FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions:

Have you had the product reviewed by a pediatrician?

Yes! The first newborn we tested The Simple Swaddler on was a Pediatricians's. In fact the answers to many of the following questions come directly from her.

Will The Simple Swaddler cause overheating?

Will it cause hip displasia or other injuries to hips?

Is there a time limit baby should stay in the Swaddler?

How do you know if the compression is too tight?

What if I want to use newborn outfits like pants and rompers?  

The Simple Swaddler is intended to go under your wraps, but if you have an outfit that covers the torso, it can be used with the Swaddler as it is not bulky at all.  Also, leaving it on for these shots allows you to quickly re-swaddle baby after the pose, keeping them comfortable, calm and content.

Is it breathable? 

Yes! The Simple Swaddler is lightweight and breathable.  It will keep baby covered, but not too warm.

Is it Machine Washable?  

Absolutely. Although, with the diaper on the entire session, you won't need to wash it very often!

What size of babies does it work for?  

Our goal with The Simple Swaddler was to make it 'one size fits most' rather than you needing to purchase multiple sizes. While it will be slightly looser on smaller babies and slightly tighter on bigger babies, it will still be effective.  Generally speaking The Simple Swaddler will fit newborns from 6 days new to 14 days.

Can I order the Swaddler by itself?

Unfortunately at this time we are not offering The Simple Swaddler by itself.  We have tested it on many babies and done the work for you to discover the most effective way to use the Swaddler.  We have found the Tutorial and Workflow to be essential to getting the full benefit of The Simple Swaddler.  We promise you won't be sorry!

Can I order more that one for multiples?

Yes! We have created a twin and triplet packages just for that reason!  Most newborn photographers prefer to own more than one.

What poses can I do with it?

So many! It is not just great for wrapped poses, but can be used with almost all of the most common newborn poses. Even the 'Taco' and the 'Froggie'!  We have created a posing workflow guide which comes with The Simple Swaddler package showing you which poses work best and how to transition from one to the next while keeping baby most comfortable and content.

Does it disturb baby when taken off for nakey poses?

Not at all! It slides off like butter and helps soothe baby into a deep sleep so you can do the nakey poses at the end of The Simple Swaddler workflow.
