Swaddling your baby is a natural way to help promote sleep and securtiy. The only problem as they get older our babies move around more breaking the swaddling techiques we us. Zipadee-Zip is the cutest, and most effective way to swaddle your child. Our neice is almost 10 months old and she is now at the age where she needs to learn to self soothe at night. Try telling her that. So after many sleepless nights around here I started looking around for a more natural way to handle this situation.
First, this has got to be the cutest thing ever. I am in love with the design. The fabric is super soft and cuddly to the touch. Very cozy, just like a blanket! Usually the best time to transition is right around the 5 or 6 month mark although many babies have a great experience transitioning much earlier. This is partially because a baby will usually outgrow their startle reflex at around 6 months old. A baby will tell you that they are ready to be done being swaddled. What will usually happen is this… A baby who used to sleep wonderfully when swaddled will start waking up multiple times during the night acting like he/she is trying to get comfortable or escape the swaddle or roll over. I have found that if those signs are there, the transition to the Zipadee-Zip is pretty simple and quick.
SEVEN USES FOR THE ZIPADEE-ZIP:
1. Sleep – Aids swaddle transition and teaches self-soothing skills!
2. Travel – Encourages sleep and settling on long car or plane rides!
3. Dr. Office Visits – Eliminates tedious clothing changes!
4. Grocery Visits and Plane Rides – Provides a GERM FREE environment!
5. Breastfeeding – Prevents a baby from scratching themselves and momma!
6. Stroller walks or walks/rides in a sling or baby carrier – can be worn while buckled or strapped in!
7. MORE SLEEP! Aids transition to crib off of a swing, or the transition from the rock and play sleeper and helps sick little ones get rest when they wouldn’t otherwise!
Zipadee-Zip is all that different from the sleeveless wearable blankets or sacks out there. There’s a reason people call it the new and improved wearable blanket. The star-shaped pointed sleeves and star-fish design is Patent Pending because it inspires sounder sleep than any other wearable blankets on the market. The slight resistance in the wing-span allows a baby to move around freely while still providing the enclosed, cozy sensation babies enjoy so much in the swaddle and the womb. The ‘Moro’ or startle reflex is what prevents a baby from sleeping soundly and jolts a baby awake suddenly. The reason babies are startled is because they wake up and can’t feel their edges like they were able to in the womb. The Zipadee-Zip provides those ‘edges’ or that womb like environment while still providing them the freedom to roll around and use their arms and hands safely. This is why the Zipadee-Zip will work when all other products parents have tried to transition their babies typically fail.
Although most people purchase the Zipadee-Zips for the transition off of the swaddle, many love the Zipadee-Zip for other reasons: The Zipadee-Zip is easy to put on, it keeps a baby’s hands warm at night, and the enclosed feel gives babies the security they need to learn to self-soothe and fall asleep on their own and it can be easily buckled into a car seat or stroller. It also keeps germs away from from those little hands in grocery stores and doctors offices
One of the best tips to give moms when making the transition is to do nap times first in the Zipadee-Zip for a while before using the Zipadee-Zip for night time sleep unless your little one is rolling over and it’s no longer safe to swaddle. This will give your little one a chance to get used to the new found freedom over a shorter period of time. Every baby is different but that should give you an idea of what to look for when deciding when and how to start the transition!
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CHEMICALS USED IN THE MAKING OF ANY OF THE ZIPADEE-ZIPS!
