Benefits of technology

The present invention is a baby garment that can be equipped with a swaddling mechanism. It solves problems associated with other swaddling mechanisms by enclosing the arms completely, but allowing them to be free when the baby is awake. The garment can be worn while sleeping or awake with limited arm movement to prevent scratching. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a versatile, comfortable garment that can be adapted to the needs of both sleeping and awake babies.

Problems solved by technology

Some swaddling techniques require wrapping the baby in multiple layers of the blanket, which could lead to overheating of the baby.
Furthermore, movement of the baby during sleep can cause the blanket to unravel, which results in at least two major problems.
First, the baby's arms are free to flail, which could wake the baby.
Second, the loose blanket is a hazard for the baby as the baby could inadvertently wrap his or her face in the loose blanket resulting in suffocation.

example

[0045]In the preferred embodiment, the baby garment 100 is a one-piece garment with a pair of pouches 150, 160 along the sides 108, 110 of the garment 100. The garment 100 can be short sleeve, long sleeve, sleeveless, short pants, long pants, pant-less, or with a “leg sack,” and any combination thereof.

Preferably the garment is made of 100% cotton, but can also contain a small amount of polyester or elastane (spandex), such as Lycra®, to allow for stretching. The attached pouches 150, 160 can be made of the same material and composition as the base 102, or any other material and composition used to make baby clothes.

[0047]In the preferred embodiment, the baby garment 100 can be made from cotton elastane fabric, which helps to reduce the risk of overheating compared to multilayer swaddles that can get bulky and frustrating to deal with. In some embodiments, the baby garment 100 can com...

Abstract

A method for swaddling and a baby garment having pouches along opposite sides of the baby garment sufficiently large to accommodate enclosing a baby's arm. The pouch has openings that can be closed so as to allow the arms to be free while the baby is awake, and secure the arms inside the pouch against the baby's body while the baby is sleeping. The pouches can be opened and closed with typical fasteners. The pouches can have some elasticity to allow the pouches to stretch.

Some babies also need protection from scratching themselves, which swaddling can prevent.[0004]Currently, parents use blankets to swaddle their babies, which means when they are traveling, they have to carry yet another item for the baby. In addition, using a blanket requires finding the blanket of the right size, and learning a variety of different swaddling ...
