Do Your Sleep Onesies Have Foot and Hand Cuffs?Updated 2 months ago

Hand cuffs are commonly used in baby sleepwear to prevent accidental scratches. Babies have less control over their movements and quickly-growing nails, so these cuffs help protect their sensitive skin, particularly in the early months when coordination is still developing.

As children grow and gain more control over their movements, their need for cuffs decreases. Older children may benefit from more freedom of movement while sleeping, making cuffs less necessary.

For this reason, our Sleep Onesies for children aged 4 years and older no longer include foot or hand cuffs, ensuring more comfort and flexibility as your little one sleeps.

It's also important to note that your baby's feet or hands might feel cooler than their core temperature. As long as their core is warm and dry to the touch, they are comfortable enough during sleep. You can check this by placing your hand on the skin of their nape or upper back.
