How to swaddle a baby
-
Lay a blanket flat on the floor in a diamond shape - so the corners are at the top, bottom and sides.
-
Fold the top corner down towards you, about 6 inches. Lay your baby face up with their head over the folded corner.
-
Wrap the right corner over your baby and tuck it underneath them.
-
Bring the bottom corner up and over their feet.
-
Wrap the left corner over your baby and tuck it under them.
-
Ensure the blanket isn’t too tight or constrictive around your little one’s legs or hips, and ensure the lower body can still move around.
Why do you swaddle a baby?
There are many benefits to swaddling your baby. It helps provide comfort and security by replicating the warm, snug environment of the womb. It also helps establish a routine by signalling your baby that it's time for sleep. Lots of babies love being swaddled, but not all of them will like it - and that’s okay! If your little one is restless and fussy when swaddled, they probably don’t like the feeling, which could lead to disrupted nights for everyone.
You must stop swaddling when your baby becomes more active and starts rolling over.
