Size: 49"x49". These blankets are bigger than similar blankets sold by other companies. We designed them bigger because this fabric tends to shrink after washing.

Recommendations of American Academy of Pediatrics concerning swaddling:
- Make sure that the baby is always on the back when swaddled. Place your baby on the back to sleep, and monitor him/her to be sure he/she doesn't roll over while swaddled.
- The swaddle should not be too tight or make it hard for the baby to breathe or move his or her hips. You want to be able to get at least two or three fingers between the baby's chest and the swaddle.
- Do not have any loose blankets in your baby's crib. A loose blanket, including a swaddling blanket that comes unwrapped, could cover your baby's face and increase the risk of suffocation.
- When your baby looks like he or she is trying to roll over, you should stop swaddling.
