cocoo·me Sling Preemie

Basically, your wrap replaces one layer of clothing. This means for us: If your child is wearing a long-sleeved shirt indoors, you can take it off while carrying. The warmth of your body and the protective wrap replace this layer of clothing. Clothing made of wool or wool-silk is temperature-regulating and ensures that your baby does not sweat. A change of clothes for hikes is also a good idea! The legs are most important – they are outside the baby wrap and therefore need to be protected more. Leg warmers are best suited for this. They keep the legs warm and can also be pulled over the feet of small babies. For head protection, we recommend a thin bonnet or the cocoo.me Clip-in hood for the jacket extension.

How do I recognize if my baby is too warm or too hot?

Basically, always check the temperature at the back of the baby's neck – if it is neither sweaty nor cold there, your baby is dressed perfectly.

Is a baby wrap too warm for my baby in summer?

Please consult your babywearing consultant. Basically, in summer, you must ensure that your baby does not overheat. Sweating and wet clothing could also cause it to catch a chill if you are not careful. However, closeness also regulates the newborn's body temperature through sweat and even cools the body. If you need a break or take your baby out, make sure you have a change of clothes with you. Preparation is everything. In summer, always take a cloth or sun hat with you to protect against strong sunlight.

Tip: The cocoo•me® Sling can also be tied in two layers and is therefore cooler.

What should you look for when choosing a baby wrap?

Basically, we strongly recommend speaking with your midwife or babywearing consultant. There are so many different variants and brands. It is easy to lose track of what is essential. When choosing a baby wrap, we pay attention to the fabric composition, the size of the wrap, and pleasant colors. In addition, we produce in Europe and therefore have much better control over individual production steps (our material is GOTS-certified). The carrying comfort then results from the many options our wrap offers. On the one hand, due to the size (5 m x 0.5 m), and on the other hand, due to the perfect elasticity. Our wrap is definitely skin-friendly and perfectly suited for the smallest babies.

What is important if you want to carry your baby after a cesarean section?

• Only start when you feel fit enough! In the meantime, skin-to-skin cuddling and spending a lot of time together in bed help.


• Start with short carrying intervals. Do not overstrain your body and stop carrying when your body signals that it needs a break.


• Remember: carrying in a wrap is better than carrying in your arms. It is gentler on your entire posture and also your pelvic floor. Carrying in a baby wrap also feels more relieving. So before you lug your baby around in your arms, wrap it in a baby wrap!

Can I use the baby wrap as a sleep aid for babies?

Carrying can be used as a great sleep aid! Why? Because babies, especially newborns, feel very comfortable in a baby wrap.

On the go, on outings or family gatherings, at parties, when you go out in the evening – your baby can easily join in and sleep peacefully in the baby wrap. This also gives you as parents a certain amount of freedom without your baby becoming overstimulated.

Also in the evening, when many impressions from the day are being processed, carrying can help your baby fall asleep safely and soundly. And even if the fear of spoiling them is great: No worries! Sleep habits can be lovingly changed at any time. Do what feels good for you and what helps your baby fall asleep best!

Falling asleep in a baby wrap can make everyday life easier for many parents. But not only that: your baby falls asleep in a safe and secure place. We know from studies that your baby can only fall asleep when someone is with them and they know that someone is always there if they need something. Many babies therefore sleep restlessly during their first year of life when no caregiver is nearby. This is absolutely normal and has nothing to do with “parenting” or “the necessary firmness.”

CAN YOU CARRY TWINS WITH A BABY WRAP?

With our baby wrap (cocoo•me Sling), it is even possible to carry twins! On our Insta account, you can find Anja Liersch's guide here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPQaLzlHOQ/

Carrying helps your baby with tummy ache

The prerequisite for this is the squatting-spreading position. This means that the knees are at the level of the buttocks. You can achieve this by letting the fabric bands go down to the knees and ensuring the wrap is properly tightened and tied. Thanks to this position, air can escape better and bowel movements can also make their way out much better! In addition, carrying during discomfort provides a feeling of safety and security – this also helps your baby feel fit and comfortable again more quickly ❤

How long can I carry my baby with the cocoo.me Sling?

The cocoo.me Sling is not only particularly soft, cozy, and easy to tie, but also a real eye-catcher – you can also use it for a really long time! Tested up to 15 kg, it can even carry your toddler really well and provide you with pleasant carrying moments! ❤ At cocoo.me, we make sure that you can use all products for a long time. That is why our jacket extension for babywearing is also practical during pregnancy. Thanks to the two inserts of different thicknesses, you have the right jacket for every weather!

