Benefits for parents

• Two-way zipper makes for easy nap changes (hello, middle-of-the-night poo explosions!) - you can keep their little arms wrapped inside the swaddle as you change them to minimize sleep disruption;
• If baby is too warm, undo the lower portion of the two-way zip on your pouch to let air flow through in the early evening. Zip them up later in the evening before you go to bed to keep warmth in overnight.
• Easily transforms from an arms-in swaddle to arms-out sleeping bag using arm snaps when baby starts to roll;
• A Cocoon Swaddle Sack can become a positive association very quickly. Your baby will start to recognize the smell and sight of their pouch and associate this with restful sleep. If you consistently use the Cocoon Swaddle Sack as part of your settling ritual, your baby will then be able to transfer this association while out and about. They will quickly understand if they are in their Cocoon Swaddle Sack, it's time to sleep.
