A transition swaddle is designed to help your baby move from swaddling to sleeping with their arms free. It provides a snug, comforting feel to reduce the startle reflex, while allowing safe movement once your baby starts to roll over.
A transition swaddle differs from a regular swaddle by allowing more freedom of movement, especially for a baby’s arms. Unlike traditional swaddles that wrap the arms tightly to suppress the startle reflex, transition swaddles are designed for babies beginning to roll over. They feature a structured design that offers comfort without restricting arm movement, helping babies adjust safely to arms-free sleep.
To transition out of a swaddle, begin by leaving one arm out for a few nights, then both arms, allowing them to adjust gradually. Once they're comfortable, switch to a wearable blanket for safe, cozy sleep without loose blankets.
