ergoPouch HugMe Blanket - Bassinet

The HugMe Blanket (formerly Baby Tuck Sheet) is a TOG-rated alternative to loose blankets. Suitable from birth, it fits firmly and securely on a mattress to keep baby warm, calm and snug as a safer-sleep option. Designed to use over the top of a swaddle or sleeping bag until baby is rolling.

The HugMe Blanket is a firm-fitting mattress sleeve that provides added security and comfort for a newborn during sleep. Each side of the Baby Tuck Sheet is TOG-rated; simply flip the sheet over to adjust the warmth and follow our Bedding Temperature guide (included) for help layering. The zips allow you to adjust to two levels of firmness (tightness), to find the perfect fit for your baby's size, or strength of startle reflex.

Given the design of the product, the HugMe Blanket cannot become untucked from the mattress, be pulled up near baby's face, or be classified as loose bedding in any way. If your baby does manage to get their legs out of the Tuck Sheet, it will simply lie flat on the mattress. Newborns who don't like to be swaddled may find the firmness of the Tuck Sheet comforting in lieu of sleeping with their arms in. Please do not use the Baby Tuck Sheet once your baby shows signs of rolling over.

Each Side of the HugMe Blanket is TOG-rated for use in different temperatures. Flip the sheet over to have the appropriate warmth TOG-rating on top of your baby, following the included Room Thermometer and What To Wear Guide for help dressing your baby when using the HugMe Blanket.

1.Slip the Baby Tuck Sheet over the end of your baby's mattress. Choose the 0.2 TOG side up for a light feel and layer in warm rooms, or the 1.0 TOG side up for a firmer feel and warmer layer in moderate temperature rooms. Refer to our Bedding Temperature Guide (included in pack) for more information.

2. Dress your baby in their sleepwear. We recommend a Layer (onesie), underneath a Cocoon Swaddle Bag (arms in or out) or Sleeping Bag (arms out). Use our Bedding Temperature Guide to help you choose the right product combination and TOG.

3. Unzip the Baby Tuck Sheet. Lay your baby under the open folds, with their feet touching the end of the cot / crib.

4. Zip up the sheet, to the desired firmness. You should easily be able to zip up the sheet, and firmly fit two fingers between the sheet and your baby. Once zipped up, ensure the sheet does not come up higher than the middle of your baby's chest. If it is coming up higher, simply tuck more of the sheet under the mattress until the right length is achieved. As your child grows taller, continue to adjust.

5. Unzip the sheet to remove baby from it.

6. Discontinue use once your baby shows signs of rolling over
