Pucksack Advice

Which pucksack suits me and my baby?

A pucksack serves as a practical sleeping aid for your baby, because it gives him a feeling of security.

But the choice of pucksacks is wide and there are different models on the market, which either require different swaddling techniques to be used or even none at all. All of them have advantages and disadvantages, so it’s not so easy to figure out which one is the right one for you

If you are not sure what kind of pucksack to buy, you first need to answer only one question.

Do you want a pucksack or a puck sling?

A pucksack is very practical, because it doesn’t need to be wrapped at all and offers babies a lot of support due to the sewn-in hip positioner and prevents uncomfortable slipping. If you like to have the easy and safe version of the pucksack, then you are type A.

If you like to wrap your child yourself so that the sling fits best, then you are type B. The advantage of puck sling is that you can wrap the baby individually according to size. Here there are classic cloths, but also pre-shaped puck cloths with Velcro, which make wrapping easier.

You want a pucksack where you don’t have to swaddle?

Then you are type A

If you prefer a practical pucksack, then you are type A. With a pucksack you save yourself the hassle of swaddling and yet your baby is snug in the pucksack. If you are type A, the Ergobaby Swaddler and the Sterntaler Strampelnest are suitable for you.

The Ergobaby Swaddler

The Ergobaby Swaddler is a particularly well thought-out pucksack in which your baby can feel especially comfortable. The footmuff and arm pockets allow your baby to get comfortable just like in the womb, which is especially ergonomic. This makes it feel especially secure and can sleep better.

The Ergobaby Pucksack is made of 100% cotton and thus avoids heat accumulation. Thanks to the removable footmuff, changing diapers is also particularly easy. A well thought out pucksack and a top buy recommendation.

The Sterntaler Romping Nest

The Sterntaler Strampelnest is particularly soft and is therefore especially comfortable for babies. The hip positioner prevents slipping. The Sterntaler Pucksack also has slots for the strap of a baby car seat, so your baby can feel secure while on the go, which I find very practical.

Most pucksacks are meant to be used right after birth. The Sterntaler Pucksack, however, is a bit larger and can be used after about 3 months. It is therefore also useful to replace a smaller pucksack, if you find that your baby still needs a pucksack to feel safe.

You want a puck sling?

Then you are type B

For type B there are different puck sacks. There are the classic, simple cloths that are wrapped around your baby using various wrapping techniques, or already pre-shaped cloths that usually also have a Velcro closure to make wrapping especially easy.

You want a classic puck sling?

Classic puckwraps are quite plain and can be wrapped in many different ways, how, that is up to your preferences. The advantage of a classic puck sling is that it can be used in many ways, such as a thin blanket, as a changing mat or as a sunshade for the stroller. Opaque cloths can also serve as a privacy screen while breastfeeding on the go.

The Hoppiez puck sling

You can’t really go wrong with the Hoppiez Pucktuch. It measures 90 x 90 cm and therefore allows for many different swaddling techniques. It also stands out from other products because it is washable at 60° and therefore especially hygienic. The Hoppiez Pucktuch is made of 100% cotton and is tested for harmful substances.

A great puck cloth with versatile use of good quality.

You Want A Preformed Puck Sling?

Pre-shaped burp cloths are very practical and make swaddling easier. If you would like to have a preformed puck sling, then the Sterntaler cover and the Alvi Harmonie wrap are ideal.

The Sterntaler cover

The Sterntaler cover can be used from birth and swaddling is very easy. It is characterized by a particularly soft material and thus becomes a true feel-good swaddle blanket.

The Sterntaler cover also has belt slots for a 3-point harness, because it may not be missing on the road. With this pucktuch your baby always has a safe and soft sleeping environment.

The Alvi Harmonie Pucktuch

The Alvi Harmonie Pucktuch looks similar in shape to the Sterntaler sleep blanket. Thanks to the Velcro closure, the Harmonie Pucktuch holds particularly well. The material is particularly soft, because the Alvi Harmonie Pucktuch is also available with terry Nicki lining and is so also great for the winter, because it keeps your baby nice and warm. It is suitable for the first 3 months of your baby’s life.

The Pucktuch of Alvi consists of 100% cotton and is washable at 60 °.

Pucksack Info

Advantages and disadvantages of pucking

Many babies can’t fall asleep even though they are very tired, because they simply can’t relax properly. If they do manage to fall asleep, they wake up easily due to the Moro reflex. The Moro reflex refers to uncontrolled movements of the limbs that quickly irritate and wake your baby during the light sleep phases. This quickly puts an end to sleep. However, baby is still tired and now especially crotchety.

However, swaddling can counteract the Moro reflex, because the baby is wrapped tightly enough in a cloth so that the little arms and legs no longer have so much freedom of movement. As a result, many babies fall asleep faster and – especially great for parents – they sleep longer in the best case. They also feel secure, as the tightness is reminiscent of the womb. So especially in the first months after birth, swaddling is a great way to make your baby feel comfortable outside of mommy’s tummy.

There are also some disadvantages of swaddling, but with the right swaddle and swaddling technique, they become unimportant. Pucking carries the risk of pinching nerves and the tightness makes breathing difficult. Therefore, parents should make sure that the puck sling is wrapped around the baby quite tightly, but that there is enough free space for small movements.

What you should pay attention to when swaddling

Swaddling helps newborns sleep better, because they have only known the warm, safe tummy of their mother and have to get used to this new, bright and noisy world. Normally, a pucking period of up to three months is recommended.

In the past, the whole baby was swaddled, but now it is recommended to swaddle only the upper body and give the legs freedom to kick, because this is better for the hips. If you put the baby’s hands to your heart, the posture is the same as that of the embryo in the womb, which is said to be particularly relaxing for the baby. Of course, the face should never be covered.

When swaddling, also make sure that there is no heat build-up. Pucksacks made of cotton are particularly safe. With other materials you should check from time to time that it does not get too warm.

Puckering can help to develop a healthy sleep rhythm. If you feel that your baby falls asleep well after birth and does not whine as much, then swaddling may not even be necessary. So whether you should swaddle your baby depends entirely on his or her behavior.

If you decide to swaddle, watch closely how your baby reacts. Most are very comfortable in their puck sling, but some just don’t like it.

Here is what you should look for when buying a puck sling or pucksack

The shape

First, you should consider what shape your pucksack should have. More specifically, do you want a puck sling or a pucksack? Personally, I think a pucksack has some advantages and it also ensures legroom for your little one.

Pucksocks, on the other hand, can be individually wrapped using different techniques and are versatile. So both models have advantages, which one you prefer is a matter of taste

The material

It helps if the material of the pucksack is somewhat elastic, so that it adapts better. It should be breathable to avoid heat accumulation. Also, think about how warm you want the pucksack to keep your baby. If it’s going to be used consistently for sleeping in the winter, it’s better if you look for a material that keeps nice and warm.

In the summer, the pucksack is used more for puckering and may also be thinner. However, there is a risk of overheating even with thin fabrics when the temperatures outside are a bit higher, so you should either not puck here or check your baby regularly.

Care

Make sure that The material has a good quality and may also in the washing machine. Because so, like most baby things, also the Pucksack gets dirty quickly times.
