Sleep, swaddling and what a baby wears to bed
Almost every sleep question a parent asks turns out to be a question about temperature, layers or timing rather than about technique. That is the thread running through these guides: how to swaddle and when to stop, what a baby should wear given the room they are actually sleeping in, how often bedding needs changing, and which disruptions are developmental and simply have to be waited out.
We are a textiles brand, so we are more use on the fabric and layering questions than on sleep training, and we have not written about the latter. Where the honest answer is that something does not matter much — the full moon, for instance — we say so.
