Learn how to use the To The Moon & Back-ZIP baby zippy for comfy sleep. Tips on sizing, cuff flipping, and caring for Milk Silk fabric.

Quick answer

The To The Moon & Back-ZIP baby zippy is a soft, warm sleepsuit perfect for newborns. Follow these steps to get the right size, flip cuffs for tiny hands and feet, and care for the Milk Silk fabric.

Why sizing matters for a baby sleepsuit

A well-fitting zippy keeps your baby cozy without bunching or restricting movement. The To The Moon & Back-ZIP runs true to size, but if your little one is on the taller side, sizing up gives extra room for growth and comfort. The Milk Silk material has great stretch, so a slightly larger size still fits snugly.

When to flip the cuffs

Sizes 0-3 and 6-12 months have fold-over cuffs that cover tiny fingers and toes. This is especially useful for newborns who tend to scratch or get cold extremities. Once your baby grows, you can leave the cuffs open for more freedom.

How to dress your baby in the To The Moon & Back-ZIP

Choose the correct size: Check your baby's weight and height against the size chart. If your little one is on the taller end, size up for growth room. Common mistake: choosing a size based only on age, which may be too short.
Flip the cuffs for newborns: For sizes 0-3 and 6-12, fold the cuffs over your baby's hands and feet to cover tiny digits. This prevents scratching and keeps extremities warm. Common mistake: forgetting to flip cuffs back when baby starts gripping, which can restrict movement. Once your baby starts grabbing toys, flip cuffs open for freedom.
Zip up and check comfort: Lay your baby on the zippy, insert arms and legs, then zip from bottom to top. Ensure the zipper doesn't pinch skin. Common mistake: zipping too quickly without aligning the fabric, causing bunching near the neck.
Care for Milk Silk fabric: Machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softener to maintain stretch and softness. Common mistake: using hot water or high heat, which can shrink or damage the fabric. Wash before first use to maximize softness.
