Gently wrapping your newborn up in a swaddle can help him feel more secure and aid sleep. We show you how to do it safely
Your baby was kept all snug and cosy while in your womb, so it’s no surprise that they'll enjoy that same feeling once born.
‘Wrapping your baby in a swaddle mimics the feeling of security he felt when in the womb and can really help when settling a new baby,’ says baby consultant Alison Scott-Wright. ‘However, even in the womb, babies can move and turn so it's important that the swaddle isn’t too tight or restrictive as this could cause problems within the hip joints.’The best material to use for a swaddle is 100% jersey cotton as the natural elasticity in this material allows your baby to move, flex and stretch.
