CHILDRENSALON'S GUIDE TO . . .

Swaddling your Baby in Style

There’s a reason that parents have been swaddling their babies for thousands of years. Not only can it help to soothe and comfort your newborn, but it can also encourage them to sleep for longer too — you have our attention! 

Here at Childrensalon, we have a wide range of organic cotton muslins and soft stretchy blankets that are perfect for swaddling and keeping babies snug as a bug, and we've pulled together some of our favourites just for you. Plus, to take the mystery out of this ancient art, read on for a step-by-step guide to swaddling your baby, with a helping hand from our friends at aden + anais — it's easier than it looks, we promise!

Step 1.

We recommend swaddling with a muslin blanket. We love aden + anais' cotton-soft styles that are lightweight and breathable. Get it out and fold the swaddle into a triangle by folding back one corner. Place your baby in the centre with the shoulders just below the folded corner.

Step 2.

Place your baby’s right arm alongside the body, slightly bent. Take the same side of the swaddle and pull it securely across your baby’s chest, keeping the right arm under the fabric. Tuck the edge of the swaddle under the body, leaving the left arm free.

Step 3.

Fold the bottom corner of the swaddle up and over your baby’s feet, tucking the fabric into the top of the swaddle by their shoulder.

Step 4.

Place your baby’s left arm alongside the body, slightly bent. Take the same side of the swaddle and pull it securely across your baby’s chest, keeping the left arm under the fabric. Tuck this side of the swaddle underneath your baby.

 

And there you have it! One happy, snuggled-up baby who's ready for a restful slumber, giving you a moment of calm for yourself.
