Imagine this for a second, you’re floating in a warm, secure, dark home and you’re never alone. THEN all of a sudden, you’re in this loud, bright, cold, smelly place where you’re now alone. That transition would be a big transition for any adult, let alone a tiny little baby. By mimicking what it was like for baby in the womb, you can really help ease their transition to the big wide world. One way to ease this transition is through swaddling your baby – helping them feel warm, secure, and have the feeling of touch.
Babies are born with an involuntary motor response called the Moro Reflex (aka the startle reflex). The startle reflex is where a baby involuntarily moves their arms and legs as if they were “startled”. The startle reflex is present for the first 3 months of life and can cause baby to wake from sleep. Swaddling baby can help reduce the baby’s startle reflex by holding them securely. Thus, helping you get a better night’s sleep!!
There are many myths about swaddling, and these can leave new parents confused and scared. So, lets debunk some of these swaddling myths!!
Please note it is important to not swaddle your baby when they are able to roll.
So swaddle those little babies and help guide them in the transition from the womb to the big wide world, and get a little bit of extra sleep along the way.
