Why Swaddle an Infant / Baby?
Swaddling:
? Eases the transition from mother's womb to baby's new world
? Improves baby's physical and emotional well-being -- baby is happier
? Helps to regulate your newborns temperature until internal thermostat develops
? Keeps baby from awakening from natural startle response
? Reduces symptoms of colic (secure fit helps baby sleep longer and cry less)
? Promotes safety awareness regarding Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) -- parents and caregivers put baby to sleep on the back
? Promotes feelings of calm and relaxation, increasing the quality of sleep for both parents and baby
? Impacts quality of life by providing a soothing, secure, comfortable and cozy environment
Swaddling your baby with a Swaddler blanket can also reduce symptoms of colic by helping your baby to sleep longer and cry less. In addition to its soothing properties, swaddling your baby with a swaddling blanket reinforces the importance of placing newborns on their backs to sleep -- research indicates putting your baby on his/her back to sleep has reduced the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by up to 50%.
Swaddling a baby looks easier said than done. Receiving blankets can prove very difficult and time-consuming to work with and they often become loose, which will render the swaddle useless and the benefits it is supposed to provide. It can be frustrating trying to swaddle your child with a regular blanket, especially when your swaddled blanket comes loose and off your baby.
This Swaddler Blanket will keep you free of these frustrations! It is an easy-to-use swaddle blanket that anyone can use.
