Product Information

For parents and caregivers of tall babies, The Ollie Swaddle offers the personalization you’ll need to find the right fit. These “sleep starts” ormyclonicjerks are perfectly normalbut in some babies, they can delay theonset of sleep and make the whole process of drifting off a real struggle.

If you pick your baby up to feed or comfort them, check the Groswaddle to make sure it’s still secure, and does not cover your baby’s face when you put them down.Soft material and just like grobags come with a temperature guide on the side so you know exactly what baby should be wearing under the swaddle blanket so they don't get too hot or cold.

Make sure your baby is not overdressed under the swaddle, that they have their head uncovered and do not have an infection or fever. MFM home tester Krupa, mum of 2 boys said, it's "so easy to use" and it "swaddled enough for him not to cover his mouth". MFM home tester Sammy, mother of 2 boys said, "we chose to use a cellular blanket to swaddle our second baby because it was winter when he was born and the blankets felt like a warm and cosy option". Wrapping or swaddling baby with their arms inside soft fabric helps mimic the closeness of the womb and suppresses the startle reflex which can wake babies up.MFM home tester Emily used the Love to Dream swaddle with her baby and said, it's "super easy to use, literally pop them in and zip up, ready to go".

However, it’s worth noting that while this zip sack offers flexibility, it should not be used for babies who can roll over because it can restrict their range of motion. We asked a group of real mums what they used to swaddle their baby and what they liked and disliked about it. Our Swaddlebags have been designed to be snug up top and wriggly down below - slim fitting through the chest to enable full freedom of movement without restriction or excess bulk with a roomy, hip-healthy bottom to allow your baby to adopt a natural “frog-legged” sleeping position, which is important for correct hip development. However, while the 0-3 and 3-6 month Woombies are readily available, we found the 6-9 month ‘mega baby’ sizes difficult to track down online in the UK at the time of writing.

You can then loosen a little (obviously not too loose to be dangerous) until you are ready to pop in a sleeping bag instead. Use a light cotton materialsuch as anewbornswaddle or swaddle blanketand make sure that the swaddling finishes at shoulder height. If you choose to swaddle your baby with their arms free as they get older, you may want to adjust their clothing.Katie said, "although that doesn't sound that long, we found it invaluable at the time to help her settle at night".
