6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lateral ends of the singular leg portion form points at the lower extent.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the compartment periphery is formed via proximal and distal fabric layers coupled to each other and the apparatus further comprises:
a fastener in the proximal fabric layer of the transition wrap extending vertically downward along the proximal fabric layer so as to allow one to open the transition wrap, wherein the fastener comprises a zipper.
8 . An apparatus for transitioning swaddling of a baby, the apparatus comprising:
an enclosure having one or more fabric layers at least partially encasing a compartment configured to receive a body of a baby within the enclosure;
the compartment comprising a central body portion comprising a midline and a neck opening disposed at an upper extent of the body portion at said midline;
the compartment comprising a pair of triangular-shaped sleeves forming a portion of a compartment periphery at the upper extent and extending laterally outward from the neck opening such that the upper extent terminates at respective sleeve lateral endpoints, wherein the compartment periphery forms an apex angle or tip at each of the sleeve lateral endpoints, and wherein the compartment periphery is configured to cover and encase respective arm limbs of the baby while disposed within the enclosure; and
the compartment comprising a singular leg portion extending laterally outward and downward from a waist defined at a bottom of the pair of triangular-shaped sleeves to form a trapezoidal shape extending laterally outward toward a lower extent of the compartment periphery, wherein the lateral ends of the singular leg portion form points at the lower extent.
9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a vertical distance between the lower extent and the neck opening at the midline is at least equal to a vertical distance between the lower extent and the neck opening at the lateral ends of the lower extent.
10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the apparatus is configured for size adjustment and wherein the size adjustment increases or decreases the size of the transition wrap.
11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the lateral ends of the singular leg portion form points at the lower extent.
12 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the compartment periphery is formed via proximal and distal fabric layers coupled to each other and the apparatus further comprises:
a fastener in the proximal fabric layer of the transition wrap extending vertically downward along the proximal fabric layer so as to configured to allow a user to open the transition wrap, wherein the fastener comprises a zipper.
13 . A swaddle transition device, comprising:
an enclosure having one or more fabric layers at least partially encasing a compartment configured to receive a body of a baby within the enclosure;
the compartment comprising a central body portion comprising a midline and a neck opening disposed at an upper extent of the body portion at said midline;
the compartment comprising a pair of triangular-shaped sleeves forming a portion of a compartment periphery at the upper extent and extending laterally outward from the neck opening such that the upper extent terminates at respective sleeve lateral endpoints, wherein the triangular-shaped sleeves each extend along a downward slope from the neck opening toward respective sleeve lateral endpoints, and then extend inward at a downward slope toward said midline to terminate at a waist of said body portion such that the compartment periphery forms said triangular shaped sleeves configured to cover and encase respective arm limbs of the baby while disposed within the enclosure; and
the compartment comprising a singular leg portion extending laterally outward and downward from the waist to form a trapezoidal shape extending laterally outward toward a lower extent of the compartment periphery, wherein a vertex is formed at the waist by the leg portion and each of the pair of triangular-shaped sleeves, and wherein the lateral ends of the singular leg portion form points at the lower extent;
wherein the enclosure as defined by the triangular shape of the sleeves and the trapezoidal shape of the leg portion in relation to the body portion, configured to allow movement of the arm limbs and leg limbs of the baby, when positioned in the enclosure, with slight resistance with respect to the enclosure so as to limit a startle reflex movement of the baby.
14 . The device of claim 13 , wherein a vertical distance between the lower extent and the neck opening at the midline is at least equal to a vertical distance between the lower extent and the neck opening at the lateral ends of the lower extent.
15 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the sleeve lateral endpoints each form an angle between the outward downward slope and inward downward slope of the compartment periphery.
