As the weather cools down and we reach for that thicker blanket many parents begin researching the best swaddle and sleeping bags for babies and children.
One of the most recognised baby brands, Tommee Tippee, have recently launched their Autumn and Winter Swaddlebags and Sleepbags, with their products allowing for safer independent sleep without the need for loose covers.
The Tommee Tippee Swaddlebags and Sleepbags are made from premium soft bamboo rich fabric with Tommee Tippee’s signature ALOEKIND lining that’s gentle on precious little one’s delicate skin. The Swaddlebag is easy to use and ensures your little one feels safe, snug and secure, to mimic that feeling of inside mum’s tummy.
Standout features of the Tommee Tippee Swaddlebag:
- Easy to use – the Swaddlebag include poppers on the armholes to either swaddle your little one with in for a snug feel or arms out so they can stretch.
- Slim chest – the chest is slim fitting and there’s plenty of room in the bottom for healthy hips. This allows your little one to adopt the natural ‘frog-legged’ sleeping position.
- Hip healthy – International hip Dysplasia Institute Approved
- Nappy changes are a breeze – if your little one needs a nappy change while in their Swaddlebag there’s an easy-to-use zipper, which allows for little disruption
- Suitable for newborns to 6 months – helps to reduce the startle reflex and prevent wakeups caused by wriggly arms
