Why swaddle your baby

Introduction

Is there anything more satisfying than wrapping your baby in a soft blanket and having them fall asleep instantly? I think not. After all, swaddling is one of the best sleep hacks for babies that can help get rid of all those sleepless nights. But what exactly is swaddling? And why do some babies hate being wrapped up like mummies while others love it? Here's everything you need to know about this handy trick for getting your baby to sleep through the night:

The swaddle keeps baby warm

The swaddle keeps baby warm and cozy. A study by the National Institutes of Health found that babies who were swaddled had temperatures closer to their normal range when sleeping than those who weren't. Being too cold can cause a baby to wake up more often because they're uncomfortable, and it can also make them susceptible to illness (especially if you live in a drafty place). The swaddle helps baby sleep better; it reduces startle reflexes that interrupt sleep patterns, making it easier for your little one to get into a deep sleep cycle where they benefit most from their naps. Finally, being bundled tight calms down an infant's nervous system—a good thing when you're trying desperately not to be woken up every hour by your hungry newborn!

The swaddle helps baby sleep more deeply, which means that he or she is resting more than just in brief spurts throughout the night but rather for longer stretches of time during which there’s no need for waking up to eat or be changed or distracted by noise outside the room (think: airplanes flying overhead).

Swaddled babies startle less, making it easier for them to nod off.

Swaddling can help soothe a baby, which is great for both parents and babies.

Swaddling is also known to help prevent flat head syndrome, which occurs when the bones in the skull fail to form correctly due to pressure on them when a baby lies face down. By wrapping your baby in snug fabric, you're protecting their heads from damage as they sleep soundly at night.

Wrapping your baby in a swaddling blanket is also a great way to keep them warm while they sleep. Babies can get cold easily and the snug fabric will help trap heat, keeping them cozy all night long. Swaddling is also known to help prevent flat head syndrome, which occurs when the bones in the skull fail to form correctly due to pressure on them when a baby lies face down.

The swaddle helps calm baby down as long as baby isn't hungry or dirty.

The swaddle helps calm your baby down as long as your baby isn't hungry or dirty. That's because the snuggle wrap provides a sense of security, which is what all babies want most in this world. So if it's been a rough day at work, and you're feeling extra stressed out by the thought of what tomorrow has in store, take advantage of these simple tricks to help calm your little one down:

• Swaddle them tightly like a burrito (or like an avocado).

• Put on some soothing music that isn't too loud but not too soft either—the perfect volume will be something between "aquarium" and "heartbeat."

If all else fails, try making a new friend. Babies love new friends! If you don't have any friends who are willing to come over right away (or if they're too busy with their own lives), just go outside and talk to your neighbors. They'll probably appreciate the company, especially if they have babies of their own.

The swaddle prevents uneven head shape from laying down

The swaddle prevents flat head syndrome.

When your baby is laying down, their head is held by the mattress and can start to flatten out. This can be problematic as it can affect brain development, which affects body movement and function in life. By keeping your baby’s head upright when they sleep, you reduce the risk of this happening and prevent a lifetime of complications for them. The swaddling will also help prevent them from rolling over onto their tummy or back while asleep, as well as keep them from being able to break free from their swaddle (which would result in them waking up).

Swaddling is good for calming your baby and for helping them sleep through the night

You might be wondering why you should swaddle your baby. After all, it looks like a straight jacket to me. Well, swaddling can help calm your baby down, which is especially important if they haven't had a full feeding yet or need changing. It also helps prevent uneven head shape from laying down and keeps them warm (this one might not seem so important when it's hot outside). But most importantly, swaddling helps keep your little one sleeping throughout the night without waking up every few hours to eat or pee—and that's what we all want!

So how do you do it? First off, make sure you have enough blankets on hand for this process: two will do fine for most babies and their parents; three would be ideal if you're planning on doing this more than once in one day or week (which I recommend). You'll want a flat surface where you'll place yourself next to them after wrapping them up tight—a bed works great since there's already plenty of room there—and then hold onto either end of the blanket with both hands while gently pulling upwards until both ends meet somewhere over chest level (but not too high). This will give them plenty enough room underneath but still keep them covered up nice and snugly all around their body except for their little face peeking through at us as we look down upon him/her

Conclusion

We hope this article has helped answer your questions about swaddling and whether or not it's the right choice for you. In conclusion, we think that swaddling can be great for your baby if done properly. It helps them stay warm, sleep better and even calm down when they're feeling anxious. The best thing is that babies will adjust to being unswaddled at some point so if you want to stop using a swaddle then there's no need to worry about it causing any harm later on in life!
