Things To Be Kept In Mind

  • Seek the permission of the doctor, before swaddling your baby. Do not take the decision on your own.
  • Swaddling should be restricted to the initial few weeks of birth, as it may restrict a baby’s growth, if carried later on as well.
  • You should remember not to swaddle the baby in a warm room, as it will overheat the baby and increase the risk of SIDS.
  • You can even embrace your baby in a sling-type carrier, as it helps him/ her feel secure and safe.
  • It your baby is resistant to being swaddled, do not force him/ her for the same.
