    DISCOVER WHICH HUGS ARE BEST FOR YOUR BABY

    Waking to your distressed baby during each night quickly drains your energy and affects your wellbeing.
    Your baby's startle reflex can disrupt their sleep cycles, but when they can roll and swaddling is no longer safe, you need a solution to help gentle transitioning from swaddling to free arms - without losing sleep.
    Our unique designs provide a safe and gentle way to calm their startle reflex by keeping Houdini arms gently tucked away and assist their transition out of swaddling when they are ready.
    Here's an overview of the products we recommend for your baby's age and developmental stage:

    'Extra Hug' for Sleepy Hugs

    Designed to be used as an option for babies that need more security and need a little more help with transitioning out of swaddling. Using the ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap with the Sleepy Hugs is a great way to add a little more resistance for babies that have strong startle reflex.

    The ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap can be worn on top of the Sleepy Hugs or inside the Sleepy Hugs using the belt loops provided to give the added resistance in the arms to help control the startle reflex. 

    'Extra Hug' Belly Band/Strap for Sleepy Hugs

    IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE 'EXTRA HUG' BELLY BAND/STRAP:

    • Use the ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap only if your baby needs the extra security or extra help with transitioning out of the swaddle.  
    • The ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap must be worn snug-fit around the baby’s tummy area (never loose fit).
    • Discontinue use if your baby can remove the ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap.
    • The ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap is not a medical device. It should not be used for umbilical hernias or other underlying medical conditions.
    • The ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap should not be used as a substitute for a compression band and is not suitable for post surgery support.
    • The ‘Extra Hug’ Belly Band/Strap is made from stretchy organic cotton for a soft comfortable fit.

    Why it works:

    • Genius foldover cuffs on both the hands and feet.
    • Practical full inner leg zip for super-easy nappy changes without taking off the suit.
