ergoPouch / 0.2 TOG Butterfly Cardi

Babies vary in their preference for having their arms swaddled. That's where the Butterfly Cardi comes in. This innovative garment allows you to keep your baby's arms close to their face with the hands-up option. It can also serve as a transition aid when your baby is ready to transition to arms-free sleeping. You can simply use it over your baby's swaddle to help them adjust to the change.

For babies who find comfort sleeping with their hands near their face, you can use the Cocoon Swaddle Bag (sold separately) with arms-out, then put the Butterfly Cardi on top to contain the hands in the butterfly wing pockets near the face. This method is safe from birth when using the 0-3 month size. If your newborn changes sleep styles regularly, using the Cocoon Swaddle Bag with the Butterfly Cardi gives you three sleep options to switch between (arms-in, arms-out, and hands-up).

The unique arm pockets in the Butterfly Cardi create a sense of containment, similar to what your baby is used to from swaddling. By gently releasing one arm out of the swaddle at a time and into the pocket, you will be gradually transitioning your baby to fully arms-out sleeping over a period of 10 days, helping them get used to the new sensation. 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 press studs can be adjusted to provide a firmer fit around your baby's torso.
