Swaddling

Swaddling is a technique of snugly wrapping a baby in a soft cloth or blanket to mimic the feeling of the womb. This calming method helps babies feel secure, reduces startle reflexes, and can improve sleep. Proper swaddling ensures the baby's hips are allowed to move freely and the blanket is not too tight around the chest. When done correctly, swaddling provides comfort, promotes better sleep, and can help soothe a fussy infant. It’s important to follow safe practices to prevent overheating and ensure the baby’s hips and limbs are positioned properly.
