Just like the womb, a swaddling blanket will help you baby feel safe and secure. This type of blanket is simply a blanket that is wrapped securely around your infant. It can also help your baby sleep longer, which means you can sleep longer too.
When a baby is born they have to adjust to being outside of the womb. To help them adjust and minimize any fear they may feel. A swaddle blanket comes in many different colors, sizes, and designs. It is important you learn how to swaddle your baby the right way.
Here are the steps to swaddle your baby correctly:
1. Spread the blanket out and fold one corner in about the length of your hand.
2. Lay the baby on the blanket diagonally so that the baby's head is above the fold.
3. Pull the right side of the blanket across the baby and tuck it under left side of the baby.
4. Pull the left side over the baby and tuck it under the right side of the baby.
5. Lift the baby up and tuck the bottom under the baby's back.
Only for the first month or so is it a good idea to tuck in the baby's arms. After a month or so it is better to keep the baby's arms out of the blanket.
You can use a basic blanket or you can find blankets that are made just for swaddling. Now you know how to comfort your newborn and get some sleep too!
