Bambino Merino Swaddling Blanket and Newborn Hat

The Bambino Merino sleeping bags have been incredibly popular at Naturebotts and now we'd like to introduce you to their incredibly soft merino wrap for swaddling babies from birth.

This naturally stretchy blanket is made from superfine merino for a really snug wrap that stays in place, helping your new baby to sleep longer by keeping him calm and relaxed whilst imitating the closeness and security of the womb.

Swaddling is proven to reduce the risk factors associated with SIDS by helping babies stay asleep on their backs. Also helps to prevent startling and waking from involuntary arm and leg movements, know as the moro reflex.

Matching this blanket is the tiny newborn knotted hat, also made from the softest merino wool to help your little one keep at just the right temperature. Buy individually or as a lovely set - a wonderful present for an expecting mum.

Merino wool creates a microclimate around the baby's body to help regulate temperature naturally so there is no risk of overheating. It can also absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp.

Once you've finished swaddling your baby and moved onto the sleeping bag this can be used as a lovely soft pram blanket.

100% natural fibres. The blanket comes with swaddling instructions.

June 2010:  Bambino Merino have told us that they have a delay with their manufacturer and we will not be able to have any more swaddling blankets or hats until September. We apologise for any inconvenience.
