When most people hear swaddles, they think of babies wrapped up like cute little burritos, perhaps for a newborn photoshoot. But did you know that there’s so much more to swaddling than the aesthetic? Mothers have been swaddling their newborns for thousands of years, to help them feel calm and improve their sleep.
This traditional practice of wrapping up a baby gently in a cloth? The main reason is because during the first three months after birth, also known as the “fourth trimester,” swaddling creates a snug, womb-like environment for your baby, helping them adjust better to the outside world.
Why Swaddle?
From preventing unnecessary wake-ups to helping calm a colicky baby, here are some of the benefits of swaddling your tiny one:
Swaddling Safety Tips
While swaddling comes with numerous benefits, it has potential risks when done wrong. Below are some recommended safety tips you must follow to prevent your little one from danger or discomfort during swaddling.
More Than a Swaddle
A Muslin Swaddle offers a lot more. The Milk & Honey muslin swaddles not only provide much-needed soothing comfort to newborns, but are also super versatile. They can be used as baby swaddle blankets, covers during naps and nursing time, emergency burp cloths, a buggy stroller cover, changing mats, or tummy time play mats.
Our Swaddles are made from organic bamboo and organic cotton, they’re super-soft and breathable, and are Oeko-Tex certified.
So...to Sum Up:
When done correctly, swaddling your baby is a great way to get them to sleep better, and when the baby sleeps better, so does the entire family! Go ahead and give our super-soft and snuggly muslin swaddles a try. You’ll thank us later.
