First Step Swaddle + Cap Ivory Forest

First step swaddle + newborn cap – comfort and calm for baby’s first weeks

The First Step Swaddle by Sleepee is one of the most effective and natural tools to help your newborn adjust to life outside the womb. Thoughtfully designed, this swaddle wrap for newborns gently recreates the cozy, secure environment your baby knew for nine months — helping them sleep longer, cry less, and feel safe from day one.

Why swaddling matters in the first weeks

Even before birth, babies start adapting to the day-night rhythm of their parents. But after birth, their sleep-wake cycles remain irregular. Swaddling is a natural way to help your newborn transition by organizing their sleep patterns and soothing their nervous system.

What the Sleepee swaddle offers your baby

• Recreates the sensations of the womb, helping babies feel safe and secure
• Prolongs uninterrupted sleep and encourages healthy rest cycles
• Reduces symptoms of colic by applying gentle, even pressure
• Eliminates Moro reflex startles (sudden jerks that wake the baby)
• Prevents scratching of the face by restricting uncontrolled hand movements
• Helps calm crying spells almost instantly

What makes Sleepee swaddles unique?

Unlike many wraps on the market, the Sleepee First Step Swaddle features an 8% elastane blend, making it one of the most flexible and comfortable swaddles available. This ensures a snug, secure wrap without restricting your baby’s natural micro-movements. Plus, the inside of the fabric has a smooth finish (no looped texture like the reverse of a sweatshirt), so it won’t irritate your baby’s delicate skin.

How to choose the right size

For the best results, choose your swaddle based on your baby’s weight — not age or length. The First Step Swaddle is ideal for babies weighing between 3 and 6.5 kg. A snug fit may seem tight at first glance, but this is exactly what helps your baby feel secure and soothed — much like being in the womb.

Includes a matching newborn cap

Each swaddle comes with a soft newborn hat to keep your baby’s head warm during naps and nighttime. The hat is selected at random and complements the comfort of the wrap perfectly.

Tip for new parents

For safer sleep, always place your swaddled baby on their back and avoid overheating by adjusting room temperature. If your baby fusses when first swaddled, give it a few days — the calming effects typically increase with consistency and routine. Combine with a white noise machine and soft lighting for the ultimate soothing environment.

The Sleepee First Step Swaddle + Cap is a gentle, effective way to help your baby feel safe, sleep better, and adjust smoothly to life outside the womb — a newborn essential you’ll wish you had from day one.
