A wearable weighted apparatus is capable of providing gentle, targeted pressure to an infant that can simulate the effect of being held by a caregiver. The wearable weighted apparatus comprises a textile base, and includes one or more wraps with a weighted region. The textile base may take the form of a conventional infant garment, or may take other forms such as a band or harness. When an infant is wearing the wearable weighted apparatus, the wrap may be extended across the infant's body such that the weighted region is positioned adjacent to a specific area of the infant's body, for example, the infant's chest. The weighted region may contain a filling that is slightly denser than the surrounding material, in order to provide gentle pressure to mimic the weight offered by a human hand or arm resting on a baby. The weighted region may have also dimensions designed to simulate the approximate size of a human hand, thus simulating the sensation of being held by a caregiver.

A sleep garment for an infant may include an enclosure for enclosing the infant. The enclosure may include one or more accommodation features such as a support element to position under the legs of the infant to elevate the feet, a weight element to position over the infant, or both.

Disclosed are implementations of swaddles including migration prevention and access features. In one embodiment, a swaddle includes continuous upper and lower portions wherein the upper portion includes a flap configured to be secured in a tucked condition to prevent downward migration into the swaddle and the lower portion includes a pocket for accessing the lower body while the infant remains swaddled, for example, to perform a diaper change. First and second fastener pairings secure the flap to the upper portion and left and right side portions in a folded condition, respectively. In embodiments, the left and right side portions may be removably attached to at least the upper portion.

A wearable blanket with a distributed weight system for providing gentle and soothing weight on an infant's body without excessive pressure with optional swaddling wings that are removably attached to the wearable blanket. The wearable blanket has an array of subpanels containing weight or pressure-inducing material that can be adjusted to provide evenly distributed weight throughout the front panel of the wearable garment or create a weight gradient to provide more focused weighted support to particular areas of the wearable blanket depending on the physical or medical need of the wearer. The subpanels are compartmentalized and separated from one another to prevent undesirable movement or accumulation of weighted material and may include individual pouches or containers to hold the weight or pressure-inducing material that allows for customization and adjustment of any of a number of the subpanels that constitute the distributed weight system.

A new or alternative swaddling garment that swaddles infants by sufficiently restraining movement of the limbs to suppress the startle reflex, yet allowing movement of hand to mouth thereby facilitating non-nutritive sucking and allowing the infant to self-soothe by sucking the hands or the fabric of the garment.

Infant swaddling allows an infant to be comfortably and easily swaddled. The swaddling includes a pouch featuring a lower end that can be opened and closed to allow an infant's soiled diaper to be easily removed and replaced or to take a rectal temperature. The swaddling can include a blanket that comprises a first blanket flap and a second blanket flap and that can be removably attached to the pouch. The swaddle is used by placing one of the blanket flaps over the pouch, and then placing the other blanket flap over the pouch.
