Sleepea® 5-Second Baby Swaddle
We lost sleep over creating the best baby swaddle so parents don't have to!
Sleepea is the ultra-soft, simple-to-use swaddle that helps babies sleep better and happier. Our patented 5-Second Swaddle design makes safely wrapping your lovebug as stress-free as can be!
Because Sleepea is made with soft organic cotton and breathable mesh panels, you can rest assured that your little one will not only sleep comfortably all night long (no matter the season), but they will snooze safely, too. After all, Sleepea was designed by renowned paediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the world’s leading swaddling expert.
Sleepea’s inner flaps give babies the womb-like embrace they love while keeping even mini escape artists snugly wrapped and preventing the wild arm movements and nose whacks that can startle them awake. And, unlike most baby swaddles, Sleepea allows for safe arms-out swaddling, making it the perfect transitional swaddle for babies that are almost ready to wave bye-bye to their swaddling days.
For the first 6 months of life, babies should always be placed to sleep on the back. If your baby can roll, you should stop swaddling the arms. That is because babies need to be able to push up in case they roll to the stomach and the face is pressing against the mattress. (Always consult your baby’s healthcare provider for their advice.)
Please note: To create a continuous groovy design, we made our Tie-Dye Sleepea without mesh panels. (That gives you more of our super-soft, all-seasons 100% organic cotton!) Every Tie-Dye Sleepea is hand-dipped, meaning the designs may vary slightly...making each piece (almost) as unique as your sweet baby!
Swaddling With Sleepea is Easy-Peasy!

Sleepea® 5-Second Baby Swaddle FAQs
Choosing to swaddle your little one with their arms in or out depends on how old your baby is. If you have got a young baby, arms-in swaddling is a game-changer for quality sleep. The snug arms-in swaddle best replicates the womb experience, helping to activate Baby’s innate calming reflex that quells fussing and brings on sleep. That said, some babies start to get ready for arms-out around 3 to 4 months. (Before then, little ones simply do not have enough motor control over their arms, so they have a tendency to bonk themselves awake a lot.)
If your baby wakes themselves up when their arms are free, they are just not ready to transition yet…and that is okay! You want to make sure you go at your baby’s pace. The BIG caveat: If your baby is rolling, you must stop arms-in swaddling immediately. However, if your rolling baby is in Sleepea, you can be comfortable continuing to use it as long as your bub has BOTH arms out—and weighs 12 kilograms or less.
Yes! Sleepea is uniquely designed to make weaning from the swaddle easy-peasy. That is because Sleepea features innovative snaps on each shoulder that allow you to gently pull your baby’s arm through for arms-out sleeping. When you are ready to transition to arms-out swaddling, it is best to start with the side your baby favours the most. (Once your baby sleeps well for a few nights with one arm free, you can then let their other arm out.)
Remember, once your baby starts trying to roll over, you need to stop swaddling with both arms down right away, just as the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) recommends. However, even a rolling baby can continue sleeping safely their Sleepea as long as BOTH arms are out until they are 12 kilograms or less.

Perfect, my baby loves it and sleeps really good. Easy and practical
Hi Elma,
Love to hear that Sleepea is your perfect choice for easy swaddling and a happy baby!

We have bought the Sleep swaddle for our little girl. We have used it every night and her Sleep quality really improved with this swaddle. She is 2.6kg and the small version is still a bit to big for her, but possible to use anyhow. The fabrics are really Nice and easy to wash. We are very happy with the purchase.
Hi there,
We're so happy to hear that your baby girl is snuggled in Sleepea every night for sweet dreams! Our Small is designed to safely swaddle babies weighing 2-5 kg so your baby has a little time to grow into it. Some families will double-swaddle during that time to fill out the Sleepea.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Jess from the Happiest Baby Team
Excellent. Pour l'instant le meilleur swaddle que nous ayons testé. Il améliore nettement la qualité de sommeil de notre enfant.
Bonjour Diego,
Cela représente une satisfaction immense pour nous de savoir que Sleepea améliore nettement la qualité de sommeil de votre enfant! Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé.
Bien cordialement,
Jess from the Happiest Baby Team
We bought this swaddle because our baby is a very active sleeper and got out of a regular cloth swaddle easily. Although we used the sleepea swaddle carefully as instructed, our baby still got his hands up towards his mouth quickly. However, we came up with our own method of putting him inthe sleepea, so that we wrap the "wings" around his arms and under his back and snap the velcro behind hos back. That way he stays nicely swaddled the whole night and sleeps very good.
Hi Katja,
It’s wonderful to hear your son gets a good night’s sleep with Sleepea! We're all about keeping babies happier & safer. We want to share that for safety, babies need to be swaddled with the inner bands across the chest, the leg flap secured, and the zipper completely zipped up.
For little Houdini babies like yours, our thin blanket tip is a great way to get a snug swaddle, every time! Check out our FAQ with a short video tutorial: https://support.happiestbaby.com/hc/en-us/articles/229665147
