Baby Muslin Swaddle in Tanboocel® Bamboo Viscose - Planets

Grandparents' house has no bassinet sheets and no blackout curtains. It needs a blanket that can do a little of everything.

Saturn, gas giants, comets — the entire solar system.

It measures 47 by 119 cm / 47 in — the size that actually holds. Hospital-issue swaddles run about 112 cm / 44 in square — and those missing inches are why the wrap that held at 8 p.m. is loose by 3 a.m. Three extra inches reads like a rounding error — until week three, when it's the difference between rewrapping and sleeping.

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. Deep black ground with multi-colour watercolour planets (peach Saturn, mint, coral, yellow gas giant), white stars, constellations, comets, and a small moon.

One blanket, many jobs. The newborn swaddle is the first use. The swaddle phase runs 8 to 16 weeks for most babies; the blanket keeps working long after — stroller shade, nursing cover, tummy-time mat, light summer 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 Canadian Paediatric Society's 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 21–24°C 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. Tested to Health Canada's Textile Flammability Regulations, and to CPSIA and ASTM standards. The material is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and Loulou Lollipop is a Certified B Corporation.
