Swaddling <\/em>is a technique in which we wrap the baby in a blanket to simulate the feeling of comfort when the baby was in its mother’s womb. This is a very old technique used all over the world. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Swaddling<\/em> helps the baby sleep longer and also prevents the so-called Moro reflex, which is an involuntary movement of the baby’s body that usually happens in the first three months of life and causes the baby to wake up suddenly. This reflex is similar to the sensation many people have when they are having a dream and it suddenly feels like they are falling. <\/p>\n

Another benefit is the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). This syndrome occurs when the baby turns upside down and suffers from suffocation or overheating. It is recommended that the baby sleeps upside down, many sleep badly in this position, but the swaddle helps the baby in this position. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Experts do not recommend swaddling<\/em> if the baby is more than 4 months old. This practice should be stopped before the baby is 6 months old, the age at which they begin to try to turn on their own. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. The first step is to spread a blanket, or a diaper, on the floor with one corner folded forward.<\/li>\n
  2. The second step consists of placing the baby on the blanket face up with his head above the fold.<\/li>\n
  3. Naturally, fold the baby’s right arm across the body and drape the blanket over the chest. The left arm must remain free above this fold. <\/li>\n
  4. Then fold the bottom part of the blanket up so that it covers baby’s little feet and attach it to the fold near the neck.<\/li>\n
  5. Finally, repeat step three with your left arm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
