Newborn Safer Sleep with Cocooi

Superfine Merino

Modern science cannot duplicate the amazing natural properties of superfine merino wool fibre. Merino fibre is one-tenth the thickness of a human hair and this extraordinary fineness combined with its natural crimp produce millions of tiny air pockets which trap air to insulate your baby on the coldest nights. Merino fibre also has the remarkable ability to absorb and release moisture, to cool or warm your baby's body, thus regulating your baby's body temperature so they don't wake up cold or overheated. Overheating is a possible SIDS contributing factor and it has been suggested in medical circles that swaddling a baby in merino can help to lower the risk of SIDS.

Regulates Baby Body Temperature

The air temperature in a nursery can fluctuate from day to day, and into the early hours of the morning. A newborn baby often wakes either too hot or too cold because it takes time for their body to develop the full capability to regulate its temperature. Only merino fibre has the remarkable ability to regulate body temperature to compensate. It captures and circulates air to insulate your baby when the room temperature falls, and releases excess body heat and moisture as the room temperature rises, to create the perfect micro-climate around their body. For this reason the Cocooi Babywrap swaddling blanket is the ideal sleeping environment for a newborn baby in any season.

One Size Fits All

Merino fibres have an exceptional natural elasticity that allows them to be stretched up to one-third their length before returning to their original size. This explains how the Cocooi Babywrap fits babies perfectly from newborn to three months old. Swaddling beyond three months is not recommended by health professionals. The Cocooi Babywrap fits snugly and securely every time without use of spandex, arm restraints, knots, buttons, snaps or harsh and noisy velcro patches.

Award-Winning Design

The Cocooi Babywrap was awarded the Seal of Outstanding Design Quality in the prestigious 2008 iF Product Design Awards, and this year was recognized with a Red Dot Design Award.

Freedom to Move

With traditional swaddling blankets, babies can often squirm loose and scratch, twitch and wake themselves. By contrast, the natural stretch and return of Merino Kids' merino fabric combined with the innovative cross-over design of the Cocooi Babywrap allows for a natural diagonal flow of fabric over a baby's shoulder and across their chest. The soft fabric wings hug your baby close so they can't wriggle free and the cross-over design ensures no fabric bunches up around their face.

Machine-Washable

The Cocooi Babywrap is made from the finest-spun fabric, yet it can be machine washed and tumble-dried on a low heat setting. Merino is naturally resistant to stains and odours and the Cocooi Babywrap does not require frequent washing if aired regularly. It is quick-drying and there is no need for ironing.

Naturally Fire Resistant

Merino fabric is naturally fire resistant and it won’t melt and stick to skin like synthetics. The Cocooi Babywrap has passed vigorous fire safety tests and it is rated low fire risk.
