How do I choose my Swado (size & fabric)?

When choosing a Swado for your baby, consider both the size and fabric for optimal comfort and safety.

Size Guide:

Swado comes in two sizes:

  • Small (S): Designed for newborns up to 3 months, weighing under 13 pounds, and measuring up to 22 inches long.
  • Medium (M): Ideal for babies aged 2-6 months, weighing over 9 pounds, and measuring longer than 20 inches (up to 30 inches).

We recommend starting newborns or premature babies with a size Small. For newborns above the 80th percentile, we suggest starting with a size Medium.

Fabric Selection:

All Swado swaddles are crafted from carefully chosen fabrics, ensuring your baby's comfort. Below suggestions are tailored to help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating:

  • Classic (Stripes): suitable for all seasons, providing breathability and comfort year-round.
  • Muslin & Bamboo: Ideal for warmer environments, offering excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties to keep your baby cool and comfortable.
  • Organic Cotton with Prints: Perfect for cooler environments, providing warmth and coziness for your baby.

Additional Tips:

Babies have a limited ability to regulate their body temperature, making them more susceptible to overheating than adults. Keep an eye on your baby's body temperature and make adjustments responsively, especially in warmer environments or when using thicker fabrics. Ensure proper airflow, and consider layering or using nude dressing to help keep your baby cool & comfortable. Pediatricians recommend keeping the room temperature between 68°F and 72°F (20°C to 22.2°C) for optimal sleep conditions for infants.
