What makes this sleep pod special
Fabric & Construction Details
We crafted the SwaddleMe Pod Scribble Elephant from a premium knit fabric blend that balances softness with durability. The stretchy material gently hugs your baby’s body while allowing natural leg flexion, which pediatricians recommend for healthy hip development.
Our two-way zipper system features smooth glide technology that won’t snag or catch on fabric, making midnight diaper changes remarkably simple. The zipper pull tucks away securely to prevent any contact with your baby’s sensitive skin.
Sizing & Fit Guidelines
The SwaddleMe Pod Scribble Elephant is designed specifically for newborns weighing 6 to 12 pounds, which typically covers birth through the first 8-12 weeks. The stretchy knit fabric accommodates babies at different points within this weight range, expanding gently as your little one grows.
We recommend measuring your baby’s length as well – the pod works best for infants up to 23 inches long. The cocoon shape naturally tapers at the bottom, giving legs room to bend at the knee and hips while maintaining that secure, wrapped feeling babies love.
Care & Washing Instructions
Machine wash your SwaddleMe Pod Scribble Elephant in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. We recommend using a mild, baby-safe detergent free from harsh chemicals, dyes, and fragrances that might irritate sensitive skin.
Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry – both methods work beautifully with our durable knit construction. The fabric maintains its stretch and softness through dozens of wash cycles, so you can keep the pod fresh and clean as often as needed.
