Bambino Merino Merino Wool Swaddling Blanket Petal

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 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

Merino swaddling blankets

• are made from breathable 100% natural fibres
• create a microclimate around baby's body to help regulate body temperature 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
