Why swaddle
Why swaddle your newborn?
In the first weeks, many newborns are startled awake by their own reflexes, a sudden jerk of the arms just as they drift off. A snug swaddle keeps those little arms close, giving baby a secure, womb-like feeling that is a lot like being held. Many babies settle faster and sleep in longer stretches, which makes it a gentle, calming tool for naps and night feeds in the early months. Swaddle with care: always place baby on their back, keep the wrap loose around the hips, and stop as soon as baby starts trying to roll.
Safe swaddling
How to swaddle safely
A few simple habits keep swaddled sleep safe and comfortable.
- 1
Always place a swaddled baby on their back to sleep.
- 2
Wrap snugly around the chest, but keep it loose at the hips so baby's legs can bend up and out.
- 3
Keep the swaddle below baby's chin and away from the face.
- 4
Stop swaddling as soon as baby shows signs of trying to roll, and move to a sleeping bag.
- Back to sleep, always
- Loose at the hips
- Stop when baby tries to roll
Common questions
Everything parents ask
About bamboo muslin and choosing the right swaddle.
Is this a swaddle or a blanket?
Both, which is why it lasts well beyond the swaddling months. Stop swaddling as soon as baby shows signs of trying to roll, often from around 2 to 4 months. After that, the same muslin square becomes a pram cover, nursing cover, burp cloth, tummy-time mat or light cover for supervised cuddles.
How many swaddles do I need for a newborn?
Most mums find 3 to 4 enough: one on baby, one in the nappy bag and one in the wash.
Can I personalise it?
Yes. Choose name embroidery above and we will stitch baby's name at the bottom right corner. A named swaddle makes a lovely newborn, baby shower or 100-day gift. Personalised orders need 2 extra working days.
Does the embroidery feel stiff?
The stitched name feels a little firmer than the airy muslin around it. That is normal for embroidery on a light fabric, and we place it at the bottom right corner, away from baby's face. It is a small trade-off for a keepsake gift with baby's name on it.
What does OEKO-TEX certified mean?
OEKO-TEX certified fabric has been tested for harmful substances, so you can feel confident using it against a newborn's skin.
Is muslin too warm for Singapore weather?
No. Muslin is a light, open weave that lets air pass through, which is why it is a favourite for hot, humid days. This swaddle is a single layer, so it stays breathable for naps, pram walks and car rides.
Should I choose bamboo muslin or organic cotton?
Both are soft, breathable and come in a gift box. Our bamboo muslin swaddles are a 70% bamboo, 30% cotton blend in prints hand-drawn by The Elly Store. Our organic cotton swaddles are 100% GOTS-certified cotton in officially licensed Disney | Elly prints. Choose the print you love most.
