Transition from swaddle to free arms without losing sleep!

Once your baby is showing signs of being able to roll, swaddling is no longer safe. Sleepy Hugs is safe for babies who have started to roll onto their tummy during sleep as they are able to move their arms into their preferred position.

The Sleepy Hugs is a uniquely designed baby sleep bag designed for babies who have outgrown swaddling and prefer unrestricted arm movement but still need some security to calm their startle reflex, yet provides just enough security to combat the startle reflex. It's the perfect sleep bag to help babies transition to free arms without losing sleep. Perfect for tummy rollers.
