Swaddling can be very helpful for newborns to help calm their Moro reflex (often referred to as the “startle reflex” - you know, the one that causes your baby to hit himself in the face and wake up very annoyed? Yeah, that one.)
Swaddling is not a sleep prop, but something that can really help some babies to sleep well during those first few months when those limbs are flying all over the place! However, many parents wonder when to transition from the swaddle.
In this episode we talk about...
- What a swaddle is
- The purpose of a swaddle
- How it can help some babies sleep better
- Some reasons you might want to use a swaddle
- The transition to a sleep bag
