Decorative Infant Swaddling System

Abstract

The invention disclosed herein generally relates to improved apparatus, systems and methods of infant swaddling. In some preferred embodiments, the inventive technology may provide for one or more swaddling arms that may provide a variable compressive force. Further, an infant compartment may help secure the infant in an optimal position for swaddling as well as provides for additional warmth and padding in instances where one or more swaddling arms may provide a variable loose and/or tight swaddle. Some embodiments may include modular infant support components as well as ventilation elements.
