A little noisy – Between 70 and 80 dB. Vacuum cleaner.
Loud – Over 80 dB. Heavy traffic.
Opening a swaddle only takes a second or two, though most babies will not be disturbed, those who are more sensitive may be. Check out the information on ease of diaper/nappy changes to see if you need to fully unswaddle to do a diaper/nappy change.

Butterfly Swaddle
What sets the Butterfly Swaddle apart is its clever dual-wing system. The swaddle features removable outer wings that wrap around your baby, providing the secure feeling of traditional swaddling. When you’re ready to begin the transition process, these wings can be removed, revealing mesh inner wings that give your baby more freedom to move their arms while still preventing the wild flailing that can wake them up.
