Baby Swaddle in Tanboocel® Bamboo Viscose - Mini Mathletes

It starts as a swaddle and spends years as everything else — nursing cover, tummy-time mat, the blanket that lives in the car.

Alligators on swings, elephants, kites, hopscotch — playground math.

It measures 47 by 47 inches — the size that actually holds. The standard hospital blanket measures roughly 44 inches; the gap between that and a full-size wrap is exactly where swaddles come undone overnight. On paper, three inches is trivia. In a dark nursery at 3 a.m., it's the whole argument.

Material. Tanboocel® Bamboo Viscose, blended with cotton and woven into open-weave muslin. Tanboocel® is a branded bamboo viscose made through a closed-loop process — third-party verified, with a lower water and chemical footprint than the generic bamboo rayon most brands quietly label "bamboo." It gets softer after the fifth wash than on day one, the opposite of how cotton ages.

The print. Cream ground with alligators on swings and seesaws, small elephants and pink bunnies, kites being flown by our Wolfie, hopscotch grids, balloons, small numbers, clouds, and trees.

One blanket, many jobs. The newborn swaddle is the first use. Swaddling ends around 8 to 16 weeks, but the blanket doesn't retire — it moves on to nursing-cover duty, stroller shade, burp cloth, picnic layer. It outlasts the swaddle window by years.

When to stop swaddling. The arms-in swaddle ends the moment the baby shows signs of rolling — usually 8–16 weeks. The AAP guidance is firm on this. Past that point, switch to a 0.5 TOG muslin sleep bag (warm nursery) or a 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ sleep bag (everyday nursery) with arms free.

Adjacent products. Once the swaddle phase ends, the natural next step is a 0.5 TOG Muslin Sleep Bag for warm nurseries or a 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ Sleep Bag for the everyday 69–75°F room.

Care. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Tanboocel® takes the dryer better than bamboo rayon, with less pilling and shrinkage over time. Don't bleach; iron on low only if you need to.

Safety & certification. AAP safe-sleep compliant. Tested to CPSC, CPSIA, and ASTM standards. Material certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Loulou Lollipop is a Certified B Corporation.
