Bamboo Swaddles
Every swaddle here is 100% bamboo muslin, softer than cotton against newborn skin and quicker to shed heat, which matters in a bedroom that sits at 27 degrees before the air-con comes on. Singles and 2-packs for the classic wrap; the velcro wrap for 3am changes when nobody can manage origami.
Why bamboo for a Singapore newborn
A swaddled baby cannot shed a layer, so the fabric has to do the temperature work. Bamboo muslin moves moisture off the skin and dries fast, which keeps a swaddled newborn comfortable in the humidity that defeats heavier cottons. All prints are OEKO-TEX certified and soften further with every wash.
Which size and how many
One swaddle is never enough on laundry day in this climate, and most parents settle at three to four in rotation. The 120×120cm singles double later as pram covers, nursing covers and playmat layers, so they outlast the swaddling months by years.
Which swaddle to buy first
Start with a 2-pack or 3-pack of the full-size muslin if you plan to wrap by hand: one on the baby, one in the wash, one in the bag. Add a single in a print you love once you know your baby settles swaddled. The velcro wrap suits parents who want the same snug hold without learning the fold, and it is the one most often reached for at night. The 70×70cm travel pair is too small to swaddle past the first weeks; it earns its place as a burp cloth, pram shade and comfort square. Buying a gift?
