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 16):
A swaddling device, comprising:\n a sack that is configured to enclose a baby, wherein the sack includes a top section, a middle section, and a bottom section; wherein the middle section has a circumference sized to snugly envelope the stomach of the baby and thereby provide constant moderate pressure; wherein the bottom section has a circumference that is larger than the circumference of the middle section, such that the baby can flex its hips and knees, while partially restricting movement of the legs; wherein the top section includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve that each have a distal end that is selectively openable, 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; wherein the first and second arm are oriented pointing upwards and away from the shoulders of the baby; and wherein the top section partially restricts the movement of the arms of the baby and thereby suppresses arm movements and startles related to the Moro Reflex while providing sufficient range of motion to allow the baby the use of its arms when in prone position and allows baby to lift its torso to reposition its head.
