Swaddling your baby every time they go to sleep sounds like hard work. Even mastering the art takes time, all that tucking and wrapping can be confusing. But let us assure you how rewarding this can be when compared to the midnight crying that almost caused your neighbor to file a noise complaint.<\/p>\n

1. Teaches Baby To Self-Soothe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine couping inside the womb for a good nine months, and suddenly you\u2019re forced into an unfamiliar environment which we refer to as the outside world. Scary, isn\u2019t it? So to help alleviate that anxiety, make them feel safe with swaddling wraps as they take one step at a time. They\u2019ll learn to self-soothe within time, and in turn, increases their sense of security.<\/p>\n

2. Better Sleep For Baby (& Mom)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relating this one to our previous point, babies get startled easily in an environment they don\u2019t know. Always keeping their guards up takes a toll on their sleep (and ours). Good thing swaddling solves the problem by restricting the baby\u2019s moment, preventing their Moro reflex (startle reflex) from waking them through the night.<\/p>\n

3. Prevents Baby From Scratching<\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing to keep in mind: babies scratch their faces, and it\u2019s a natural reaction to irritated, dry, or inflamed skin. We all know how this one goes down if the scratching doesn\u2019t stop\u200a\u2014\u200ablisters and redness which can be avoided with swaddling blankets. They keep the hands off of the face while letting the moisturizing creams kick in and do their job.<\/p>\n
