Comfort for Babies Who Don’t Love Swaddling

Not all babies enjoy sleeping with their arms swaddled in. The Butterfly Cardi is designed to support babies who prefer their hands near their face, while also acting as a gentle transition aid for arms-out sleeping.

Hands-Up Sleeping Support

Some newborns naturally self-soothe with their hands up near their face. The Butterfly Cardi allows for this position while still providing a sense of containment.

Simply wear the Cocoon Swaddle Bag (sold separately) with arms-out, then layer the Butterfly Cardi over the top and place hands inside the fold-over arm pockets. This setup is safe from birth when using the 0–3 month size.

Paired together, the Cocoon Swaddle Bag and Butterfly Cardi give parents three flexible sleep options:

• Arms-in
• Arms-out
• Hands-up

A Gentle Way to Transition Out of Swaddling

Once your baby begins showing signs of rolling, it’s important to transition to arms-out sleeping for safety. The Butterfly Cardi is designed to be worn over a swaddle or sleeping bag to help make this transition gradual and comfortable.

With a lightweight 0.2 TOG rating, it can be used over any sleeping bag in any room temperature.

Designed to Reduce Startle Reflex

The Butterfly Cardi features fold-over arm pockets that recreate the feeling of swaddling while slowly introducing arms-out sleep.

• Release one arm at a time into the pocket
• Adjust press studs for a firmer or looser fit
• Allows access to hands for self-soothing

This gradual approach helps reduce sleep disruption while your baby adjusts to a new sleep position.

Safe, Stretchy & Hip-Friendly

The super-stretch fabric allows full chest expansion for safe breathing and does not interfere with your baby’s natural sleeping position or healthy hip development.

Organic, Breathable & Skin-Friendly

Made from premium GOTS-certified organic jersey cotton, the Butterfly Cardi is breathable, temperature-regulating, and gentle on sensitive or eczema-prone skin. All fabrics are dyed with non-toxic, water-based dyes.

3. Place hands inside the fold-over arm pockets.
4. Adjust press studs for desired firmness.

For Transitioning Out of a Swaddle

Begin transitioning as soon as your baby shows signs of wanting to roll.

Days 1–3
Use the Butterfly Cardi with both arms contained in the fold-over pockets for all sleeps.

Days 4–7
Release one arm from the pocket for all sleeps.

Days 8–10
Release the second arm. On the final day, remove the Cardi completely — baby is now sleeping arms-out.

Always place baby on their back to sleep in a safe sleep environment.
