September and summer time is in the air!

It has been a wee while since I updated the blog!! ooopss.. so many Peke Moe orders... so little time to chat!! ;)

We are busy getting orders made up and are getting the rush from international countries heading into autumn/winter and choosing the Peke Moe as a cosy swaddle alternative to keep their babies snug and warm ... and from NZ & Australian customers heading from spring into summer looking for a swaddling alternative to prevent their babies overheating , yet providing a comfortable cosy sleeping bag ....

We have had many new fans join or fan page - please come and join, you will hear of specials JUST FOR FANS.. :) http://www.facebook.com/PekeMoe

We have been very proud to support International Babywearing Week. We donated 4x Peke Moe to Slingbabies - http://www.slingbabies.co.nz and they are using them in raffles and via Trademe for some fundraising auctions to raise money for slings for the NICU (for prem/unwell babies) to encourage skin to skin and kangaroo care for babies. Please support them!! and join their facebook fan page too!! (just search facebook for slingbabies!)



Hugs to all, and don't forget to share the Peke Moe link to your friends... you never know when the Peke Moe may be the perfect option and they will thank you forever!!

from swaddling .... to Peke Moe sleep sack!

I still find it amazing to hear of babies that just 'don't like' swaddling.. and sleep fine without it!! after two monsters who ONLY slept well swaddled...


This shows his first 'swaddle' moments after being born!


I remember the cold sweat breaking out after going in and finding Tyde with his miracle blanket up around his head one night... I knew it was the beginning of the end... we tried all the 'tricks' of swaddle weaning - one arm out, loosen the swaddle, different swaddling techniques, a toy to hold etc etc.. but nothing worked!


he went from sleeping through to waking... LOTS... he was getting more and more overtired (and so were we)....


The first 'prototype' Peke Moe

The first night in his Peke Moe, he slept through again! It was honestly amazing!! and I fell in love with the Peke Moe from that moment on!!!



We have been offering the Peke Moe to other parents all around the world for almost 2 years now! It's fabulous to hear that we were not the only ones with babies that didn't transition easily from the swaddle! There are THOUSANDS of babies just like ours! ;) hahaha...

It was also wonderful to hear that even babies who HATE the swaddle, LOVE the Peke Moe!


waking up happy in his Peke Moe!

Check out our feedback page on the website, or the 'Reviews' page on our Facebook Fan Page to hear it straight from the 'customers' :)

We have received more wonderful Peke Moe baby pics lately, parents in Australia and New Zealand are commenting on how warm and cosy the new winter weight sleep sacks are for their babies, keeping their hands chill free all night, and so much better than when their babies were escaping their swaddling blankets!

(Ripper Rugby), we've had lotttts of orders due to our FaceBook Fan Page special, I attended a community meeting to support the development of a skateboard park in our little town (and added my name to the committee!) and tomorrow starts a new 'stage' in our lives as a 'partnership' with DP getting the 'snip'!!!! deeeeeep breath (for his sake! hahaha)

Along with all of this, we have received some fabulous feedback from parents who have recently purchased Peke Moe : here they are

"Hey there Gina, Just wanted to let you know - I got your parcel yesterday and washed it immediately. I tried 'A' in it today - for the first time in her wee life (8 months) she went to sleep, unswaddled and slept for an hour and a half for both of her naps! I have put her to sleep in it now and she is fast asleep - looking like a wee starfish! ... FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - UNSWADDLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! This is a total break through - believe me - you don't know how long I have tried to get her to go to sleep and have proper naps unswaddled - tonight will be interesting indeed! So far, so bloody good!!!!!Thanks Penelope". (from NZ) then this :
" Well I'll tell you this Gina!Last night she went down like a dream - UNSWADDLED - and she woke 9 hours later for a feed, went straight back to sleep and woke at 7.15am!!!!!!!!!!! Unswaddled!!!!Good Lord this is just AMAZING! I have tried so hard to get her unswaddled and this worked INSTANTLY without tears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How brilliant is that please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I shall be mentioning your product to all my friends and post a thread on my international IVF parenting chat room as this is a common problem amongst Mummies all around the world!Brilliant product, brilliant trade and I know one swallow doesn't make a summer but I am quietly confident that we are on the road to happy sleeping!Many, many, many thanks!Penelope and Allegra!!!!!!!"

