Problems solved by technology

Since the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published its last statement on SIDS in 2006, it has been unequivocal in stressing the need to avoid redundant soft bedding and soft objects in the infant's sleeping environment.
A strong interaction was found between prone sleep position and soft bedding surface, indicating that these two factors together are very hazardous.
Soft surfaces have also been implicated in infant deaths occurring on adult beds.
Such garments uniformly, however, have the additional shortcoming that to change diaper

Embodiment Construction

[0013]A sleep garment 10 for enclosing an infant 12 is shown in FIG. 1 in a first embodiment. The first embodiment of the sleep garment 10 comprises an insulating sheath 20. The insulating sheath 20 may be made up of any commonly used textile product that suitably insulates the infant 12 from the temperature of air ambient to the infant 12 so as to provide a thermal environment inside of the sheath 20 to allow the infant to safely and comfortably sleep without risking hypothermia or hyperthermia. This sleep garment 10 is configured to have the sheath 20 define the mock turtleneck collar 24 to accommodate a head 12a of the infant 12. Arm holes 22a and 22b accommodate a right arm 12b and a left arm 12c. In other embodiments, other collars 24 as well as sleeves, half-sleeves, or enclosed arm warmers are readily substituted for the arm holes 22a and 22b without impairing the function and utility of the inventive sleep garment 10.

Abstract

A wearable blanket for covering the legs and torso of an infant includes a sheath of generally planar textile material configured to envelope the infant in a bag-like manner. The sheath defines a head opening including a zipper portion extending from substantially a foot end of the sheath to a head end of the sheath and at the head end of the sheath, the head opening is bordered by a collar configured to encircle a neck of the infant. The sheath defines right and left arm holes. A double ended zipper extends along an edge of the head opening over the zipper portion such that when the zipper is in a fully closed position it draws opposing ends of the collar together.
