Swaddling 101: Everything A New Mom Needs To Know

When a sheet is wrapped snuggly around your babys body, it can resemble the mothers womb and help soothe your newborn baby. This ancient art of cocooning the baby in the swaddle sheet makes her feel secure and warm. Lay your baby face up on the sheet with her neck resting against the fold so that her head is overlapping the top edge you turned down. Using muslin material or a cotton sheet rather than a blanket is better when swaddling your baby.
