Learn how to swaddle your baby for safety using the Cocoon Swaddle Bag
The Cocoon Swaddle Bag is a zip-up swaddle for your newborn or baby to sleep in, without the need for blankets in the bassinet or cot environment. The press studs at the shoulders allow you to transition the swaddle into an arms out sleeping bag once baby shows signs of rolling, or for babies who don't like to be swaddled from birth. Watch our video above to learn how to swaddle a baby using the Cocoon Swaddle Bag, or follow the steps below.
How to Use the Cocoon Swaddle Bag
1. Lay Cocoon on flat, low surface with zip open and arm studs closed.
2. Lay baby on top of Cocoon. Tuck legs into swaddle, and zip up with baby's hands in desired position (by sides, or across chest).
3. To change a nappy or cool down baby, zip open from the bottom of the swaddle to release legs and lower torso. Zip closed again when finished.
4. Layer underneath for warmth as needed.
5. To transition to arms-out sleeping once showing signs of rolling, release arms by opening the studs on the shoulders. We suggest doing this one arm at a time over several days.

Please use your child's weight to find the most appropriate and safe size for them. To comply with safety requirements, our Cocoon Swaddle Bags have a firm fit around the neck, shoulder and chest area to prevent your little one from slipping inside. You should be able to put 2 fingers inside the neck opening for the correct fit. Please do not size up to the next size until your child meets the weight requirement, for safety reasons.
