Care
How to wash and dry your Cocoon Swaddle Bag
Gentle cold machine wash in mild detergent
Do not soak or bleach
Tumble dry low
Warm iron if required
Do not dry clean
When cared for properly, this product will last several years and can be used for more than one baby. Our TOGs don't lose their warmth ratings over time, but a gentle fluff up in the dryer on a low setting helps maintain the fibre's loft, allowing air to circulate more effectively.
Ensure you buy the correct size for your baby's weight, to prevent the Cocoon Swaddle Bag from riding up around your baby's face or calming startle reflex. See our Size Guide for more information. Contact our Customer Service team if you're unsure if you have received the correct size for your baby's weight. Not suitable for use in a 5 point harness. Always sleep baby in a safe sleep environment.
Fire Hazard Label
As this product is made from organic cotton and bamboo and is not treated with chemical fire retardants the following white fire label applies.
FIRE HAZARD LABEL according to AS/NZS 1249:2014: CAUTION Keep away from heat and flame.
WT* is Swaddling?!
Swaddling is the practice of wrapping a newborn for sleep so they feel safe and secure, similar to that snug feeling of being in the womb. Swaddling also calms and contains the Startle Reflex - a completely natural but jerky and disruptive movement that can cause 'startling' i.e cause a baby to wake during sleep. The Cocoon Swaddle Bag is a zip-up swaddle to make swaddling safer, simpler and more effective for tired parents and sleepy babies.
Swaddling according to Startle Reflex strength
The newborn Startle Reflex is strongest at birth, and fades as a baby grows, usually disappearing around the 8-12 week mark. If your baby has a strong startle reflex, swaddle using the Cocoon Swaddle Bag with their arms in, and as their reflex fades graduate to hands up* and eventually arms out by opening the press studs at the shoulders. The Cocoon takes your baby from swaddled to sleeping bag in one handy product.
*Add a Butterfly Cardi to swaddle hands up, sold separately.
More to Love
The two way zip makes swaddling easy; simply zip baby in. A lifesaver for easy dressing and even easier overnight nappy changes to get your mini back to sleep, faster.
The firm-yet-stretchy fit comforts and soothes baby, whilst still allowing for natural movement, full chest expansion and healthy joint development. Its bell-shaped design is approved as hip-healthy to help prevent hip dysplasia. The Cocoon is preferred by medical professionals for its ergonomic design, and safe and easy fit, and non-toxic Organic Cotton is kind to baby's porous and sensitive skin.
TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade, and is a measure of warmth in fabric. When using a TOG-rated swaddle, you do not need additional loose blankets in the bassinet/cot making it a safer, more reliable option. Choose a TOG suitable to the room temperature of baby's sleep environment, and be assured that your baby is safe, warm and secure in our non-toxic, organic and natural fibres. Follow our What To Wear Guide for how to layer underneath the swaddle.
