What it helps with

Twenty minutes to wrap. Two seconds to undo. Nappy needed.

Origami with a muslin at 3am, then starting again after every nappy.

Zip up, done. Arms stay snug, hands where they like them.

How to use
  1. Lay them in, arms by their sides or up by their face, whichever they prefer.
  2. Zip up from the feet. The roomy bottom leaves their hips free to bend.
  3. For nappy changes, unzip, change and zip back up.
Safety & honest notes
  • Stop swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of trying to roll. That's the Lullaby Trust's advice, and ours.
  • Always on their back, never over the head, and don't pile blankets on top. It's a light layer; check they aren't too warm.

Honest notes

What it does, and what it doesn't.

  • Stop swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of trying to roll. That's the Lullaby Trust's advice, and ours.

Questions

Asked by parents like you.

Something else? Ask a real person. We reply within one working day.

When do we move on from it?

When they start trying to roll, or by around 3–4 months at the latest. Then a sleep bag with their arms out: our Stay-On Sleep Bag 2.5 Tog is the next step.

Is delivery really free?

Yes. Every order ships free across the UK in 2–4 working days, with no minimum spend. Next-day delivery is £4.95.

What if it doesn't work for us?

You have 60 nights to try it at home. If it doesn't help, send it back for a refund. Feeding and hygiene items need to be unopened.
