FAQs

In his book The Happiest Baby on the Block, Pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, MD, says that swaddling helps to recreate the snug and familiar environment of the womb. Additionally, he adds, "the world is too big for them! That's why they love to be cuddled.” He explains that the reason swaddling keeps babies calm is because it prevents them from flailing their arms and startling themselves awake. Therefore, they will sleep longer and more peacefully and be happier babies.

We sell out of many of our products very quickly and often times we are unable to purchase more of a particular print. So if you see something you love on our site we recommend you purchase it quickly because it may never be available again. However, if a product is sold out and we are able to restock it there will be a notify me button near the add to cart feature. Clicking this will trigger an email to be sent when the product is restocked.  

The age for weaning off the wrapping varies from baby to baby. Many people think they should stop swaddling after a few weeks, when their baby starts resisting it. But, actually, this is when swaddling becomes the most valuable. To decide if your infant no longer needs to be wrapped, try this: After she reaches 2 to 3 months of age, swaddle her with one arm out. If she gets fussier, continue wrapping (with both arms in) for a few more weeks. However, if she still sleeps well with one arm out, she probably doesn’t need swaddling any more. Most babies are ready to be weaned off wrapping by 3 to 4 months of age, although some continue to need the wrapping to help them sleep up to 9 months of age.
