A thottil is the cloth cradle that Indian families, especially in South India, have gently rocked their babies to sleep in for generations: a length of soft fabric hung from a hook or stand, swaying with the lightest touch. We make ours in organic cotton, in our own lovely prints, with a breathable leno window so you can check on your baby without lifting the fabric, designed to let air flow through beautifully and keep your little one comfortable and cool. A mosquito net and a wooden separator that keeps the sides open are available as optional extras. Everything here fits a standard ceiling hook or thottil stand.
