Innovative Babywrap Continues to Keep its Cool

Becoming a new parent brings so much joy, excitement and emotion, but the sleepless nights soon kick in causing panic and despair in many households. So many conflicting stories send parents into a spiral of confusion, but fortunately, Merino Kids, the internationally renowned safe sleepwear solution company, have shared some of their insider tips on safe swaddling.

As parents we want to protect and care for our precious little ones in a safe, comfortable and natural environment. The Merino Kids Cocooi Babywrap provides us with the ultimate care package for our loved ones. Not only does it keep them warm in colder temperatures, but it also has the ability to keep them cool when it’s really hot – helping to protect your baby against overheating and ultimately giving you and your baby a better night’s sleep!

Merino Kids Sales and Marketing Manager, Diana Kerr, explains “not only does the clever abilities of the merino wrap regulate temperature, but it has also been scientifically proven to help babies with sensitive skin & eczema problems thanks to its ability to absorb moisture away from the body. Its naturally breathable qualities help to keep your baby dry and less clammy as well as regulate their temperature - enabling them to stay settled and comfortable all year round”.

There has been much debate around whether to swaddle your beloved newborn at present, much of which comes down to design, but rest assured that the Merino Kids Cocooi Babywrap has been endorsed by some of the world’s leading experts, as well as winning many international design awards for its innovative design.

Occupational Therapist Sarah Twomey is an International Advisor to the International Hip Dysplasia Institute and Founder of Healthy Hips Australia. She explains that there are many benefits to swaddling during the first months of life, but wrapping babies too tightly could be doing more harm than good.

“It provides security and comfort and aides in settling and establishing sleep patterns. However, research indicates swaddling can increase the risk for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). DDH is a common childhood condition where the hip joint does not fit in the ‘normal’ position due to abnormal development and/or lack of growth of the joint’s ball and socket.”

Twomey was impressed with the Merino Kids Cocooi design as it is in-keeping with her healthy hips tips, especially due to its patented design allowing for a more snug fit at the top of the wrap, but a looser fit at the bottom allowing for more movement from the hips.

“When swaddling your baby, you should allow room around the hips for movement. The legs should be free to move into the natural frog position.”
Further design advantages of the Cocooi Babywrap include the innovative seat belt vent allowing your baby to be swaddled when riding in the car or buggy and the handy pouch design allows for quick nappy checks and changes in the night without unwrapping your baby's arms which might wake them. This all reduces handling your baby while swaddling and makes for a more relaxed sleep-time routine, which together with merino’s natural temperature-regulating qualities, make the Merino Kids Cocooi Babywrap the ideal sleeping environment for a newborn baby in any season.