How do you properly wash the cocoo•me® Sling

The cocoo•me® Sling consists of 95% organic cotton (kBa) and 5% elastane (GOTS-certified). Therefore, you should also wash it at 30°C and on a low spin cycle. This protects the fibers and ensures that you enjoy the wrap for a long time! It is best to lay the wrap out to dry on a drying rack – as it is not suitable for the dryer. It is best to use an ecological, liquid detergent without fragrances, perfumes, etc. This is particularly gentle on the wrap and also the best choice for your baby. Do you feel that the wrap no longer ties or tightens well? Put it in the washing machine once! After that, you can tie it again with ease.

🧺 Our neck roll is filled with wool. Therefore, do not wash it in the machine under any circumstances.

🧺 Make sure your detergent does not contain bleach. We also recommend a detergent without enzymes. Do not use fabric softener!!

🧺 Wash at a maximum of 30 degrees. If you have stubborn stains on your wrap, treat them by hand before washing.

🧺 Choose a gentle wash program with a low spin cycle.

🧺 Your baby wrap must not go in the dryer under any circumstances. Let it dry flat on a drying rack.

🧺 Ironing is not necessary due to the elastic material.

TIP for tying the cocoo•me® Sling

Remember to let the shoulder straps run nicely wide over the shoulder. This distributes your baby's weight wonderfully. In addition, the fabric straps should also be fanned out nicely over the back. This is how you really achieve an optimal result!

One more little trick: If you have closed the baby wrap at the back with a double knot, you can bring the fabric straps forward again along your pelvis and close them in the front with a simple knot. This also takes some weight off and ensures greater carrying comfort!

How tightly should the cocoo•me® Sling be tied?

When tying the elastic baby wrap, you should make sure that it fits snugly against your body. The elastic material gives a little when you put your baby in. What is important here is that your baby is close enough to your body – when you lean forward, your baby should stay nicely against your body. If it is tied too tightly, you can follow the fabric bands and loosen it a little once your baby is already wrapped. Often, parents also need 2 to 3 attempts to tie the baby wrap “correctly” – practice makes perfect. 🥰

Free airways when babywearing with a baby wrap

You often see parents pulling the wrap or head support completely over the baby's head. However, this can become very dangerous! Remember that only the back of the child's head should always be supported. The nose and mouth must remain free. The supply of fresh oxygen ensures that your baby does not re-breathe CO2 – this can become very dangerous. The baby becomes very sleepy and tired. It can even lead to death. Unfortunately, a baby does not signal when it does not receive enough oxygen – this is unfortunately a misconception! Therefore: always only support the back of the head, the nose and mouth must be visible. For free airways with our baby wrap in combination with the button elastic, there is a great video on our Instagram account: click here for the video. This makes babywearing with a baby wrap safer for your baby too.

Babywearing with a baby wrap during pregnancy

Are you pregnant again and have another toddler at home who still likes to be carried? No worries – in a healthy pregnancy, there is nothing against carrying your child. Especially with back-binding methods, carrying is also more relieving for your body. With the baby wrap, you also have no annoying belly belt that can press on the baby bump. The Double Hammock is ideal for carrying your toddler during another pregnancy. It relieves your arms, you have no pressure on the baby bump, and your child gets the necessary closeness. Pay attention to your body and its signals! If you feel that carrying is not doing you any good and you are also very exhausted by it, or feel pressure on the baby bump, you should not carry. Then give yourself a break and sit down – cuddle with your child and give them closeness

Carrying in the postpartum period

Are you wondering if you can carry your baby already in the postpartum period? We want to give you a few pointers so that carrying in the postpartum period is successful.

– Even if you feel fit – the postpartum period is absolutely important for your body. This allows the uterus to shrink back without complications, and breastfeeding works better.

– If you have painful scars, you should not carry and follow the advice of the doctors. Bed rest!

– If there are already older siblings, call on the support of your partner. If this person is not available, there are also family helpers who can support you at home!

– When you carry your baby for the first time, you should not be alone. Be sure to listen to your body and take your baby out of the wrap as soon as you notice that carrying is no longer working.

Remember: close body contact carrying is always better for your musculoskeletal system than carrying in your arms.

The pre-tied wrap cross carry

The pre-tied wrap cross carry with the elastic baby wrap allows you to have a stress-free outing with your baby. Pre-tied at home, you can easily take your baby out of the baby seat while out and about – for example while shopping – and put them in the wrap. This tying method also makes things easier at home – you can take your baby out of the wrap to feed, change, or for other reasons. Then simply wrap them again and you are ready to go!
