Baby Muslin Swaddle in Tanboocel® Viscose from Bamboo - Bumble Bees

The Bumble Bees swaddle gives you enough fabric to wrap, tuck, and trust it — no re-swaddling at every feed.

Bees, honey pots, and beehives — a sweet little summer pattern.

It measures 47 by 47 inches — the size that actually holds. At about 44 inches, hospital swaddles leave no fabric to spare — and spare fabric is what keeps a wrap snug through the night. Three inches of extra fabric doesn't sound like a feature until you've lost a wrap to a leg kick.

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. Ivory ground with bees, honey pots, beehives, and tiny red flowers.

One blanket, many jobs. The newborn swaddle is the first use. When the swaddle stage closes — usually between 8 and 16 weeks — the same square of muslin starts its second career as stroller shade, nursing cover, and tummy-time mat. 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 and tested to CPSC, CPSIA, and ASTM standards. The material is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and Loulou Lollipop is a Certified B Corporation.

Common questions

When should I stop swaddling my baby?

Stop the arms-in swaddle the moment the baby shows signs of rolling — usually 8–16 weeks. After that, switch to a 0.5 or 1.0 TOG sleep bag with arms free. The AAP's guidance is firm on this: a swaddled baby who rolls onto their stomach is at meaningfully higher risk.

What size swaddle blanket is best?

47x47 inches is the size that holds together. Hospital swaddles are usually 44x44 and that's where the swaddle goes from snug to loose at 3 a.m. The three-inch difference matters more than it sounds like it should.

Can I use a muslin swaddle as a nursing cover?

Yes. The same blanket works as a nursing cover, a stroller shade, a tummy-time mat, a lightweight summer blanket, and a burp cloth. Open-weave muslin breathes well enough that you're not creating a hot pocket while feeding.
