Pre-order now, for delivery 1st week September.

Incredibly soft & snug merino wrap for swaddling baby from birth. The superfine merino allows for a cosy wrap that will stay in place, whilst the natural stretch of the fibre also allows baby some gentle movement.

Here are just some of the benefits of swaddling:

* Swaddling imitates the closeness and security baby feels whilst snug inside the womb, making him feel safe and secure

* Calms and relaxes the baby, helping him sleep longer

* Prevents startling and waking from involuntary arm and leg movements (the moro reflex)

* Reduces risk factors associated with SIDS by helping baby to sleep on his back

Bambino Merino swaddling blankets . . .

* Are made from breathable 100% natural fibres
* Create a microclimate around baby's body to help regulate body temp naturally
* Are beautifully soft and keep baby comfortable and dry when nappy 'accidents' occur (Merino can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture before it feels damp)
* Are naturally stretchy, easier to wrap and stay in place better than other wraps
* Are naturally fire retardant and offer high UV protection
* Have lots of other uses - as a blanket for the pram, car or cot when baby is no longer swaddled

- Approximate size 95cm x 95cm

- Comes with a swaddling diagram and instructions.

- Matching new-born hat sold separately.

- Machine washable using a mild wool detergent.

This swaddle wrap is square and not shaped as many swaddling are these days. This means that it has a much longer life span as a multi - purpose blanket and can be used in the buggy or cot as well and as a cover for hot days and a comforter for baby.

CARE
Garments can be machine washed provided the following golden rules are followed.

•Always use an approved wool detergent such as Ecover Delicate for Silk & Wool, Persil Silk & Wool or Woolite. Don’t presume your usual non-bio detergent will be fine, if you check the label most say they are not suitable for wool

•Wash at a maximum temperature of 40˚c – any hotter and the wool will ‘felt’ and shrink
•Spin gently

•Do not soak

•Fabric conditioners or softeners are not recommended (or needed)

•Gently reshape the garment as you remove it from the washing machine

•Do not use bleach

•Merino doesn’t hold a lot of water so dries quickly on a drying rack or over a banister or radiator. If you have a tumble drier, make sure it has a low heat setting and use on this setting only

•Dry away from direct sunlight

•Cool iron if required (we have never found the need nor desire to do this)

Merino is naturally stain and odour resistant and requires less frequent washing than other fabrics – hooray!
