FAQs
View allHow do Swaddle Sleeves work?
Swaddle Sleeves give babies that extra bit of coziness and compression around the arms (to mimic the feeling of being swaddled) as they get used to sleeping with their arms out for the first time, but WITHOUT adding ANY weighting or restrictive design. This transition can be a difficult one for many babies, and our snug-fitting sleeves safely provide additional security while still allowing for full range of movment and rolling over. Similar to what’s found inside a higher TOG wearable blanket, Swaddle Sleeves lets baby roll back and forth as desired and provide just an extra bit of reassurance to your little one as they transition out of the swaddle. The length and design of the sleeve, along with the optional mitten cuff, provide gentle resistance and security to aid in a successful transition out of the swaddle.
To keep the sleeves appropriate for all temperatures and seasons, we made sure to keep the insulation inside the Swaddle Sleeves under winter-rated TOG. As a reference, winter-rated TOG may run between 2.0 TOG and 3.5 TOG. Anything under that is commonly suitable for year-round/all temperature usage with the option of adding or removing layers of clothing based on exact temperature inside baby's room. As another reference point, anything less than 1.0 TOG is usually suitable for higher or warmer temperatures. For more details on how to dress baby for sleep, please see "What is TOG?"
Another way to understand our proprietary layering method is: Swaddle Sleeves is made of the same material of a wearable blanket with a higher TOG rating, but without any added restriction in sewing or design, whereas our Mitten Sleeves would be classified as having a lower TOG rating. To prevent overheating, and to serve all seasons, temps, and babies, we have multiple TOG options and body types available. This way, we can keep everyone covered!
*If you’re looking for something that will keep your baby on their back, this isn’t the product. Our products are not designed to keep baby on their back after they know how to roll over. The sleeves are also not designed to keep your baby’s arms “pinned down” with weight, so please don’t be discouraged when baby can still engage in developmentally appropriate movements and rolling over. That's actually what we want! Please know that Swaddle Sleeves will only be easing the transition from the swaddle, and there might still be a brief, disruptive transitory period as your baby goes through the process of adjusting to arms-out sleep. Safety is and will always be #1 for us.
Are all of the sleeves interchangeable?
Yes, all of our sleeves are interchangeable. For example, let’s say you purchase the Swaddle Sleeves Sack. With it, you get 2 sets of sleeves, our Swaddle Sleeves and Mitten Sleeves. You can use either one (most parents prefer to start off with our Swaddle Sleeves and then transition over to the Mitten Sleeves!), or you can also purchase our Add-On Star Sleeves, for example, if for some reason your sweet baby isn’t taking to the Swaddle Sleeves, without having to purchase a whole new product! As we grow, we’ll be offering bundle options for our sleeves, but currently, we only have our Add-On Sleeves as a purchase option so you can mix and match without having to buy a whole new product!
Are these products safe for sleep?
Our products have been designed according to the AAP’s (American Academy of Pediatrics) guidelines for safe sleep. Not only have we undergone certified third-party laboratory testing and surpassed the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s safety standards, we also partnered with pediatric physical therapists, pediatric nurses, and pediatricians throughout our development and design process to ensure that you and your baby are getting the safest, most effective swaddle product possible. Our products have been approved by global-wide safety standards and verified through Intertek and SGS Testing, both of which are world-leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company.
At Two Baby Bears and Co., you can rest assured that we will always put safety first, as evidenced by the immediate disposal of our weighted inventory (at a huge financial loss to the company’s detriment) as soon as the updated AAP safe sleep guidelines were released in June 2022. We believe that transparency matters, and our relationship with our parents and customers is of utmost importance to us.
Why are all of the sleeves zippered and removable?
Because as parents ourselves, we know how difficult it is to buy a product and have it just not work for your baby, and then be stuck with it! That is why we provide two different sets of sleeves with our Swaddle Sleeves products and also give you the option of removing the sleeves entirely so that 1) in case the product doesn’t work out for your baby, you can still use it as a standard sleep sack/bodysuit/pajamas, and 2) to give you and your baby multiple options of how to use our product in case your baby doesn’t like it one way. This is also why we sell our “Add-on Sleeves,” and 3) for longevity of use! It’s no fun when you can only use a product for a set amount of time and once that time is over, throw it in the dresser drawer never to be seen again. We want you to get the most use out of our products and be able to use them long after you’re done with the swaddle transitioning stage!
How do I know which product is right for my baby?
We wanted to make sure that our products were not only safe and functional, but also practical and easy to use for parents. Take our Product Quiz to find the perfect product for your baby!
Are sleep sacks with sleeves safe?
Sleep sacks or wearable blankets with sleeves are just as safe as their sleeveless counterparts, and it's important to ensure that the infant is dressed appropriately for the temperature. We recommend that parents follow the AAP's guidelines for a safe and comfortable room temperature. The recommended temperature for babies is between 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 to 22 degrees Celsius. Experts recommend to check the back of baby's neck to see if your little one is warm instead of their hands or feet for a more accurate reading.
Another helpful measure for temperature is to dress baby in just one more layer than what you are comfortable wearing.
Finally, we have multiple sleeves options that come with an optional mitten cuff, so you have the option to leave the hands open or covered depending on your little one's comfort!
