Swaddler & Wrappers

A good baby blanket does more than keep a newborn warm — it helps with swaddling for better sleep, doubles as a stroller cover, and is one of the first things new parents reach for during hospital discharge and the early weeks at home. Zubaida's baby blanket collection is designed around exactly these use cases, offering soft, breathable options suitable for Pakistan's varying climate across cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.

This collection includes swaddle-style wrapping sheets, quilted blankets, blanket-and-gadda (mattress) sets, and blanket-and-pillow combinations — all sized for newborns through the first year. Swaddling, the practice of wrapping a baby snugly in a blanket to mimic the womb, is widely recommended by paediatricians in the first few months because it can reduce the startle reflex and help babies sleep for longer stretches. A muslin or lightweight cotton wrapping sheet works best for swaddling in warmer months, while a thicker quilted blanket is better suited to winter or air-conditioned rooms.

What you'll find in this collection:

- Lightweight cotton wrapping sheets for swaddling

- Quilted and fleece blankets for cooler weather

- Blanket & gadda (mattress) sets for the crib or cot

- Blanket & pillow sets as a coordinated bedding starter kit

- Prints and solid colours suitable for boys, girls, or unisex nurseries

Pairing your blanket purchase with the right size matters — most newborn wrapping sheets measure between 90x90 cm and 100x100 cm, giving enough fabric to fully swaddle a baby up to around 6 months old, after which a larger blanket or sleep sack is usually more practical as babies become more mobile and can kick a swaddle loose.

If you're setting up a full nursery rather than just buying a blanket, browse our Newborn hub for the complete range of first-month essentials, or check our Baby Gift Sets if you'd prefer a coordinated blanket-plus-outfit bundle for a baby shower gift. Blankets also pair naturally with night suits and rompers for a complete sleep setup.

A frequent question from new parents is whether swaddling is safe — it is, provided the blanket is snug around the arms/body but loose around the hips (to allow natural hip movement), and the baby is always placed on their back to sleep. Once a baby shows signs of rolling over (usually around 3-4 months), swaddling should be stopped in favour of a wearable blanket or sleep sack for safety.

All Zubaida's blankets are made from tested, skin-safe fabrics, machine washable for the frequent laundering newborn items require, and colourfast so prints don't fade after repeated washes. Orders ship nationwide across Pakistan with cash on delivery, and can be exchanged within 7 days if you need a different size or print.
