A sleep sack, also known as a wearable blanket, is a safer alternative to loose bedding in a baby's crib. It is a wearable garment that keeps babies cozy and warm while they sleep without the need for blankets that could pose a suffocation or overheating risk.

Yes, sleep sacks are considered safe for babies when used correctly, as noted by the American Academy of Pediatrics. They eliminate the risk of suffocation or overheating associated with loose blankets in the crib. Sleep of Mind sleep sacks have the added benefit of our patent-pending reflective technology, so you can see your little one’s chest moving with each breath. Our garments meet and exceed all regulated child sleepwear safety standards for both the USA and Canada. They have been tested by independent 3rd party labs in the USA, and also meet GOTS and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 guidelines, making them free of harmful substances. You can learn more about this on our Safety page.

Babies can start using sleep sacks from birth, and they are suitable for use until the child is out of the crib and able to fully manage a blanket on their own.

While sleep sacks are generally safe, it's essential to ensure a proper fit to prevent the baby from slipping down into the sack. Do not use the sleep sack if your baby’s arms or head can pass through the neck hole, or if the neck hole is too restrictive for the infant.

Yes! We recommend using a sleep sack until your child is capable of covering themselves with a blanket and is out of the crib.

Introduce the sleep sack for the first time at bedtime when a child is the most drowsy, when melatonin secretion is most prominent. After one night, your child should be well adjusted to keep sleeping in the sleep sack for daytime sleep too.

Although caregivers must always place their baby down into their sleep space on their back, if your baby is strong enough to roll over on their own, they are safe to stay that way for sleep, even when wearing a sleep sack. If you are ever unsure of your child’s safety, please seek medical advice and don’t hesitate to check on your child.

Please see the instructions and video on our How it Works page.

Any baby monitor or security camera with night vision capabilities should work to view the reflective results of our garment. Just ensure you follow the camera placement instructions on the How it Works page.

Usually this is due to your baby monitor placement not being overtop of the sleep space or being too far away. Follow the instructions on our How it Works page. Make sure your camera is directly over top of your child’s crib or bassinet and is no more than 6 feet away from your child. Make sure your child’s room is pitch black so that the only light is coming from the camera. It’s best to wash the sleep sack prior to first use (inside out) following the instructions on the care tag inside the sleep sack. If you’re still having trouble, please email us at customercare@sleepofmind.com, including photos of what you are seeing on your camera so we can have a better idea of what the issue may be and can assist you.

Swaddling is the practice of snugly wrapping a baby in a blanket or cloth to provide warmth and security, mimicking the feeling of being in the womb.

Swaddling is typically safe and encouraged for newborns. It's essential to stop swaddling once the baby starts showing signs of rolling over, typically around 12 weeks of age but it can be as early as 8 weeks.

Swaddling can make babies feel secure (like being in the womb) and calms their startle reflex, promoting better sleep by preventing sudden movements that can wake them up.

Swaddling can sometimes calm a fussy or colicky baby by providing a comforting environment and reducing the baby's startle reflex. If you're concerned your baby may have colic or some related condition, we always recommend to speak to your pediatrician.

Yes, swaddling can be used for both naps and nighttime sleep to make babies feel secure and promote better sleep patterns.

Switch to the Sleep of Mind sleep sack starting at bedtime, when a child is the most drowsy and melatonin secretion is most prominent. After one night, your child should be adjusted enough to keep sleeping in the sleep sack for daytime sleep.

Yes, there are various types of swaddles, including traditional swaddle blankets, swaddle wraps with Velcro or snaps, and swaddle sacks with zipper closures. Our Sleep of Mind swaddle was designed as an arms-up swaddle, the position that most closely aligns to an infant’s positioning in the womb. And it’s one that newborns love! The arms-up position means babies still have access to their hands to self-soothe, but aren’t too distracted by them, meaning longer stretches of sleep. This position also reflects a natural safe sleep position for newborns, protecting them from accidentally rolling while on their back.  The more comfortable baby is, the better both baby and parents sleep.

Make sure your baby's head can't pass through the neck hole, and be covered by the garment. Also make sure the neck hole is not too small and fits well around the neck allowing freedom of movement. Then fold the wrap snugly over your baby's torso, under the arms, so it feels like a gentle hug. Currently, we offer one size (newborn). Consult our size chart to make sure your baby will fit within the proper garment specifications. Sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social media to be the first to hear when we launch more sizes.

Yes, swaddles can help with sleep as the womb-to-world transition can be challenging. Swaddling provides a similar, cozy feeling to the womb so newborns can feel safer and more secure falling asleep.

When choosing a swaddle, consider factors such as your child’s age, the room temperature, your fabric preferences, and safety features, like zipper covers and certifications.

What is the Sleep of Mind swaddle’s TOG rating?

Swaddling can be safe when done correctly. It's important to follow proper swaddling techniques to reduce the risk of hip dysplasia and overheating. Our swaddles are hip-friendly, allowing babies full freedom in the hips and legs. Please follow our undergarment suggestions to avoid overheating. The ideal room temperature is 20 degrees celsius or 70 degrees fahrenheit. Our garments meet and exceed all regulated child sleepwear safety standards for both the USA and Canada. They have been tested by independent 3rd party labs in the USA, and also meet GOTS and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 guidelines, making them free of harmful substances. You can learn more about this on our Safety page.

Check your baby's temperature by feeling their chest or the back of their neck. They should feel comfortably warm, but not sweaty or overheated. Adjust clothing layers or the room temperature as needed.

Stop swaddling your baby once they start showing signs of rolling over, usually around 2-3 months of age. Continuing to swaddle after this point can increase the risk of suffocation if your baby rolls over onto their front and does not have access to their arms to move their head to a safe position for breathing. Once they start rolling, you can transition to our sleep sack.

Yes, do not use if your baby’s arms or head can pass through the neck hole, or if the neck hole is too restrictive for the infant. Affix the belly wrap snugly, but not too tight as to restrict breathing. 

While swaddling alone cannot prevent SIDS, it is part of a safe sleep environment recommended by pediatricians and organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics. Please visit their site to read more about how to reduce the risk of SIDS.

No, a swaddled baby should never be left on their front, even if they roll over on their own. Remove the swaddle immediately and transition to the Sleep of Mind Sleep Sack.
