Maternity gifts

Your baby's eyes are up to 70% more sensitive to UV radiation than those of adults. That is why proper protection is important as soon as your little one is outdoors.

These lightweight baby sunglasses protect against bright sunlight from the very first months without pressure points or hard temples. The flexible frame and soft silicone strap ensure the glasses stay comfortable – even while playing, walking, or sleeping in the stroller.

Why parents choose these baby sunglasses

• 100% UV400 protection – completely blocks UVA and UVB radiation
• Soft and flexible frame – bends along with your baby’s face
• Comfort without pinching – ultra-light and safe for sensitive skin
• Stays in place – thanks to the soft, stretchy silicone strap
• Safe material – BPA-free and CE-certified according to EU standards

What age are these sunglasses suitable for?

These sunglasses are designed for babies aged approximately 3 to 18 months.

The silicone strap has a circumference of about 42 cm when resting and stretches comfortably up to about 46 cm. This corresponds to the average head circumference of babies in this age range.

Because every baby's head grows differently, the fit may vary slightly from child to child. In doubt? Look not only at the age but also at your child's head circumference.

When should you use baby sunglasses?

These sunglasses are great for daily use in sunlight, for example:

• in the stroller
• on vacation
• on the bike
• during sunny days in spring and summer

Combine with a sun hat or light clothing for complete sun protection.

Does a baby really need sunglasses?

Yes. Baby eyes still barely filter UV radiation. Without protection, sunlight reaches the retina directly, which can cause long-term damage.

These sunglasses offer UV400 protection without pressure points or hard edges. This is how you protect your child's eyes in a comfortable way from the first months.

Myth: does your baby burn faster with sunglasses?

It is sometimes claimed on social media that sunglasses cause your baby to burn faster because the eyes would then not send a "sunlight signal." This claim is scientifically incorrect.

Facts according to, among others, Full Fact, Science Feedback, and Cambridge researchers:

• melanin, your natural protection against the sun, is produced by the skin itself and not via the eyes
• sunglasses have no influence on the skin's UVB sensitivity
• the eyes do not send a "sun signal" to the skin or pigment cells

Ophthalmologist Dr. Deepti Mehta puts it this way: "Sunglasses do not cause sunburn. Your skin burns due to UVB radiation – regardless of what your eyes see."

Conclusion: sunglasses protect the eyes and have no negative effect on the skin. Always combine with a sun hat or shade for optimal protection.

After nearly three decades in the NICU, I learned what can help a newborn baby settle: the feeling of soft containment. Not tied down, not restricted—but contained and secure. Many babies find this comforting in the first few weeks, as it provides a familiar feeling. That principle is the foundation of the Pointelle Snuggle Coco Camel—a merino wool baby cocoon that brings that feeling of containment home.

This is not a classic swaddle sleeping bag. The Pointelle Snuggle Coco gives your baby a secure, contained feeling without a tight system—a more comfortable alternative for parents looking for a newborn cocoon or baby cocoon 0-3 months but who do not want to use a classic swaddling system. The openwork pointelle knit is light, breathable, and suitable for every season.

Designed for rest and rhythm

Soft containment — familiar and secure

The shape of the Snuggle Coco is inspired by what I saw daily in the NICU: babies become calmer when their bodies are softly contained. I sometimes call it "A womb with a view"—a protected place from which your baby can safely discover the world. Read more: why merino wool is so suitable for babies.

Fine pointelle knit in warm camel

Light, breathable, and timeless. The warm camel hue provides a rich, earthy look that pairs well with natural and sand tones. A choice with character.

Improved fit around the head

The renewed opening at the head ensures a safe, secure fit—snug without being constricting.

Open bottom for changing

The bottom is open so you can change the diaper while your baby continues to feel the contained sensation of the cocoon.

Why parents choose this

• Soft containment can help give your baby a calmer, more secure feeling
• Open bottom for easy diaper changes
• 100% merino wool — thermoregulating and skin-friendly
• Airy pointelle knit, also suitable for summer
• Perfect as a maternity gift, can be combined with matching essentials

Merino wool for the little ones

Merino wool is exceptionally suitable for newborns. It is naturally thermoregulating, self-cleaning, and hypoallergenic. The fibers (12–18 microns) do not itch—not even on sensitive skin. OEKO-TEX certified, RWS-certified, mulesing-free. Is merino wool suitable for sensitive baby skin?

