The CozeeCoo® Wearable Baby Blanket
CozeeCoo® is a wearable blanket, registered with the US FDA as a medical device. Designed to safely and comfortably hold a baby's hands below the chest, the CozeeCoo® also retains movement in the arms, elbows, hips and legs. Due to the range of movement, the CozeeCoo® can be worn while sleeping -even when rolling. It works while diaper changing and safely in car seats. It's made from 100% organic cotton from the fabric to the sew-in interfacing and labels.

- Elbow immobilizer arm brace side effects such as the ability to still touch the face, self removal (84% of babies remove arm braces according to a recent QIP survey) and discomfort, which can also affect sleep.
- Blanket swaddling side effects such as overheating, heat plus friction which can make conditions like eczema worse, hip dysplasia (hip dislocation), the inability to reposition while sleeping, increased risk of suffocation if the blanket becomes loose, decreased arousal and underdeveloped muscles

Care Instructions:
Laundry machine washer (cold water) and dryer safe. Tumble dry on low heat or dry flat. Otherwise shrinking can occur. We recommend using a fragrance-free detergent (if it's also a dye-free and artificial brighteners-free detergent that is even better). Do not bleach. Iron Safe.
Materials:
100% certified (GOTS®) organic cotton fabric is used throughout the garment including the sew-in interfacings and labels. The metal snaps are nickel-free and lead-free tested. To ensure a snug and effective fit we use one 3" long piece of rubber-free elastic, braided in 100% organic cotton, and then covered in the GOTS® certified 100% cotton fabric.
