Hi guys!
This giveaway is now closed! Congratulations to Allison A and Carlene D!
This is one of my all time favourite baby items! We have been using ergoCocoons from ergoPouch since Chloe and I really wish they had been around or I had known about them when Noah was a bub!Noah liked being swaddled until I couldn’t find any muslin wraps that would fit around my nine month old! The transition to a sleeping bag for Noah was pretty hard as he just didn’t like having his arms out. Chloe was very much the same and once she found out how to wriggle around a little and her hands would pop out of her wrap I knew I needed to find another solution, and I did with the use of the ergoCocoon.
So this time around for Owen I was pretty sure we’d need the same for him and I was smart and bought another so we have two in rotation, one on the baby and one in the wash! He used his from much much earlier as they are so easy, no origami as they say! I ditched the swaddles in preference to our ergoCocoons and they are definitely a sleep cue now for him. He knows when we pop him in thats it’s time for a little sleep.
The ergoCocoon is made with beautifully soft organic cotton. It’s super stretchy and so very easy to use. The zip moves up or down making it easy to get bubs into it before sleep time, and easy to change a nappy in the middle of the night without letting their arms out.The ergoCocoon is snug enough to contain that startle reflex that often wakes babies but allows enough movement that baby can get comfy. Owen likes to bring his hands up to his mouth and he is able to do this even while his arms are zipped up into the ergoCocoon. Another great feature of the ergoCocoon is that there are snap closures on the sides so when you’re ready to start transitioning to a sleeping bag you’ve already got what you need – let one arm out or both arms out – it’s up to you!
I emailed ergoPouch and told them about how much I love our ergoCocoons and asked if I could give some away on the blog – I’m so thrilled they wanted to take part and want to give TWO of my gorgeous readers 2x ergoCocoons each! :o}
They also sent me one of their new airCocoon swaddles to try. Oh I am in love with this one big time! The airCocoon is made from bamboo so it’s super light, soft and breathable. We live in Perth and last Christmas we had about 4 or 5 {maybe more, I’ve tried to block it from my mind} days of 40+ degree heat in a row! I am not looking forward to weather like that in the next few weeks but at least with this Owen can be swaddled up in his airCocoon and a nappy and sleep comfortably without overheating while still having his arms all nice and snug.
The airCocoon doesn’t have a zip which I like! But there is still easy access for those late night time nappy changes. Popping baby into the airCocoon is a little different than the ergoCocoon as you have pull it up from their feet to their head instead of zipping but it’s still very easy and quick to do! I am also loving the chevron print!
TWO of you can win 2 x ergoCocoons each, 0.2tog and in the sizes and colours of your choice!Thanks so much ergoPouch for this great giveaway!

These would be perfect for our little bundle of joy due in January. Our little man was a bit of a houdini getting out of swaddles and wraps, so if this baby is the same, this seems like the perfect solution!
Ive never tried these but looks so cosy and a great alternative to keep those little hands snug!
I’d love to try these for my escape artist 5 month old. He needs to be swaddled to sleep, but has recently perfected the art of escaping and waking himself up. These look perfect for keeping him snugly cocooned (also loving the navy chevron- gorgeous!)
Oh these look fantastic! I’ve always swaddled my kids and with number three due in Summer, this would be perfect!
Our 2 month old twins are already getting their hands out of their wraps so I would love to try these out. Anything that gets them to sleep longer is worth a try!

Oh, I love these things so much. They launched the zip version shortly before my second child was born – lucky for me, because he’s freakishly strong and could escape the tightest swaddle. And they’re especially fantastic for summer babies – so light! I passed all ours on to my baby niece and would love to give a new one to my cousin, who’s due any day.
Love the look of these :o}
Made from organic cotton. Soft and stretchy.. Perfect to soothe my bub to sleep while keeping them comfortable. Easy to use and the added bonus of a versatile zipper. What a great product. Will save me from many restless nights
This would be perfect to stop little Houdini’s! And I love that they are tucked up nice and safe in these also, what a fantastic product!
Oh I just love the idea of these! With baby number 2 due in January I have also been concerned about how to swaddle him/her in the heat! The airCocoon sounds like a great idea! -Caitlin
My little one loves to be wrapped , but has just started to wiggle free so this would be great for keeping him all snug
I found out about these just before I had baby #2 this year. I got one to try and it has been fabulous! He is so settled and just looks so comfortable and secure. Wishing I’d got a couple more to have in rotation! Sara
I love how much easier this would be than using the muslin wraps I’m currently trying.
We are currently using wraps for our newborn which she gets her arms out of so would love that hands are kept in and it is still easy enough for nappy changes during the night.
These would be ideal for my little niece who is quite the “Houdini” escape artist. Her poor “sleep-deprived” Mummy would be in heaven!
I love the fact that ir will keep my baby safe and snug while sleep time…
I am having another Summer Baby and I love that it is so Soft and Breathable and would keep my Baby Safe.
I would love to try one of these! My bub is a little Houdini too, so I’m needing something like this! Thanks for the opportunity to enter Bianca xx
Love the ergo cocoon! Only recently bought one for my son and he sleeps so well in it. Would love another for rotation
My sister is about to have her first baby and these would be perfect in a hot climate! Would love to win!
It holds the baby tight so it’s all compact like a cocoon!
Its as snug as a bug ina rug. Giving me peace of mind that bubs is secure, safe and happy.
This is perfect – swaddling my babies always makes me worry as they manage to get their arms out and I worry about the loose swaddle around their face. I’m due in 3 weeks!

That he’s as comfy & snug as a bug in a rug
I love these and even though I don’t have a newborn, I would love to win to give to my sister who has just had her second bubba!
I think peace of mind, knowing bub is warm and all cuddled up.
I have had two babies who loved being swaddled, with bub#3 on the way, they’ll sleep snuggly which will equal happy mummy
To keep my wriggly little worm nice and tight at bed time in hope this will encourage her to sleep a little better. I can only hope!
what a great idea, the baby looks so warm and safe
i really love these, it keeps the baby safe

I used a ergo cocoon with my second boy and loved the design and ease of it! It would make a great gift to my pregnant friend when she has her bub in March when the nights are still so hot in Brisbane

The ergoCocoon is super stretchy and allows enough movement for baby to get comfy. I really love this feature. Sometimes my bub wanna stretch herself but ordinary wrap doesn’t allow her to.
These sound fabulous, perfect for bub #2 due in April!
All three of my own babies loved to be swaddled. I think the ergoCocoon would make a great gift for my sister, who is expecting her first baby in a couple of months. I love that they allow movement, so that babies who love to put their hands up to their mouth can without the constriction of a normal swaddle, yet they also keep baby warm and snug. And what great features are the zip to make for easy access for nappy changing and the snap closures on the side! I wish I had one (or two) of these when my children were babies!
I brought an ergo cocoon air for my son who’s 11 weeks but lost it when we moved, so devastated. So would defiantly love to win another
I love that it has a 2-way zipper, making nappy changing so much easier.
iWould love to try this brand. Have used another but my little nearly 3 month old is getting to big
perfect for my little niece or nephew on this way
would be a wonderful gift for a friends new bubba

We were introduced to these with our last bub and they are fantastic!! Such a perfect swaddle! With our next due in May I’d love another so one can go in the wash!
Baby looks snug as a bug in a rug.
No zips and looks like baby would be so snug.
This would be perfect for my swaddle loving 9 week old! Off to browse their site now! – Cherie Turner