Practical information

When to adjust usage

The Snuggle Coco is designed for supervised use. As soon as your baby shows signs of rolling, do not use the cocoon closed around the arms anymore. You can then use it lower around the body—or choose a suitable alternative such as a sleeping bag with free arms. Always lay your baby on their back to sleep and ensure the face remains uncovered.

Care

To maintain the delicate pointelle structure: hand wash at 30°C with wool detergent, lay flat to dry. Read our full washing guide.

Combine with

Frequently asked questions

In de neonatologie is begrenzing geen trucje — het is iets wat ik dagelijks zag werken. Baby's die zacht begrensd worden, kunnen rustiger worden, omdat het lijkt op de vertrouwde omgeving van de baarmoeder. Dat begrensd, geborgen gevoel is de basis van de Pointelle Snuggle Coco Lavender. Een merinowollen baby cocoon die dat zachte gevoel naar huis brengt, ontworpen vanuit bijna 30 jaar NICU-ervaring.

Dit is geen klassieke inbakerslaapzak. De Pointelle Snuggle Coco geeft je baby een geborgen, begrensd gevoel zonder strak systeem — voor baby's die behoefte hebben aan begrenzing en rust, maar waarbij je geen klassiek inbakersysteem wilt gebruiken. Het opengewerkte pointelle breisel is licht, ademend en geschikt voor elk seizoen.

Ontworpen voor rust en ritme

Zachte begrenzing — vertrouwd en geborgen

De vorm van de Snuggle Coco is geïnspireerd op wat ik dagelijks zag op de NICU: baby's worden rustiger wanneer hun lichaam zacht begrensd wordt. Ik noem hem wel eens "A womb with a view" — veiligheid en rust die je kind meedraagt, van de eerste uren thuis tot ver daarna. Lees meer: waarom merinowol zo geschikt is voor baby's.

Fijn pointelle breisel in zacht lavender

Licht, ademend en rustig om naar te kijken. Lavender is een gedempte, zachte lila tint — net wat anders dan de klassieke neutrale kleuren, zonder druk te worden. Mooi voor wie iets persoonlijks zoekt, ook als kraamcadeau.

Verbeterde aansluiting bij het hoofdje

De vernieuwde opening bij het hoofdje zorgt voor een veilige, geborgen pasvorm — nauwsluitend zonder te knellen.

Open onderzijde voor verschonen

De onderkant is open, zodat je de luier kunt verschonen terwijl je baby het begrensd gevoel van de cocon blijft voelen.

Waarom ouders hiervoor kiezen

• Zachte begrenzing kan helpen om je baby een rustiger, geborgen gevoel te geven
• Open onderzijde voor makkelijk verschonen
• 100% merinowol — thermoregulerend en huidvriendelijk
• Luchtig pointelle breisel, ook geschikt voor de zomer
• Zacht lavender — een rustige kleur met een eigen karakter

Merinowol voor de allerkleinsten

Merinowol is bij uitstek geschikt voor pasgeborenen. Het is van nature thermoregulerend, zelfreinigend en hypoallergeen. De vezels (12–18 micron) kriebelen niet — ook niet op een gevoelige huid. OEKO-TEX gecertificeerd, RWS-gecertificeerd, mulesing-vrij. Is merinowol geschikt voor gevoelige babyhuid?

Praktische informatie

Wanneer pas je het gebruik aan?

De Snuggle Coco is ontworpen voor gebruik onder toezicht. Zodra je baby tekenen van rollen laat zien, gebruik je de cocon niet meer gesloten rond de armen. Je kunt hem dan lager om het lijfje gebruiken — of kiezen voor een passend alternatief zoals een slaapzak met vrije armen. Leg je baby altijd op de rug te slapen en zorg dat het gezichtje vrij blijft.

Onderhoud

Om de verfijnde pointelle-structuur te behouden: handwas op 30°C met wolwasmiddel, liggend laten drogen. Lees onze volledige washandleiding.
