When a baby is born, they need extra care and protection from pollution. They have to be swaddled carefully so that they have a nice sleep and feel comfortable. Let me share tips on how safely you can wrap your baby.
First thing, make use of thin sheet which should be light in color while swaddling your baby. The bright color is pleasant to eyes.
Take care of few things like you should not swaddle his or her head. You should swaddle below the baby’s shoulders.
You should always place her to sleep on her back. Stop wrapping as soon as your baby shows signs of rolling over onto her side or tummy.
Swaddle right from birth. Don’t introduce swaddling when the risk of SIDS is most significant, at two to three months.
You want to swaddle your child, do it during her sleep time, i.e. day and night time. This practice will make your baby used to swaddle.
Your swaddle should not be too tight. It should be very light. You should give some space for the baby's hands and legs to move freely.
When you swaddle the baby, his or her body temperature changes, so keep in mind the fabric used should be soft and which maintains the body temperature. Muslin fabric is the best to the material to use to swaddle the baby. Overheating may increase the risk of SIDS. Check the back of her neck or her tummy with two fingers.
If you are leaving your baby in a crash, check that they should be trained how to swaddle the baby. Her safety is more important.
