We all know how important it is for babies to get good sleep. Sleep deprivation has the power to make not just your baby cranky, but also you. In fact, proper sleep is so important because it is directly linked to baby’s growth and development. Now, a baby sleeps best in the warmth of his/her mother.
However, this is not always easy to achieve as mothers cannot be lying down with the babies all the time. So what is one thing that can give the baby warmth and comfort like a mother’s presence? Swaddling!

While swaddling has many benefits, it is also important to understand some of the risk factors associated with swaddling:
As a solution, ensure you use a light cotton swaddling blanket that will not result in hyperthermia and will help the baby’s skin breathe. Also, do not keep the baby swaddled for a very long time – ensure they get enough time to kick their legs and move their arms. Also, remember that not all babies like being swaddled. If your baby is not happy being swaddled and fights when you try to swaddle, then maybe swaddling is not the right option for your baby.
