While we were at the hospital following the birth of our daughter Millie’s delivery. My spouse was an expert at using a swaddle blanket made from muslin. 

Nurses would come by and ask “Who did this amazing swaddle?” Dad of the Year, surely? He was also a pro. When we came home, we hadn’t had a rest for days in the mid-night. And the lights were dim and there was a screaming crying baby. 

That swaddle of muslin was almost impossible. It was a complete failure and a feeling of despair. Can we ever rest again?

Why do we swaddle

Before we get into the recommendations Let’s talk about the reasons we do it and how to do it in a safe manner. 

When babies are born they are extremely snug within the womb. Swaddling mimics the cozy snug mother’s womb and encourages relaxation. 

Swaddling can reduce your Moro reflex (or the startle reflex) and is often associated with greater sleep and better sleeping.

What is the best time and place to change your swaddle to ensure a safe sleep

Swaddles should fit comfortably around the arms. But be loose in the hips to allow the baby can move their hips. Make sure the swaddle won’t completely cover your child’s nose, head, or mouth. 

Every swaddle style offers a different method to correctly be worn. Be sure to follow the instructions and/or watch instructional videos to discover how to wear them. Be conscious of the temperature and the type of fabric and ensure that your baby isn’t overheating. 

Examine their neck and ears. If the ears are red or their neck feels sweaty they might be overheated. Always put your baby on their backs to go to sleep.

Babies should be swaddled only at night when they are ready to go to bed but not for the entire day. Also, it’s essential to stop swaddling once they are able to roll over. If they’re able to roll, they may want to lie on their stomachs and it’s time to put down the swaddle.

The AAP suggests that infants don’t have things in their cribs until they reach at least one year old. This means they should not have blankets, pillows, or animals that are stuffed. 

Sleep bags and other post-rolling sleep outfits are the best options to keep your baby warm. And comfortable and also avoid sleep hazards.

We provide suggestions for your baby’s age when they are nearing the stage of rolling (typically between 3 and 4 months) and also when they are completely rolling.