and this

"Hi Gina, Just wanted to let you know that our baby now falls asleep in the Peke Moe and stays asleep through to the morning! I don't know how it works so well as she can't sleep in sleeping bags. I'm just so happy we don't need the swaddle any longer as I was beginning to worry she would need to be swaddled into her childhood! Thank you!" from Catherine (UK)

and this

"Thanks for the great trade, I love it!! Wish id had 1 of this with my 1st 3 kiddies!! Hope to trade again " Paula NZ

and this

"We have been using our first Peke Moe for a week and 'R' loves it - she won't sleep unwrapped but sleeps so well in this! We'd like a second one please." (Sally in Australia)

and this

"Hi Gina, The Peke Moes we bought have been great- thank you. We use them in the evening when we go for walks as well as sleeping time. Can we please order three more to be delivered to germany." (Stefan - Germany)

and this....

"Good morning- A few months ago, I purchased some sleep sacs from your company and they are WONDERFUL. I promised you some pictures, however, it has been almost impossible to catch her. She is quite a light sleeper. You and your company will be in my heart forever, You helped me help my little girl and for that I thank you!" Lisa - US

Peke Moe - Happy Easter to you all!

We hope you're enjoying your easter break with family and friends.
lots of orders for Peke Moe sleep sacks still coming in throughout the weekend, so hopefully we'll have another bunch of new Peke Moe baby photos for you all shortly! :)

Some more feedback we've received lately includes comments about how soft and cosy the new brushed cotton knit/jersey fabric is. Perfect for babies that scratch at their face or those with eczema.

Also that for babies in NZ/Australia where the weather is cooling, the Peke Moe sleeping bag is awesome for keeping babies hands warm throughout the night, and excellent for keeping baby snug and warm during dream feeds/nappy changes in the middle of the night.

Wonderful to hear that the Peke Moe is working perfectly for swaddle houdini's who are able to escape any of the fitted type swaddlers.

Just awesome to know that the Peke Moe is helping to transition babies who are addicted to / not sleeping well with swaddling.

Look forward to updating you more soon!!! :)

Easter wishes from

Brrr chilly here in NZ - More feedback on the Peke Moe!

Here's a pic of Benjamin from the USA.

brrrrr... it's Autumn/Fall here in NZ now and we're having our first 'chilly' day... My sister said that her boy Ash had been waking at night as he was a bit cold, he was still in his summer Peke Moe... so we made up one of the new cotton knit/jersey Peke Moe for him, and she was very pleased to ring and say he slept right through the night last night!!! YAY for Peke Moe she said!! :) Of course it's kind of weird, as we're getting LOTS of orders for the summerweight Peke Moe from US, UK, Canada etc!!! and all our NZ and Australia orders are for the regular weight or the new delicious brushed cotton knit/jersey fabric!

Here are some more of comments we've received about the Peke Moe recently, you can see hundreds more comments on our Feedback page -

"Received today and its fantastic - the new material is awesome. Attached is picture of Renee Smales (15 months) in her brand new Peke Moe and looking very happy with her purchase!! " Tracey & Renee - NZ

"Hi Gina,Amelia has been wearing them. She loves them! She sleeps so well and she loves sucking on her cloth-covered hands. I like the larger size for her...I think it gives her more room. I notice she puts them over her face. I would like to order another" Shannon - US.

"We love the pekemoe! I do like the fabric a lot - I hope you are still not waiting on me! My son's name is Jack. I put him down w/out the pekemoe the other day and he scratched up his face - that pekemoe really helps us out! He might have to sleep in it forever!" Meaghan - US
I would first like to say that my baby(who is 4months now) absolutely loves her pekemoe. The little rascal doesn't sleep without it and it's time to get another two. She loves covering her face with both hands, and because she is teething, she is starting to suck the ends of her pekemoe making it nice and moist. Sometimes I don't wash and dry it in time before she goes down, and well she doesn't unless I rock her lol and then she only sleeps for an half an hour arrgh. I have a few sleeing sacks but nothing that covers her hands, and it's definitely a comforter for her when she can cover her face. My baby also got chicken pox and it was great because she couldn't scratch herself and she had heaps over her face and body. It was an absolute godsend. So thanks heaps for a great product and I would like to order 2 more pekemoes please." Gina - NZ.

