion, and \n wherein the one-piece sack partially restricts movement of the baby and thereby suppresses the Moro Reflex, while also snugly enveloping the stomach of the baby and thereby providing constant moderate pressure thereto.
