What our experts say...
This is by far the softest sleep swaddle I have ever had in my life! I feels so so soft! This would be my top pick in swaddles! Super soft, nice stretch to it. I love the colour and it fits the little babe perfectly. I love the “our story” attached as it makes a nice little personal touch. Overall a great swaddle bag. Wish I had this while he was smaller. Minimal packaging when it arrived.
I love that they are supporting Aussie farmers and buying 100% Aussie Merino wool and supporting local, as it is so important to support Aussie made where we can.

The fabric is buttery soft and stretchy over my larger-than-life newborn. The mechanism of the swaddle itself was quick to learn and secured my wriggly newborn down tightly. I love that the fabric is comprised of natural and ethically grown fibres, which meant that our newborn would not be irritated or overheat. I also value their support for local Australian farmers and businesses.

As a new mother, we have so much to learn and worry about! This incredible swaddle bag takes away a lot of the stress I know I experienced in those early days. Gently and easily keeping little hands tucked in and also providing a beautifully thermoregulated sleep environment, bub will be comfortable and safe, even with fluctuations in temperature. Even if you have a little Houdini, this will keep arms tucked close. Made from the softest merino I’ve ever felt, I love that this bag is made in Australia.
