Size Guide

Butterfly Cardi

The Butterfly Cardi is designed to be a firm fit, to mimic the enclosed feel of a swaddle. The firmness can also be adjusted using the press-studs according to how strong your child's startle reflex is. Choose the tighter fit for a strong reflex, and the looser fit for older babies who have lost their startle reflex.

Best For

Swaddled babies who are ready to transition out of swaddling to arms-out sleeping (typically between 2-6 months or 11-18lbs).

Description

When your swaddled baby begins to show signs of rolling, it is time to transition them to a swaddle with arms-out sleeping for their safety. The Butterfly Cardi is a baby sleep cardigan that is innovatively designed to be a transition aid worn over your baby's swaddle or sleep sack, to help them transition to arms-out with minimal sleep interruptions and maximum sleep comfort. The 0.2 TOG rating makes it a light layer suitable for use over any sleep sack in any room temperature.

The Butterfly Cardi features unique arm pockets to create a sense of containment, the feeling your baby will be used to from swaddling. By gently releasing one arm out of the swaddle at a time and into the pocket of the arms-only infant sleep cardigan, you will be easing your baby to sleep fully arms-out over a period of 10 days, helping them get used to the new sensation as you go. While they wear this arm swaddle with their arms inside the pocket, your baby will also have access to their hands for self-soothing. For babies who may still have a strong startle reflex, the snap closures can be adjusted to make a firmer fit around your baby's torso.

The super stretch in all directions will ensure your baby remains comfortable and allow for full chest expansion when breathing. The position of the Butterfly Cardi on the body will not interrupt the natural sleeping position for healthy hip joint development.

Made with our signature premium GOTS certified organic jersey cotton. Natural fibers are better for sleeping for the simple reason they are breathable, and help your little one regulate their temperature overnight. Our certified organic fibers are also skin-friendly and sensitive on eczema and dry skin conditions. All ergoPouch fabrics are dyed with non-toxic water based dyes.

The Butterfly Cardi is designed to help with transitioning baby to arms out sleeping and is not to be used as an alternative for swaddling.

How To Use

We recommend transitioning over a 10 day period. This should commence when your baby first shows signs of wanting to roll (not after they start rolling) for their safety.

DAY 1 - 3
Dress your baby in the Butterfly Cardi over their sleeping bag or Cocoon Swaddle Bag with their arms contained within the fold-over arm pockets for all their sleeps (day & night).
Use the press studs to adjust the firmness of the Cardi around the torso. If your baby has a strong startle reflex, start with a tight fit. If your baby has a low startle reflex, you can start with the looser fit.

DAY 4 - 7
After your little one is familiar with their new sleepwear addition, you can now take one arm out of the fold-over pocket for all their sleeps.

DAY 8 - 10
In this next stage, you can take their remaining arm out of the other pocket for all their sleeps. On the final day, remove the Cardi altogether. Your baby is now sleeping, arms-out. Hooray!
