There are a few elements to consider when choosing an outfit before swaddling: - Temperature, both outdoors and inside Avoid layering: Do not add extra layers to baby swaddles. 'Blankets could cause overheating or suffocation should they pull them over their heads.' If it feels chilly, give them a cuddle and pop them into a long sleeved baby-grow. Whereas, if it feels a bit hot then remove one of their layers, suggests Ratcliffe. 'If they are swaddled they might have too much on underneath so loosen the swaddle,' However, it isn't for every baby, so don't be alarmed if your little one rejects swaddling in favour of stretching out. Every child is different when it comes to how they feel most comfortable. Baby swaddle safety advice Spread out the swaddle blanket on a flat surface, arranged so that the corners match the points of a compass.

I have a load of these and love them.

In this gentle wrapping, with arms by their sides, babies feel soothed by the womb-like environment — and with a smaller chance of setting off their startle reflex, swaddles help a baby achieve deep sleep in many ways. The practice of swaddling has been used in cultures throughout the world for thousands of years. The best swaddles will wrap your baby up in a way that mimics the womb, creating a warm, safe feeling for your baby, which encourages them to sleep for longer in their crib. By doing this, we whittled our longlist down and chose a selection of products that we think offer something for everybody. Why you should trust us Another plus of swaddling is that it can also prevent a child's startle reflex from waking them up. Known as the Moro reflex, this occurs most often when a baby has heard a noise or been disturbed, but sometimes this can happen when moving. It is said that when this happens, the baby feels like they are falling, which causes them to jump and be alarmed. Swaddling can help ease the Moro reflex, resulting in deeper or longer sleep.
