how to use The Hug sleep sack

First, does your baby like to self-soothe by touching their face? Try leaving one arm out if they do.

Put baby in with legs in either inner newborn pouch or in outer sack (depending on baby's size), and place front section on baby's chest.

Each Hug pouch (located at either side of the front section) is placed at baby's sides, for a feeling of security and a good sleep (just like getting a hug).

Wrap left swaddle wing across baby's arms so soft velcro loops face up.

Wrap right swaddle over left swaddle so that soft velcro hooks fasten onto loops.

Baby is swaddled for that soothing secure feeling that resembles the womb and a deeper, longer sleep (see medical references listed on Home page under "Why Swaddle?").

Follow the same procedure, but instead of wrapping swaddle wings over arms, wrap over chest with baby's arms out.

This allows for rolling over freely...

...and for baby to use arms as needed.
