ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag 0.2 TOG

The ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag 0.2 TOG is a zip-up summer swaddle that keeps a newborn snugly wrapped without any of the complicated wrapping and re-tucking of a traditional swaddle blanket. You simply zip it up, so baby can be securely swaddled from day one. It's TOG-rated for warmth, which makes it easier to judge how to dress your little one for the room they're sleeping in.

At 0.2 TOG, this is the lightest, summer-weight option in the Cocoon range. It can be used on its own in room temperatures of 24°C and above, with no blankets needed in the bassinet or cot — helpful in South Africa's warmer months when you're trying to keep baby comfortable without adding loose bedding. When the room is cooler, you can layer TOG-rated Layers or Bodywear underneath (sold separately) to add warmth, and the included room thermometer and "what to wear" guide takes the guesswork out of it.

Gentle on delicate newborn skin

The Cocoon Swaddle Bag is made from GOTS certified organic cotton with a touch of elastane (95% organic cotton, 5% elastane). The cotton is soft and breathable, certified non-toxic and dyed with water-based dyes, so it's gentle against newborn skin and skin that's prone to eczema breakouts. A full zip enclosure sits away from the skin, and the two-way zipper opens from the bottom for quick, low-disruption nappy changes during the night.

From arms-in swaddle to arms-out sleep sack

The little poppers at the armholes let you transition the Cocoon from an arms-in summer swaddle to an arms-out sleeping bag once baby starts showing signs of rolling. It's a practical detail that means the swaddle can keep working for you as baby moves through that next stage, rather than being packed away the moment they become more mobile.

How it Works

• TOG-rated warmth: The 0.2 TOG rating tells you how much warmth the swaddle provides, so you can pair it with the room temperature and any layers underneath to dress baby appropriately.
• Firm but stretchy fit: The cotton-elastane blend is firm enough to restrict the startle reflex, while the stretch still allows movement, full chest expansion when breathing, and room for baby to bring their hands into a self-settling position.
• Arm poppers for transitioning: Opening the armhole poppers frees baby's arms, converting the arms-in swaddle into an arms-out sleeping bag when they begin to roll.
• Bell-shaped bottom: The roomy bell shape is approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as hip-healthy, giving the hips and shoulders space to move and develop.
• Two-way zipper: Opening from the bottom means you can change a nappy without unwrapping the whole swaddle.

Best For

The ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag 0.2 TOG is a great option for parents who:

• Want a zip-up swaddle that's easy to use from day one, without learning a wrapping technique
• Are dressing a newborn for warmer rooms of 24°C and above
• Prefer organic cotton against sensitive or eczema-prone skin
• Want a swaddle that can transition to arms-out once baby starts rolling

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Need a warmer garment for cooler rooms — a higher TOG option would suit those conditions better
• Prefer a traditional wrap-style swaddle blanket

Disclaimer

Swaddling with the arms contained should be stopped once baby shows signs of trying to roll — at that point, use the arm poppers to switch to the arms-out mode, following the instructions included with the product. Always place baby on their back to sleep on a firm, flat, level surface with a clear sleep space.
