Swaddling your newborn baby will help him sleep better and be safe. It reminds your baby of being swaddled in the womb and helps him sleep longer and more soundly. Babies get up when they move their arms and legs, but this is eliminated by swaddling. The swaddle reduces the occurrence of suffocation and reduces the risk of SIDS in infants. There are many rugs on the market, but some are better than others for various reasons. Wrapped in light blankets provide the best comfort for your newborn. Underneath, various light wrapping blankets large for babies.
1. The Woombie (approx. $24) is a lightweight wrap for newborns that allows the newborn to move around while still providing the benefits of a wrap blanket.
