To swaddle or to not swaddle?
Swaddling has been around for thousands of years. A practice that is used around the world still to this day. It is thought to replicate the womb, by providing a calm environment helping baby feel secure. Swaddling can help reduce the startle reflex which is often associated with disturbing babies sleep in the early days.
Swaddling should be done safely ❗️
Baby should be on their back in their crib or bassinet, never on their front or side. Once your baby can roll swaddling is no longer considered safe.
Swaddling isn’t suited to all babies, Elizah was happy to be swaddled in the early days 🥰
