Do you know the technique of swaddling? In this blog post we will guide you and tell you why it is good to swaddle your baby.
Swaddling is a fantastic and popular tool for your newborn baby. With the enveloping feel of the swaddle, which ensures that the arms and legs are close to the body, your baby will imitate the warm and safe time in the mother's womb.
Swaddling is especially good for newborn babies from 0-3 months. If you start getting your baby used to being swaddled from the very beginning, you will quickly notice that your baby finds peace and sleeps better. However, be aware that your child has his body free during the waking hours, so that he has the opportunity to discover his arms and legs.
If your baby is restless and often upset, a swaddle is a great solution to try. In addition to creating security and sleep, the swaddle also helps reduce colic and the risk of SIDS.
When swaddling your baby, make sure they don't have too many clothes on so that they don't get too hot. Use a thin, airy swaddle of good quality and make sure your baby is swaddled while lying on their back.
BUT HOW DO I SWAB MY BABY CORRECTLY?
We have made a little guide for you so you can try swaddling your baby the right way:
♡ Fold one corner down on the swaddle
♡ Place the child's head on the corner you have folded down so that your child is positioned diagonally.
♡ Now fold all the other corners tightly under your baby, so that both arms and legs lie tightly. ( But not TOO tight, baby should be able to breathe) The swaddle should be tight enough to mimic the tight and safe feeling of the womb.
Have you been tempted to try the method on your baby, but are you missing a nice and soft swaddle? Don't worry. You can of course choose from a lot of different swaddles in the finest prints and in 100% organic and GOTS-certified cotton right here.
We hope our little post has given you inspiration and motivation to experiment with swaddling your little one.
