Sleepea®
5-Second Baby Swaddle
Our award-winning 100% organic cotton 5-Second Swaddle takes the guesswork out of swaddling with a snug wrap...every time. And because Sleepea was created by renowned paediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, you can trust that every detail was designed with baby safety and parent sanity in mind!
Machine wash in cool or cold water with like colours. Never use hot water or chlorine bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, making sure to dry the sack completely or air dry for best results!
Please Note: Before putting Sleepea in the washer, always attach the arm bands & leg flap to each other and zip the sack completely closed. That will avoid damage that might be caused by the fastener clinging to other items in the load.
Small: 2-5 kg
Medium: 5-8 kg

Sleepea® 5-Second Baby Swaddle
We lost sleep over creating the best baby swaddle so parents don't have to!
Sleepea is the ultra-soft, simple-to-use swaddle that helps babies sleep better and happier. Our patented 5-Second Swaddle design makes safely wrapping your lovebug as stress-free as can be!
Because Sleepea is made with soft organic cotton and breathable mesh panels, you can rest assured that your little one will not only sleep comfortably all night long (no matter the season), but they will snooze safely, too. After all, Sleepea was designed by renowned paediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the world’s leading swaddling expert.
Sleepea’s inner flaps give babies the womb-like embrace they love while keeping even mini escape artists snugly wrapped and preventing the wild arm movements and nose whacks that can startle them awake. And, unlike most baby swaddles, Sleepea allows for safe arms-out swaddling, making it the perfect transitional swaddle for babies that are almost ready to wave bye-bye to their swaddling days.
For the first 6 months of life, babies should always be placed to sleep on the back. If your baby can roll, you should stop swaddling the arms. That is because babies need to be able to push up in case they roll to the stomach and the face is pressing against the mattress. (Always consult your baby’s healthcare provider for their advice.)
Please note: To create a continuous groovy design, we made our Tie-Dye Sleepea without mesh panels. (That gives you more of our super-soft, all-seasons 100% organic cotton!) Every Tie-Dye Sleepea is hand-dipped, meaning the designs may vary slightly...making each piece (almost) as unique as your sweet baby!
Swaddling With Sleepea is Easy-Peasy!

Sleepea® 5-Second Baby Swaddle FAQs
Choosing to swaddle your little one with their arms in or out depends on how old your baby is. If you have got a young baby, arms-in swaddling is a game-changer for quality sleep. The snug arms-in swaddle best replicates the womb experience, helping to activate Baby’s innate calming reflex that quells fussing and brings on sleep. That said, some babies start to get ready for arms-out around 3 to 4 months. (Before then, little ones simply do not have enough motor control over their arms, so they have a tendency to bonk themselves awake a lot.)
If your baby wakes themselves up when their arms are free, they are just not ready to transition yet…and that is okay! You want to make sure you go at your baby’s pace. The BIG caveat: If your baby is rolling, you must stop arms-in swaddling immediately. However, if your rolling baby is in Sleepea, you can be comfortable continuing to use it as long as your bub has BOTH arms out—and weighs 12 kilograms or less.
Yes! Sleepea is uniquely designed to make weaning from the swaddle easy-peasy. That is because Sleepea features innovative snaps on each shoulder that allow you to gently pull your baby’s arm through for arms-out sleeping. When you are ready to transition to arms-out swaddling, it is best to start with the side your baby favours the most. (Once your baby sleeps well for a few nights with one arm free, you can then let their other arm out.)
Remember, once your baby starts trying to roll over, you need to stop swaddling with both arms down right away, just as the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) recommends. However, even a rolling baby can continue sleeping safely their Sleepea as long as BOTH arms are out until they are 12 kilograms or less.
Customer Reviews
So so glad I bought this! My newborn started sleeping 8 hours solid when started using it. So grateful!
Hi Laura,
We love hearing that Sleepea works its swaddle magic on your bub for solid sleep all night!
Cheers,
Jess from the Happiest Baby Team
If only I’d known about these before baby was born, we used the standard newborn ones you can get anywhere which were outgrew quickly and baby could escape them.
So glad I found these when on the hunt for larger sized swaddles because they are amazing!
They’re so easy that even my husband can do them up without any bother.
The zipper has 2 zips making nappy changes easy as you can open from the bottom without taking baby out completely. We love the space/planets design and that they’re made from soft material, the mesh parts keep them breathable so we don’t need to worry about over heating. We also love that there’s no way baby can slip down inside the bag because of the crotch strap meaning there’s less worry for us there too!
I just wish I’d brought larger sizes at the same time as ordering the medium ones because we will definitely be needing them as our very jumpy baby grows, it’s the only way he will sleep without waking himself up.
Hi there,
It's so wonderful to hear that Sleepea is your favorite for swaddling your little Houdini baby for restful sleep. Our team put lots of thought into the design making sure it was easy for parents and safe & comfortable for little ones. We're excited to have your little guy grow with Sleepea!
Best,
Jess from the Happiest Baby Team

Hi Emily,
Love to hear Sleepea makes swaddling a breeze!

Light and a snug fit. Only thing is large does not match description of being suitable for 8-12kgs.
Hi Fay,
Thank you for sharing! Our Sleepea sizing is based on baby's body weight & we'd be happy to check the fit for your little one's comfort. Please contact us at customercare-eu@happiestbaby.com.
