Every baby needs to be swaddled, and doing so with a blanket or sack made of bamboo makes a lot of sense. Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, plus it regulates body temperature, so it wicks moisture away from the body. It’s also non-irritating which is perfect for a delicate new baby, and is a natural UV protectant. A great eco-friendly and sustainable material, it’s practical because it’s fully machine washable. And if you’ve never felt bamboo fabric, you will definitely be surprised by it’s softness. Beba Bean’s Organic Bamboo Jersey Baby Swaddling Blanket is an oversized, triangle-shaped blanket made of 100% organically-grown bamboo fiber. Swaddling instructions are sewn right into the blanket for easy reference, which I love.

Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Bamboo Blanket Kiddopotamus makes their highly popular SwaddleMe blanket in a bamboo variety, too. This incorporates all the benefits of bamboo with their SwaddleMe design, which includes wings that provides a custom fit. This has been a popular product because the SwaddleMe, according to the manufacturer, “soothes infants and reduces symptoms of colic byrecreating the familiar, soothing snugness of the womb. It also reduces the incidence of the startle reflex, allowing babies to sleep for longer periods of time.” Plus it’s a timesaver, and helpful if you can’t wrap up your baby like a burrito in a traditional blanket - (it’s harder than you might think!). An excellent choice if you’re in the market for a baby shower or new baby gift - believe me, it will get a lot of use!

Hi - we have tried these and found we like the organic sleepsack swaddle from Halo better- have your tried it? The organic cotton is so soft and the design is great. There is a zipper that goes from top to bottom and that make diaper changing so easy - you don’t have un-wrap the little one for it! halosleep.com
