Our Story
Where it all began
It all started with something simple — yet deeply universal: those first nights with a newborn. Cindy, founder of Calma Baby, remembers them vividly. The fragmented sleep. The unpredictable wake-ups. The quiet exhaustion that slowly settles in. And above all, one question that kept coming back, night after night:
How can you help your baby sleep better… without going against their nature?
Like many parents, she tried what already existed. Swaddles that felt too restrictive. Solutions that didn't truly respect a baby's natural needs. But nothing offered that essential balance: security, freedom of movement… and natural soothing. So together with her husband, they decided to create what they couldn't find.
An intuition that became a conviction
Babies don't need to be restricted to sleep better.
They need to feel held, reassured… like they were in the womb. Before birth, everything is different. Babies are gently contained. Their movements are guided, never abrupt. Their body rests in a natural position — legs slightly flexed — which also supports digestion and reduces discomfort.
At birth, that sensation disappears overnight. And what if that was the missing piece?
A science-backed approach
Built with expertise, shaped by instinct.
To turn this intuition into something real, Cindy and her husband partnered with Dr. Adrian Moretti, a pediatrician with over 12 years of experience and a specialist in newborn sleep. Together, they built Calma Baby around key principles:
- Recreate gentle, womb-inspired containment
- Softly support the elbows to reduce the startle reflex
- Keep hands free to encourage natural self-soothing
- Promote a natural position that also supports digestion
- Create ideal conditions for deeper, more stable sleep
Every detail was designed to serve a dual purpose — one that we believe is inseparable:
For babies — Better sleep & psychomotor development
By allowing free movement of the hands and a natural leg position, Calma Baby actively supports the newborn's neuromotor development — fostering coordination, self-regulation, and the early exploration that builds healthy foundations.
For parents — Fewer wake-ups. More rest.
Fewer startle reflexes and longer sleep cycles mean more uninterrupted rest for the whole family — because a rested parent is a more confident, present parent.
When a baby sleeps better and develops naturally, everything changes — for them, and for you.
More than just a swaddle
A new approach. A delicate balance.
Calma Baby is not a traditional swaddle. It's a new approach — a delicate balance between freedom and security. Between instinct and innovation. Babies can move, touch, and self-soothe — while still being gently contained to prevent sudden wake-ups.
The result: fewer startle reflexes, fewer night wakings, longer and calmer sleep. For your baby… and for you.
Materials designed for sleep
Extrafine merino wool. Nature's finest.
Every Calma Baby cocoon is made from extrafine merino wool, carefully selected for its natural performance:
- Thermoregulating — ideal temperature in any season
- Breathable — reduces overheating at night
- Hypoallergenic — gentle on the most sensitive skin
- Antibacterial — naturally clean, naturally safe
"To help newborns transition naturally from womb to world — for calmer nights, for them and for their parents."
Launched in 2025, each cocoon is crafted in Portugal (Europe) with care and precision, using only high-quality, responsible materials. Today, Calma Baby supports the first nights of many families. But at its core, nothing has changed.
Every product we create carries the same intention: to soothe, to reassure, and to transform nights. Because beyond the product, what we truly offer is simple — more calm, more sleep, and more peace of mind. 🤍
