the intermediate section includes a second compression zone on the front and rear of the sack portion, the second compression zone is configured to apply a compression force to the infant when the infant sleep garment is worn by the infant, and the fastener extends through the second compression zone on the front or the rear of the sack portion; and
the compression force applied by the first compression zone is greater than or less than the compression force applied by the second compression zone.
