Swaddles
Parents always want to provide the best care and comfort for their little ones. Baby swaddles, baby wraps, muslin swaddles, or muslin wraps are a great way to help keep your baby feel snug, safe, and secure. Swaddling is an ancient style of wrapping that has long been used in many cultures as an effective way of calming and soothing infants while they sleep. With its snug fit, baby wraps offer warmth and a sense of security that only a parent’s hug can provide.
Baby wraps also reduce startle reflexes which can help prevent sudden waking during their sleep. Not only does swaddling create a comfortable environment for babies to rest, but it also helps them feel secure enough to settle and drift off into peaceful slumber every night. New mums have countless options when choosing baby swaddle blankets - from lightweight fabrics to all-in-one sleeping bags, there’s something for everyone!

Are baby swaddles safe for newborns?
Baby swaddles are a safe option for newborns as long as they are used correctly. When properly fitted, swaddle blankets provide comfort and security while also allowing your infant’s hips and legs to move freely. Baby wraps help reduce startle reflexes, which can be beneficial in preventing sudden waking during their sleep.
A baby swaddle is also designed to limit the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by helping to ensure that your baby is sleeping on their back with an appropriate amount of clothing. With the right combination of warmth, security, and protection, baby wraps make it easy for new parents to ensure their child is receiving proper care with each gentle eyelid flutter.
What are some tips for swaddling a baby safely?
- Ensure the swaddle is not too tight - make sure that the swaddle allows for free movement of the baby's hips and legs.
- Make sure that all straps, buckles, and ties are secure but loose enough not to constrict your baby's chest or tummy.
- Avoid wrapping around the face or mouth as this can cause breathing difficulties.
- Make sure your baby's head is always uncovered and facing up when you put them down in their cot so they can move freely without obstruction from the swaddle material.
- Place a lightweight blanket over your baby for additional warmth if needed, taking care to tuck it securely beneath their arms and feet to prevent their body heat from escaping out of any gaps in the swaddle fabric.
