Swaddle your baby to sleep
If you are a parent to a newborn, don’t you wish that you had a technique that could put your baby to sleep for the whole night? Yes? Then swaddling may be just what you are looking for. Swaddling is an age-old technique that was used by mothers and grandmothers to wrap babies tightly in a cloth. It basically fakes the environment the baby enjoyed when it was in its mother’s womb. So the baby feels safe, secure and warm.
When you swaddle your baby, it is not only going to fall asleep soon after and stay that way for the major part of the night, it is also going to be protected against SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. With so many incidents of SIDS being reported, this is something every baby should be protected against. Also, even when it’s not sleeping time for your baby, it is going to enjoy when you swaddle it. Just swaddle it tightly and play some soothing music. You will love watching your baby enjoy!
One thing you need to remember when you swaddle your baby is not to use a normal baby blanket. There are swaddle blankets that baby clothing and bedding manufacturers sell, and that is something you should invest in. Swaddling blankets are not only easier for you to use, they are also made of lightweight, breathable fabrics which will keep your baby warm as well as keep it from getting overheated.
Swaddle your baby with love and see how it grows.

Swaddling is one of those things that many new parents have heard about but are not too sure about how to go about doing it. Here are a few facts about swaddling you should know about.
Using special swaddling blankets for swaddling your baby is better than using a normal baby blanket. This is because the former is light weight, stretchable and comes with Velcro snaps that make the procedure simple and less time- consuming.
It is extremely important to use a material that is lightweight and breathable for swaddling your baby as you don’t want it to overheat. Make sure that your baby does not start perspiring or feels too warm.
Swaddling mimics the environment babies are used to when they were in their mother’s womb. It makes them feel safe, secure ad comfortable. Studies have suggested that swaddling helps babies sleep better and prevents SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Instances of SIDS are frighteningly increasing every year.
It is okay to keep one of your baby’s arms free when you swaddle it. It will make it feel comfortable. You will have to keep an eye on it if you do that though, as your baby may scratch its face with its finger nails.
Don’t swaddle your baby too tight. Over- restricting your baby’s movement so that it cannot move at all is not a good idea. Stop swaddling your baby if it feels discomfort or sleeps well without it.

If you have heard about how important swaddling your new born baby is, you must also know that choosing the right swaddling blanket to go with it is equally important. There are many kinds of swaddling blankets available in the market, considering the different needs babies may have, and choosing the perfect one can be tough.
There are mainly 3 kinds of blankets for you to choose from: the large square ones, the T- shaped ones with foot pockets and the zippered- in kind.
Up to 4 weeks, your baby will do well with any kind of blanket considering that at this stage it will not move around too much. Any cute blanket that appeals to you is good, as long the fabric is nice and allergenic- free.
After about 4 weeks, your baby will start to wiggle and stretch more forcefully and that is when you are going to need another kind of swaddle blanket.
If you choose a square blanket, buy a 45″ x 45″ one, as this is a really good size that will not put too much pressure on your baby when it is wrapped up in it, and which you can unravel a little when it is awake. If you opt for the T-shaped with a foot pocket, make sure you get one that is stretchable. If you go for the zippered in kind, you can use it for times when your baby sleeps. This kind will keep your baby tight and secure for a long time.
