Swaddling plays such an important role for sleep and safety of a newborn baby. Deciding what type of swaddle to use for your newborn baby can be a tricky decision for new parents. Benefits of swaddling include:
- Soothing your newborn baby by mimicking the feeling of being in the womb.
- Preventing a baby from startling themselves awake with their startle reflex movements.
- Swaddling can help babies sleep better, relax, and feel more secure.
Types of Swaddles
1. Traditional swaddle wraps
- Muslin, cotton wrap or a thin blanket
- This type of wrapping is designed to swaddle your baby like a burrito;
- Newborn babies are wrapped with their arms over their chests;
- Generally, this style will be shown in hospital after you have given birth;
- This method can be hard to master, and you will often find your baby escaped their wrap which leads to more wake-ups during the night.
2. Swaddle Pouch/ Swaddle Bag
- Easier to use than traditional swaddle blankets, and they often have features like snaps, zippers, or Velcro to help you swaddle your baby.
- Some swaddle pouches have opening at the shoulders so you can transition the swaddle into an arms-out sleeping bag when your baby starts rolling over.
- Some swaddle bag has opening at the bottom making nappy changes quick and easy.
When choosing a baby swaddle, you should consider things like:
- Type: Traditional swaddles require more skill to wrap, but they offer more customization. Swaddle wraps/ bags are easier to use and often have fasteners to secure them.
- Material: Soft, breathable materials like cotton, bamboo, or muslin which are gentle on a baby’s skin.
- Size: Swaddles come in different sizes. Some are designed for newborns and some swaddles can fit larger babies.
- Hip health: A hip-healthy swaddle is snug around the arms but loose around the hips and legs, allowing the baby to bend and open their hips.
- Safety: Avoid swaddles with loose fabric, which can be a suffocation hazard. The swaddle should fit snugly without restricting movement or breathing.
Safety when using baby swaddles:-
- Ensure the face of the baby are uncovered in the swaddle.
- Ensure the babies are swaddled from the neck until baby feet under the swaddle.
- Avoid wrapped too tight to ensure baby can still move their arms and legs.
- Avoid overdress when using the swaddle in the warmer weather
