Description
The nurse made it look effortless, and then you got home and the wrap fell apart by the second feed. This one is big enough to do what hers did.
Letters, rainbows, donuts, and watermelons — the alphabet, but friendlier.
It measures 47 by 119 cm / 47 in — the size that actually holds. Most hospital swaddles come out around 112 cm / 44 in, and that small difference is exactly where a wrap goes from snug to loose at 3 a.m. Three inches sounds like nothing on paper; after about week three, you'll know which one you wish you'd been handed.
Material. Tanboocel® Bamboo Viscose, blended with cotton and woven into open-weave muslin. Tanboocel® is a branded bamboo viscose made through a closed-loop process — third-party verified, with a lower water and chemical footprint than the generic bamboo rayon most brands quietly label "bamboo." It gets softer after the fifth wash than on day one, the opposite of how cotton ages.
The print. Pale mint-seafoam ground with multicoloured hand-drawn letters A through Z, smiling apples and watermelon slices, ladybugs, suns, rainbows, donuts, umbrellas, small flowers.
One blanket, many jobs. The newborn swaddle is the first use. After the swaddle phase ends — 8 to 16 weeks for most babies — the same blanket becomes a nursing cover, a stroller shade, a tummy-time mat, a burp cloth, and a light summer blanket. It outlasts the swaddle window by years.
When to stop swaddling. The arms-in swaddle ends the moment the baby shows signs of rolling — usually 8–16 weeks. The Canadian Paediatric Society's guidance is firm on this. Past that point, switch to a 0.5 TOG muslin sleep bag (warm nursery) or a 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ sleep bag (everyday nursery) with arms free.
Adjacent products. Once the swaddle phase ends, the natural next step is a 0.5 TOG Muslin Sleep Bag for warm nurseries or a 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ Sleep Bag for the everyday 21–24°C room.
Care. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Tanboocel® takes the dryer better than bamboo rayon, with less pilling and shrinkage over time. Don't bleach; iron on low only if you need to.
Safety & certification. Tested to Health Canada's Textile Flammability Regulations, and to CPSIA and ASTM standards. The material is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and Loulou Lollipop is a Certified B Corporation.
Common questions
When should I stop swaddling my baby?
Stop the arms-in swaddle the moment the baby shows signs of rolling — usually 8–16 weeks. After that, switch to a 0.5 or 1.0 TOG sleep bag with arms free. The Canadian Paediatric Society is firm on this: stop swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of rolling over.
What size swaddle blanket is best?
47x119 cm / 47 in is the size that holds together. Hospital swaddles are usually 44x44 and that's where the swaddle goes from snug to loose at 3 a.m. The three-inch difference matters more than it sounds like it should.
Can I use a muslin swaddle as a nursing cover?
Yes. The same blanket works as a nursing cover, a stroller shade, a tummy-time mat, a lightweight summer blanket, and a burp cloth. Open-weave muslin breathes well enough that you're not creating a hot pocket while feeding.
