Ease of Use

Sleepea is not called the 5-Second Baby Swaddle for nothing! The dual zipper plus the secure inner flaps and bands make swaddling easier than ever. Simply place your baby in the swaddle so that their shoulders are about two inches above the neckline. Pull the built-in bands across your little one’s chest to secure their arms down. Next, bring the leg flap up and attach it to the arm bands. Then all you need to do is zip Sleepea up and your baby is ready for snug and cozy ZZZs! (It works like a charm! Our babies sleep so well in Sleepea!) Bonus: Because the zipper unzips from the top or bottom, nighttime diaper changes are super easy, too.

Functionality

We love a two-for-one baby product, and Sleepea delivers! First, it’s a fantastic swaddle for infants. Sleepea was created by pediatrician and top swaddling expert Dr. Harvey Karp. That’s the very same doc who developed the groundbreaking 5 S’s method for soothing babies, where swaddling is a key component. Essentially, the 5 S’s mimic the sensations of the womb…and the snug hug of Sleepea does just that! Sleepea’s inner flaps are easy to use and designed to keep your baby secure all night long. 

And second, Sleepea is also a great sleep sack! As your baby grows, Sleepea’s clever shoulder snaps allows for littles to sleep with one or both arms out, making Sleepea a great transitional swaddle, too!

Material/Comfort

‍Sleepea is made with super soft, 100% GOTS certified organic cotton…plus mesh fabric at the shoulders and legs. This smart combo makes Sleepea extra-breathable, which keeps babies cool and comfortable all sleep long. We can attest that our little ones definitely feel comfy in this little cocoon. It works like a charm!

Safety

We feel extra confident knowing that an actual world-renowned pediatrician designed Sleepea 5-Second Swaddle! Dr. Karp thought of every last safety detail when he created this super soft and effective baby swaddle. So it’s no surprise that Sleepea is certified hip-safe and falls in line with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ new recommendation that advises parents to avoid weighted baby swaddles.
