Swaddling made simple, for the long, deep sleep newborns need.
Koala Hugs is a clever reinvention of the traditional square swaddle blanket. It’s based on a wrapping method used by many midwives and maternity hospitals, and it’s designed to give newborns and their parents better sleep in those crazy early days.
- No more breakouts. Our patented built-in arm pockets gently cocoon your baby’s arms, so wriggly hands stay in the swaddle all night.
- Calms the startle reflex. A secure, womb-like feel helps newborns settle and sleep for longer stretches.
- Easy for anyone. There are no complicated wrapping techniques, so you get a snug wrap every time. It’s great for new parents and caregivers.
- Hip-friendly. You don’t need to wrap tightly. The generous 120 × 120cm size leaves room for healthy hip development and even fits babies wearing a hip brace, Rhino brace or spica cast.
- Flexible arm positions. Wrap with arms across the chest, down by the sides, or up.
- Breathable organic cotton. It’s soft and naturally breathable, so your baby stays comfortable.
Important safety point: Koala Hugs is suitable from birth. Stop swaddling once your baby shows signs of starting to roll, or when swaddling is no longer effective. When that happens, Sleepy Hugs is the next step.

What Parents Are Saying
My Little One Slept 10 Hours
"I purchased the Koala Hugs swaddle. My 11 week old is an escape artist in the best wrapped swaddle. First night with the Koala Hugs and he slept 10 hours! If only I had this from the time we brought him home." - Sandra Gomes
My Baby Sleeps Best In This Swaddle
"I don't think it's a coincidence that my daughter sleeps better in this swaddle than in anything else I've used. I love the built in arm pockets and the length of the swaddle. The design makes it easy to wrap her, and she looks so cosy and calm. Even in Australian summer, the material is not too hot, and she has slept for nice long stretches in the day and night. She is currently 3 weeks, and I started using this from 1 week. Amazing product!" - Maxine
Honestly Amazing
"I am so happy with the newborn wrap!! My little one fights so hard to get her hands out so the newborn wrap is perfect because of the inbuilt arms section. It makes swaddling her so easy and the material is soft too & not too heavy. I would 100% recommend this product!" - Joanne
