SwaddleMe Store

Frequently Asked Questions

Product questions

Which size do I order?

Go by weight, not age. Every product page lists the weight range for each size. Between sizes, lean babies stay in the smaller size longer; sturdy babies move up early. Pods are meant to fit snug — do not size up “to grow into.”

When do I have to stop swaddling?

The day your baby first shows signs of rolling over, arms-in swaddling ends. Move to a transition style or an arms-out sleep sack — the snug torso feeling stays, the arms come free.

Are these safe for hips?

The leg pouch on SwaddleMe styles is deliberately roomy so legs can bend up and out in the frog-leg position. Wrap snug across the arms and chest, never tight across the hips and legs.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash warm, tumble low. Close the hook-and-loop wings first so they do not grab other laundry. Skip fabric softener on the velboa plush to keep the pile.

Cotton, muslin or velboa?

Cotton is the year-round default, muslin breathes best for warm rooms and summer, velboa is the winter option. The Perfect Temp organic line adds mesh vents for babies who run hot. More detail is in the fabric guide on our home page.

Ordering questions

Who actually sells me the product?

SwaddleMe Store is an independent catalog. When you click through to buy, the order is completed with our retail partner — they handle payment, delivery and returns under their own policies.

Why is the price at checkout slightly different?

Prices in the catalog are refreshed regularly, but the retailer’s live price at checkout is always the one that counts — along with any promotions or membership discounts they apply.

What payment methods can I use?

Whatever the retail partner accepts — the full list of cards and payment options is shown on their checkout page.

An item shows as unavailable. Will it come back?

Usually yes; popular prints rotate in and out of stock. Check back within a week or two, or ask us — we often know which prints are being replaced rather than restocked.
