Woombie - KB Designs, LLC

Karen Barski
(203) 660-4440

The mom/nurse invented and 14-award winning Woombie is the safest, most effective way to swaddle baby. The unique peanut-shaped design requires no wrapping and its signature bebeflex™ fabric softly cocoons baby without restricting mobility/development. The soft eco-fabric re-creates the womb environment which is important for calming baby and preventing flailing arms.

The newest design is called Woombie Air™ and is the first breathable swaddle that regulates baby’s body temperature and allows excess heat to escape. The Woombie has been shown to promote a more natural and peaceful sleep environment for infants resulting in longer periods of sleep with less restlessness. Preventing issues such as startling, face scratching, overheating and dangerous loose unraveled blankets from covering baby’s face, Infant Care Experts recommend the Woombie to institute successful sleep patterns from birth to 6 months.