It's fabulous to hear how well babies are sleeping in their Peke Moe!

Please keep the feedback and pictures coming!!! And don't forget to join our Peke Moe Fan Page on Facebook

Peke Moe - TGIF!

Hello everyone.. yay it's Friday afternoon here in NZ. Tyde (my littlest boy) is having a nap,Reef just got home from school and Jay has been working on my van all day, it failed it's Warrant this week! BOOHOO... anyway YAY For wonderful men.. he's fixed it!!! :) and saved us alot of money by doing it himself!

The boys are going to the grandparents tomorrow for the night and I will be doing the accounts! boohoo!! ;) BUT.. I'm hoping that Jay and I will do something fun together tomorrow night.. maybe dinner out ... or a good DVD and take out??! :)

We have received more amazing Peke Moe baby pics today, including the gorgeous wee William from Christchurch asleep in his hammock wearing his Peke Moe baby sleep sack,

and an ultra cute little man Alessandro - this wee man could be a baby model eh!!!. -

I REALLY appreciate parents letting us know/ giving us FEEDBACK how their baby gets on in the Peke Moe - transitioning from swaddling, and great to hear how it also is a great 'blanket' alternative, keeps babies hands warm, and excellent for babies with eczema or those who scratch at their face. These stories, (and pictures) are our inspiration.... :) Keep em coming!! have a fabulous weekend!

Please don't forget to join our Facebook Peke Moe Fan Page here!

All these international Peke Moe babies!!

So wonderful to receive pictures and feedback from parents / grandparents all over the world about how much their babies love their Peke Moe... please keep them coming... and check out the Peke Moe babies page and the Feedback page to see what's new!

Here are some of our 'lovelies' received today

Ben - from the UK

and Levi from the US. Wonderful to hear how the Peke Moe has helped to clear up Levi's ezcema too :)

Don't forget to tell your friends about the Peke Moe, it might be JUST what they need for their swaddle houdini! :)

want to continue swaddling???? try this uber swaddle

oooh... almost forgot !!!

Found this page the other day, and thought, wow, how clear and easy to understand is this! The 'uber-swaddle' as shown on this lovely ladies site shows a very similar concept to the miracle blanket...
definitely worth a look for those babies that are breaking free of the swaddle, but perhaps not quite ready for a Peke Moe yet!!!

Early mornings........

ho hum... Tyde is waking at around 6am at the moment... and as I don't want him to wake up Reef, I just get up with him... BUT this morning he actually came and snuggled in bed with me for about half an hour (daddy was just home from work after a long night shift!).... I must say those morning 'snuggles' with my littlest boy are pretty darn good!!! :)


I never had these early morning wakings when he was in his Peke Moe!!!! and it is Autumn here in NZ, so maybe I need to rethink his bedding?? My sister has one of the new -cotton knit / tshirting Peke Moe sleep sacks, and her little boy Ash has started sleeping all night!!!! Perhaps I'll have to get mum to run up an extra large one for Tyde! :) haha...


I have decided to 'spotlight' one Peke Moe baby each time I drop in here... today is the gorgeous Phoebe from New Zealand:

I have updated the site and we are working with only 'white' Peke Moe at the moment, we have been unable to source any ongoing supplies of colours.... but I will always be on the search!!


Our Facebook 'Fan' page has only been up for a day and we already have 26 fans! How cool!!

Ok must clean up after breakfast! don't forget, if your baby is a swaddle houdini, escaping swaddle or wrap at night, or getting cold hands, it may be worth trying a Peke Moe!!!!

Peke Moe now 'blogging!' YAY

Well , here we are! I thought I should 'break into' the blogging world... This page will be part of our Peke Moe - groups - here are our links:
