A swaddling device is described. The swaddling device includes a sack configured to substantially enclose a baby. The sack includes sleeves and an attached wrap configured to swaddle the baby. The swaddling device at least partially restricts movement of the baby and thereby suppresses the Moro Reflex, while also snugly enveloping the torso of the baby and thereby providing constant moderate pressure thereto. The wrap is sufficiently narrow so as not to restrict movement of the baby's hips and knees, while also providing access to the lower portion of the baby for diaper changes. Some versions of the device include sleeves having at their ends foldover mitten cuffs or other selectively openable mechanism. The cuffs allow a caregiver to expose the hand or hands of the baby so as to provide skin-to-skin contact. Alternatively, the caregiver can close the cuffs if scratching is a concern.

Insulated sleeping bags suitable for use in outdoor environments in ambient temperatures at least as low as 0° F./−18° C. are disclosed. Particularly, the sleeping bags are sized to accommodate young children. The disclosed sleeping bags ensure that the young child using the sleeping bag is insulated against cold ambient temperatures during sleep and eliminates the suffocation hazards posed by previously known cold weather sleeping arrangements for young children.

A swaddling device is described. The swaddling device is Y-shaped pod shaped and configured to substantially enclose a baby. The device includes sleeves having at their ends foldover mitten cuffs or similar selectively openable fasteners. The cuffs allow a caregiver to expose the hand or hands of the baby so as to provide skin-to-skin contact. Alternatively, the caregiver can close the cuffs if scratching is a concern. The device is shaped to provide support and snugness for the baby in its mid-section, while also providing sufficient space for hips and knees to flex. The design of the Swaddle Sack with swaddle snugness provides support and partial suppression of the Moro Reflex without arm restraints and allowing sufficient range of motion for baby's upper section which will reduce risk of suffocation for baby in the event that baby rolls over to prone position, because baby will be able to use his or her arms to reposition his or her head to get access to air.

Aspects described herein generally relate to articles of apparel having an upper body garment, a lower body garment, and an engagement device configured to removably engage the upper body portion and the lower body portion. The engagement device may comprise a continuous zipper.

A brassiere pocket assembly for storing objects in a brassiere includes a brassiere that has a pair of cups such that the brassiere can be worn as a female undergarment. Each of the cups has an opening extending into an interior of the cups. A pair of pouches is each integrated into a respective one of the cups. Each of the pouches is aligned with the opening in the respective cup to receive objects for storage. A pair of closures is each slidably integrated into a respective one of the cups. Each of the closures is aligned with the opening in the respective cup for opening and closing the opening.

An infant calming/sleep-aid/SIDS detection device is provided that includes a main moving platform that moves in a variable manner with accompanying variable sound generation, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device may also have a sensor for detection of pauses in breathing and/or detection of resultant biological changes related to breathing pauses and respond with appropriate stimuli to arouse the baby and allow breathing to recommence.
