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

- 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

- 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 golden rules of washing are followed - see manufacturer info.
