Swaddle Care & Safety Guide

Because Your Comfort and Safety Come First

Swaddling helps your newborn feel safe and settled, but safety always comes first. Here’s how to make sure your swaddle moments stay cosy and secure.

Swaddling Made Safe & Simple

Swaddle Care

Take care of me, baby! I like a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, or a cold hand wash. Line dry me somewhere shady. Please don’t bleach, tumble dry, dry clean or soak me. My colour may vary and my print will fade over time, it’s just part of my charm.

What Every Parent Should Know

Safe Swaddling Starts Here, Baby!

Only use me under adult supervision and keep me away from heat, open flames, and other hazards. Remove any loose items (including me) from the cot or bassinet during sleep, and always make sure your baby’s head stays uncovered. I’m not intended as a sleep aid, and if I’m looking a little worn or damaged, it’s time to stop using me.
