Swaddling Ideas and Tips

Swaddling, which is the act of wrapping an infant around snug blankets, is a practice that has been going on since a long time. The idea is to recreate the ambience of a womb and make the baby feel safe, secure and warm.

Swaddling also prevents SIDS and chances of colic. Research has shown that babies who are swaddled are less fussy and calmer than those which are not.

Western countries are waking up to the idea of swaddling and many swaddlers have hit the market. It is a good idea to select swaddlers from a trusted baby product brand. This is because using a normal blanket to swaddle your baby may be messy as you don’t want it to be too tight, nor too loose and also want it to stay wrapped nicely.

The SwaddleMe by Kiddopotamus is a great baby swaddler that is very popular with parents. It has been designed with Velcro which makes it very easy to wrap it around your baby and stay closed. What’s more, you can change your baby’s diaper while your baby is still inside the SwaddleMe! You can get SwaddleMe in many different fabrics and colors, even in organic cotton.

Blanket sleepers are another product that makes swaddling easy. They come with holes for arms and the head, and you will even find one which has holes for the legs! Summer Infant, Kiddopotamus, etc. are brands which sell blanket sleepers.
