Tightly and securely bound in the Swaddler - sleep like in mummy's tummy

Your newborn has felt the loving confines of your womb for many months. This natural confinement was home to your tiny treasure. Shortly after birth, everything for your baby is suddenly bright, loud, and boundless. No wonder this new freedom can lead to restlessness or even sleepless nights for your baby, especially in the first few months.

Lack of sleep is already a big challenge for you and your baby in the first exciting phase. A sleep routine has to find itself first and there are a few things you can do to support your little one in this.

Recommended by experts - the Swaddler from Ergobaby.

That's why babywearing in a wrap or an ergonomic baby carrier, is the best thing you can do for your baby. When you put your sleeping baby down try to get some rest too. The early days demand all your strength.

Many midwives and paediatricians also advise swaddlers for newborns. Wrapped correctly in a wrap or swaddler, your baby will quickly regain its calmness - making it easier for all of you to sleep.

Swaddlers from Ergobaby - cleverly thought out

Many parents are unsure about swaddling: How do I swaddle correctly? Does swaddling harm my baby's hips? We at Ergobaby have considered all your questions and have therefore designed the Ergobaby Swaddler that is super easy to put on thanks to the arm pockets and the Velcro fasteners (you can see exactly how here). Swaddling is child's play.

The intelligent design of the Ergobaby swaddler makes it intuitive and easy to use, and allows the baby's legs and hips to move freely, unlike traditional childcare swaddler:

Healthy for baby's hips - Ergobaby Swaddlers

Our hip positioner keeps the Swaddler nice and snug and prevents it from slipping but allows the hips to move naturally. This is one of the reasons why the "International Hip Dysplasia Institute" has awarded our Swaddler for newborns the rating "healthy for the hip".

Swaddling with a Swaddler - from when is it possible?

You can put your baby in the Ergobaby Swaddler from birth onwards. This will help your newborn to settle more quickly and get into the deep sleep phase when sleeping in a cot. Most babies let themselves be swaddled until they are three or four months old. In numbers, this means 47 to 61 centimetres or 3.2 to 6.4 kilograms. These are only guidelines: all babies are different.

Very comfortable - for parents too

The Swaddler from Ergobaby is made of cuddly soft cotton and comes in many different cute designs. If you need to wash your Swaddler, it can be machine washed at 30°C. The arm pockets with Velcro fastenings are easy to use for parents. The arm pockets with Velcro fasteners put the little arms in the right position and give the self-explanatory step-by-step order of putting it on. You can easily nappy change thanks to the foldable sleeping bag (while the arms remain swaddled), so you can swaddle your darling without releasing the little arms and disturbing their rest.

In the beginning there was swaddling - what comes next?

After a few months your newborn becomes a baby and starts to move more. Time to say goodbye to the swaddler. If you want to continue giving your baby a swadled feeling, you should buy our Aura wrap or Embrace baby carrier. They also provide maximum skin-to-skin feeling.

The next stage on from swaddling your child during sleep is sleeping bags. Our Classic Sleeping Bag is made from soft, breathable, machine-washable cotton, with two-way zips for easy nappy changes. There’s even a harness slot for use in strollers and car seats, making them convenient essentials for all parents at home or on the go. When used correctly, sleeping bags help you follow safe sleep guidelines by preventing your baby’s head from being covered by wriggling under bedding, as well as helping you child stay at a constant temperature.
