SwaddleMe Organic Swaddle | 100% Organic Cotton Baby Swaddle
We created the SwaddleMe Organic swaddle for parents who want certified organic cotton next to baby's delicate skin. This soft, breathable wrap features our signature adjustable wings with secure hook-and-loop fasteners that keep babies snug without loose blankets in the crib.
The 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric is grown without pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers, so you can rest easy knowing your newborn is wrapped in the purest fibers. Our adjustable design accommodates babies from birth through 3 months (7-14 lbs), and the back zipper makes diaper changes quick and simple without unwrapping baby completely.
We designed this swaddle to help newborns sleep longer and more soundly by gently containing the startle reflex. The roomy sack keeps hips and legs in a natural, healthy position while the wings provide just-right tension across the chest and arms.
Organic fabric & design details
Certified organic cotton fabric
We source only Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified cotton for the SwaddleMe Organic swaddle, which means every step from field to finished product meets strict environmental and social criteria. The cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMO seeds, then processed without harsh chemicals, optical brighteners, or formaldehyde.
This certification matters because newborn skin is up to 30% thinner than adult skin and absorbs substances more readily. By choosing organic fibers, you eliminate baby’s exposure to residual agricultural chemicals and textile processing additives. The natural cotton also breathes better than synthetic blends, helping regulate baby’s temperature during sleep.
Adjustable secure-wrap design
Adjustable Wing System
The SwaddleMe Organic features our patented adjustable wings that cross over baby’s chest and secure with hook-and-loop fasteners at the sides. You can customize the tightness to match your baby’s size and preference, creating a snug womb-like feeling that soothes fussy newborns. As baby grows, simply adjust the overlap for a perfect fit throughout the first three months.
The wings stay firmly in place all night — no more middle-of-the-night rewrapping when baby kicks free. This secure containment helps prevent the startle reflex from waking baby while keeping arms safely at the sides.
Sizing and fit guide
The SwaddleMe Organic is designed for babies 7-14 pounds, which typically covers birth through approximately 3 months. We recommend measuring baby’s weight rather than relying solely on age, since growth rates vary.
For the best fit, position baby in the sack with shoulders at the top seam, then wrap the left wing across the chest and tuck the end into the right-side pocket. Cross the right wing over and secure the hook-and-loop tab on the outside. You should be able to slip two fingers between the fabric and baby’s chest — snug but not restrictive.

SwaddleMe Organic swaddle questions
Yes, our SwaddleMe Organic swaddle meets all current safe sleep guidelines when used properly. The design keeps fabric away from baby's face, allows healthy hip positioning, and eliminates loose blankets in the crib. Always place baby on their back to sleep and stop swaddling when baby shows signs of rolling over.
The swaddle is independently tested and certified to meet ASTM F1759 and CPSC safety standards for infant sleep products. We also hold GOTS certification for the organic cotton materials and manufacturing process.
The primary difference is the fabric composition. The SwaddleMe Organic uses 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton grown and processed without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical treatments. The Original SwaddleMe typically features a cotton-polyester blend.
Both versions share the same patented adjustable wing design, secure hook-and-loop fasteners, and back zipper for diaper changes. Many parents choose the organic version for the first few months when newborn skin is most sensitive, then add Original SwaddleMe wraps in fun prints as baby grows.
The SwaddleMe Organic is designed for arms-in swaddling to contain the startle reflex during the newborn stage. If your baby prefers arms near their face or is transitioning out of swaddling, we recommend our SwaddleMe Arms Free or Wiggle Blanket designs instead.
These transition products still provide the secure feeling of swaddling around the torso while allowing hand-to-mouth self-soothing. Most babies are ready for arms-out sleep between 8-12 weeks or whenever they begin attempting to roll over.
Organic cotton is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, making the SwaddleMe Organic suitable for year-round use in climate-controlled homes. The lightweight weave allows air circulation while providing the gentle compression babies find comforting.
To prevent overheating, dress baby in no more than one light layer under the swaddle — typically just a onesie or diaper in warm weather. Keep the nursery between 68-72°F and watch for signs of overheating like sweating, damp hair, flushed cheeks, or rapid breathing.
We recommend starting with 2-3 swaddles so you always have a clean one available. Newborns often have diaper leaks or spit-up incidents that require mid-night changes, and having backups means you won't be doing laundry at 2am.
Some families keep one swaddle in the nursery, one in the diaper bag for on-the-go naps, and one in the wash. If you plan to swaddle for every sleep (naps and nighttime), three swaddles provides comfortable rotation for daily washing.
Our organic cotton fabric is pre-washed and pre-shrunk during manufacturing, so you should see minimal shrinkage with proper care. We recommend washing in cold or warm water and tumble drying on low heat to maintain the original dimensions.
If you accidentally wash in hot water or use high heat drying, you may notice slight shrinkage — typically less than 5%. The adjustable wing design compensates for minor size changes, and most parents report the fit remains consistent throughout the recommended weight range of 7-14 pounds.
We use high-quality hook-and-loop fasteners that provide secure hold with moderate noise when opening. While not completely silent, the sound is brief and quieter than traditional heavy-duty Velcro. Many parents report their babies sleep through the sound during diaper changes.
The fasteners are designed to grip firmly enough to contain active newborns while remaining easy for tired parents to open and close with one hand. After hundreds of uses and washes, the hook-and-loop maintains its holding power without becoming scratchy or loud.
