Calm & Cosy Sun Safe Swaddle | UPF50+ — Not Your Average Muslin
Most swaddles are fine. This one is fabulous.
Fabulously soft. Fabulously stretchy. Fabulously versatile. And — because the Aussie sun is fierce — Fabulously UPF50+ certified.
Yep. While muslin swaddles cast shade. They don't block UV. Our swaddle does both.
Made from our signature fabric blend, it is silky smooth against newborn skin, featherlight in your hands, and thermoregulating across every season. The kind of swaddle that makes everything else in the drawer feel scratchy. It stretches just enough to create a firm, snug wrap without overtightening so baby feels secure and settled, just like in the womb.
At a generous 100 x 100cm, it's big enough for a proper swaddle and versatile enough to be your pram cover, nursing cover, change mat and emergency burp cloth all at once.
Because when you're a parent, everything has to earn its place in the bag.
The Difference is in the Fabric
This isn't a standard muslin or cotton-bamboo blend. Our signature fabric is a purposefully engineered combination of two advanced textile fibres.
TENCEL™ Lyocell is sustainably sourced and renowned for being exceptionally soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking — keeping baby's skin dry and comfortable in any temperature.
Smartcel™ Sensitive takes it further: medical grade zinc oxide is bonded into the fibre itself (not coated on top, not washed in). This gives the fabric hypoallergenic properties, antimicrobial benefits and UPF50+ protection that is designed to last the distance.
What Parents are Saying
"Worth every cent. I wish I had found these sooner." ★★★★★
"So much softer than our other swaddles, and I love knowing it's actually protecting her from the sun." ★★★★★
"Got three — one for the pram, one for the nursing station, one for the bag." ★★★★★
- Stretchy & Easy to Use: The perfect amount of stretch to assist you to create a cosy cocoon with just the right amount of tension - helping your little one feel calm and secure.
- Generously Sized: 100cm x 100cm. Big enough to swaddle properly. Light enough to stuff in your nappy bag without thinking about it. Doubles as a pram cover, nursing cover, change mat, and burp cloth — because you've already got enough to carry.
- Soft & Cosy: Luxuriously silky to touch, extremely breathable, and light as a feather. With superior moisture wicking properties, they are thermoregulating, keeping your baby cool in warm weather and cosy as the temperature starts to drop.
- Gentle on Little Skin - Naturally hypoallergenic, they are gentle on delicate skin and stay dry in warm and humid conditions to prevent irritation. Zinc Oxide is known for its soothing and skin protectant properties and provides an added layer of care and protection to calm the most sensitive skin.
- UPF50+ Certified — Not Just Shade:
Here's the thing about your average muslin: it blocks light. It doesn't block UV. Our zinc oxide-infused fabric is independently lab tested and rated UPF50+, blocking 98%+ of UVA and UVB rays. Use it outdoors with confidence.
- Eco-friendly: Made from sustainable materials and free from any nasty chemicals, our swaddles are not only good for your baby but also kind to the planet. No chemical UV blockers or fabric softeners here!
- Perfect for Spit-ups: Zinc oxide is naturally antimicrobial, which means it keeps the fabric fresher for longer and reduces odours from spit-ups. Essential when you're going through three swaddles a day.
