What size Peke Moe™ should I get? - There are 2 sizes available 00/small (for approx 0-7months old) and 0/large (or approx 7-13months old). We also make an extra large by request (these are not in stock normally so may take an extra day or so to be completed.  The summer weight and winter weight fabrics do have a wee bit of 'stretch' to them. If your baby is VERY addicted to swaddling and does not sleep at all well without arms restrained, and your baby is within the sizing of the small , then I would definitely recommend starting with that first. It will provide a small amount of restriction on babies arms/hands and will help transition baby. If your baby is sleeping ok with a bit of arm movement and they are closer to the large size, then I would recommend going for the large size as it will last your baby longer. In the end it's up to you, however if your baby is smaller, then it's not advisable to go for the large as there will be alot more excess fabric.

In order to work out the right size, measure your baby from nape of neck to foot, and then from finger tip to finger tip with babies arms outstretched from sides. (the measurement you're wanting is in relation to the length and width of the Peke Moe™ as shown below)

Small '00' - (approx 0-7 months - approx length -shoulder to zip 29" (74cm) and width 23" (59cm) :

Large '0' -  (approx 7-13months- approx length from shoulder to zip 33" (85cm), approx width 27" (70cm).

Which fabric should I get? - The summer weight is a lightweight muslin, it's great for hot summer weather, the fabric can feel a little 'rough' to start with, but washes up quite soft, however this is not recommended for babies with eczema as the fabric can be a bit too scratchy on babies with super sensitive skin. The regular weight/brushed cotton is a flannelette fabric (similar to what winter sheets and pjamas are made of) it is not hugely thick, but soft and cosy. It does have the 'pilling' effect that all brushed cotton fabrics get, but babies still love it! The winter weight cotton knit fabric is like a thick t-shirting/jersey fabric, absolutely lovely, great quality, but may be a bit warm for all year round use.

How safe is the Peke Moe™? - The Peke Moe™ is extremely safe. If you think about the safety of loose blankets/bedding in the cot, and the opportunity for baby to become tangled up in these (swaddles up over face etc during babies wriggling at night), you will realise that the Peke Moe™ is so much safer. The baby cannot fall 'into' the Peke Moe™, the neck is the same as a t-shirt and fits snugly over babies head and fits in around the neck. In relation to the loose fabric - everytime baby moves their hands/arms the Peke Moe™, the fabric moves away from the face. Many babies love the feeling of the fabric up near the face, they rub it on their face and it helps them learn to self soothe/self settle. All fabrics used for the 'bag' area are 100% cotton and breathable, baby will not overheat (as long as you ensure they are dressed correctly underneath, and it cannot become tangled around babies neck or face (like blankets or swaddles can). To start with, the Peke Moe™ can also be tucked into the foot end of the crib/cot to reduce the amount of arm/hand movement  and reduce the ability for baby to get the fabric up to their face. 

Is there a retailer for the Peke Moe™ in my own country? – AT this stage the Peke Moe are only available directly from us the manufacturers here in NZ.

How do I transition my baby into the Peke Moe™? - Some tips in case your baby doesn't transition immediately (kindly given to me by parents)-

1.You can tuck the foot end of the Peke Moe into the foot end of the cot, this can reduce some of the 'hand movement' within the peke moe to start with.

2.You can do a 'loose' wrap over the Peke Moe to start the sleep/nap with.

3.Try 'sleeping' with the Peke Moe yourself for a night to get your 'smell' on it.

4.If baby has a dummy/pacifier, you can attach it to the front of the Peke Moe with a 10cm length of fabric and safety pin to the front of peke moe (and tie one end to the dummy), if babies wakes for dummy, go in and gently guide their hand to the dummy attached to the peke moe, then guide their hand to their mouth, within a few days they will be able to replace the dummy themselves.

Are there any other colours available in the Peke Moe™? – Unfortunately we have been unable to source an ongoing supply of colours/patterns, so at this time we are only able to provide white in all 3 fabrics.  Every so often we hope to have some limited edition colours/patterns, so do ask.

Return Policy: We will either replace or refund (less shipping & fees) for quality issues with the Peke Moe™ once they are returned to base within 30days of purchase. 

We cannot provide a guarantee that your baby will like the Peke Moe™, and will not refund where this is the reason stated. The summerweight fabric has a tendency to look 'crooked' when layed tlat, this is due to no lack of quality when making or in the fabric, but due to the 'creping' process, The product is still 100% useable and all summerweight Peke Moe will have some tendency to look as though it's been cut on an 'angle' and that it's uneven, however it is cut to exact measurements. The summerweight are also always going to be longer than the other fabrics due to the 'crepeing' of the fabric also. Measurements are related to the regular weight fabric as the guide.
