How long should I swaddle my baby?

Swaddling is generally recommended from birth until your baby shows signs of rolling (usually 2–4 months). The TatoWrap Swaddle is designed for newborns, while the TatoWrap+ Swaddle features removable sleeves and a two-way zip for easy nappy changes as baby transitions.

Is it safe to swaddle a baby overnight?

Swaddling at night is safe as long as the baby is placed on their back and the swaddle is snug but not too tight around the hips. Both the TatoWrap Swaddle and TatoWrap+ Swaddle are designed with safe hip room and breathable bamboo-blend fabric.

What fabric is best for a baby swaddle in Malaysia?

In Malaysia's tropical climate, breathable and thermoregulating fabric is essential. The TatoWrap Swaddle uses a bamboo-blend fabric that keeps babies cool in humid heat and warm in air-conditioning.

What is the difference between a muslin swaddle and a zip swaddle?

A muslin swaddle is a large square of lightweight fabric you wrap manually, while a zip swaddle has a built-in zipper for easy and consistent swaddling. The TatoWrap+ Swaddle features a two-way zip that opens from both the top and the bottom for nighttime nappy changes without fully unwrapping your baby.

At what stage should I stop swaddling my baby?

Stop swaddling when your baby begins to show signs of rolling over, regardless of age or weight — typically around 3–4 months. When you see rolling attempts, transition to the TatoWrap+ Swaddle with arms out, or move to an arms-free sleep sack.

Can a swaddle help with a baby's startle reflex?

Yes — swaddling gently restrains a baby's arms, which reduces the Moro (startle) reflex and helps babies sleep longer stretches. The TatoWrap Swaddle and TatoWrap+ Swaddle are both designed to recreate the snug, secure feeling of the womb.

How do I transition my baby out of a swaddle?

Begin by swaddling with one arm out, then both arms out over a few nights, then move to a sleep sack. The TatoWrap+ Swaddle's removable sleeves are designed exactly for this gradual transition — start with both arms in, then one arm out, then both out.
