Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to swaddle garments for infants.


BACKGROUND

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing infants on their backs to sleep, because studies have shown that such position reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (“SIDS”). Wedges, loose pillows, and/or other devices may be used to position infants on their backs during sleep. However, wedges, loose pillows, and/or other devices placed into a crib to position an infant may become dislodged by the movement of the infant and thus become a safety hazard. Additionally, placement of such objects underneath infants may promote movement to undesirable positions where their stomachs are face-down.


Thus, there is a need for an infant swaddle garment that will position an infant in a crib and keep the infant resting on the infant's back during sleep.


SUMMARY

In an example, the present disclosure provides a swaddle garment for an infant. The swaddle garment includes a torso section. The torso section includes a first arm opening and a second arm opening, each of the first and second arm openings configured to receive an arm of the infant through each of the first and second arm openings. The torso section further includes a seam including a first plurality of fasteners to reversibly close the torso section over a chest and a stomach of the infant. The torso section further includes a back section attached to a fitted sheet for a crib mattress. The swaddle garment further includes an adjustable leg section attached to the torso section configured to receive legs and feet of the infant. The leg section includes a second plurality of fasteners configured to optionally fold and stow a portion of the leg section, a length of the portion adjustable relative to a total length of the leg section.


In certain examples, the leg section may not be attached to the fitted sheet. In certain examples, the torso section may further include a first wing and a second wing, each of the first and second wings attached to the torso section behind each of the first and second arm openings, each of the first and second wings including a third fastener or a third plurality of fasteners to optionally secure the arm of the infant across the top of the torso section over the seam to optionally secure the wings to a top surface of the fitted sheet. In certain examples, the torso section may further include a constriction strap attached to an interior of the torso section to optionally constrict the chest and/or the arms of the infant. In certain examples, the back section may be attached to the fitted sheet by a sewn seam. In certain examples, the sewn seam may extend across the back section. In certain examples, the sewn seam may extend from the first arm opening to the second opening. In certain examples, the back section may be attached to the fitted sheet by a plurality of parallel sewn seams across the back section. In certain examples, the back section may be reversibly attached to the fitted sheet by a fourth plurality of fasteners.
