Not every swaddle is made equal!

Plenty of evidence shows that swaddling, when used correctly, can be a incredible way to promote safe sleeping. The safe sleep guidelines from the American association of Pediatrics are clear: swaddling helps to keep babies on their backs, which is the optimal sleep position to assist in stopping SIDS (Sudden infant death Syndrome). considering that the guidelines also recommend that there be no blankets, pillows or bumper pads in the crib, it is of utmost value that your baby be swaddled in a right and optimal fashion. appropriately done, the swaddle will firmly stay in place, keeping baby safe and comfortable.

Some of the benefits of swaddling?

Improved sleep for baby and parents

Decreased Moro startle reflex and improved REM sleep, which is crucial for brain development

Reduced colic and fussiness–a delighted baby is a calm baby

Elimination of over-stimulation

Comfort for your little one by mimicking the womb environment

With these benefits in mind, here are some of the certain how-to’s for safe and effective swaddling, as well as what you must look for in an optimal swaddle:

Temperature-Regulating Fabric

Fabrics that maintain too much heat will only be uneasy and potentially hazardous for baby. A baby’s body hasn’t yet developed to regulate their own temperature effectively, and their small size indicates that they can swiftly become overheated. look for a moisture-wicking fabric—as you would find in some sportswear—that will keep baby warm and dry without overheating. These fabrics pull perspiration away from the skin and through the fabric, so it can evaporate rather than remaining on the skin. This is crucial because if not wicked away, sweat that cools on the skin on amazing nights can cause baby’s body temperature to drop. and in the heat of summer, if sweat is simply trapped, baby can swiftly overheat. A good fabric will keep baby comfortable all year around. Please remember it is also crucial to confer with your pediatrician to figure out the optimal temperature for the room where your little one will be sleeping.

Flexible Fabric

While some people worry that swaddling can interfere with proper hip and joint development, what you need to look for is a swaddle with fabric that has enough give to allow the hip joints to step freely without interfering with the comfort and safety benefits of the swaddle. 

Avoid swaddles that restrict hip movement, as they can result in your baby developing hip dysplasia. Your baby needs complimentary range of motion in their hips and legs to keep their joint development on track. The swaddle needs to be tight at the torso, but not below. It can still be perfectly safe if bands are used below baby’s feet.

Don’t forget to Band

Banding the swaddle below the feet is absolutely necessary, even as your baby grows, to make sure a snug and safe fit. What you don’t want is the fabric rising during sleep, potentially covering your baby’s face and creating a suffocation risk. Banding the excess fabric below baby’s feet makes sure this won’t happen.

PREMIA! Banding the bottom of the swaddle makes midnight diaper changes a breeze! No need to unswaddle and disturb baby completely (with hands flailing!). just take off the band and do a quick change, ninja style.

Swaddle Sizing

A swaddle must fit, so that your baby can have their carry above the top edge of the fabric when placed on the swaddle. This may seem a little counter-intuitive, as you might think that keeping the carry below the fabric line will keep baby a lot more snuggly wrapped. but this actually poses the risk of suffocation if the fabric ends up in your baby’s face. keeping the swaddle below the shoulders also makes sure that no constraint is put on the carry joints. 

Ideally, you’re trying to find one with a flexible fit that will grow with your baby, though remember that once your baby is rolling over from back to stomach (typically around four to five months old), it’s time to consider using a transition swaddle (with one or both arms out), or to stop swaddling altogether.

Keep It Tight

Loose swaddles can actually pose a danger in that they could come undone with baby’s movement. The result may be that the child gets tangled up in it. and according to the safe sleep Guidelines, a loosened swaddle is essentially a blanket and as a result a no-now łóżeczku.

Jak ciasno jest wystarczająco ciasne? Nadal musisz być w stanie przesunąć rękę płasko między klatką piersiową dziecka a pucie, ale nie więcej.

Nie ma wątpliwości, że Sluddling to wspaniały sposób, aby pomóc małemu mistrzowi śpić łatwo i bezpiecznie. Kluczem jest znalezienie puchu, które działa na rozmiar i ruchy dziecka!
