SwaddleDesigns Transitional Swaddle Sack – Arms-Up Sleeves, 6–9 Months, Safe Sleep Transition

Transition with gentleness: SwaddleDesigns Transitional Swaddle Sack

The Transitional Swaddle Sack is designed to ease baby from a traditional wrap to a wearable blanket. Sized 6–9 months (about 21–24 lb), it combines soft cotton, a light TOG, and thoughtful features that support a secure, flexible fit during this stage of sleep development. Designed by a nurse, this sack emphasizes comfort, breathability, and simplicity for caregivers navigating the transition with little ones.

With an arms-up preference in mind, the 1/2-length sleeves and foldover mitten cuffs offer snugness without a full wrap. The sack is engineered so that, if a baby rolls over, arms can assist with lifting the torso to access air—a mindful design aimed at safer positioning. The overall shape remains snug enough to feel secure while allowing natural limb movement, which can help baby self-soothe and explore hand use during wakeful moments.

Care, fit & sizing

Size is weight-based: S 6–14 lbs, M 14–21 lbs, L 21–24 lbs. The fabric’s stretch helps maintain a snug feel without being restrictive. For best results, wash as you would a typical baby garment and adjust cuffs as needed for safety and comfort.
