Hospital-issue swaddles run about 44 inches square — and those missing inches are why the wrap that held at 8 p.m. is loose by 3 a.m. Three extra inches reads like a rounding error — until week three, when it's the difference between rewrapping and sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tanboocel® Bamboo Viscose, blended with cotton and woven into open-weave muslin. Tanboocel® is a branded bamboo viscose made through a closed-loop process — third-party verified, with a lower water and chemical footprint than the generic bamboo rayon most brands quietly label \"bamboo.\" It gets softer after the fifth wash than on day one, the opposite of how cotton ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream-ivory ground (navy binding) with watercolor smiling sharks — great white, whale, hammerhead, and tiger — in white, gray, and blue tones, with small fish and blue stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne blanket, many jobs.\u003c\/strong\u003e The newborn swaddle is the first use. The swaddle phase runs 8 to 16 weeks for most babies; the blanket keeps working long after — stroller shade, nursing cover, tummy-time mat, light summer layer.

At roughly 44x44, hospital swaddles run small; the loosening you notice at 3 a.m. starts there.
