They can be used for other things post-swaddling, like blankets and burp cloths, but there’s definitely a “how do you do this?” learning curve. Let’s face it; when you’re shopping for your little one, you want to feel confident that you’re purchasing products that will offer them the most comfort and protection possible.Type: Zip-up sleeping bag | Fabric: Cotton and spandex | Size: Premie, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months What we love

Arms Up Swaddle to Your Baby Registry Should You Add an Arms Up Swaddle to Your Baby Registry

Hug your baby first. The first step to calming a fussy baby is to give them a cozy hug. That’s exactly what swaddling does...and it's the best way to begin before you lay your little one atop a swaddling blanket! Yes! Some babies would rather have their arms free or near their faces. We all have our personalities and quirks, and that goes for babies too. So if you’ve been swaddling correctly or your baby is getting bigger and seems to be less than thrilled about swaddling now, try to swaddle with arms up and see how that goes. When should I swaddle with arms out? As soon as your baby starts rolling, it’s time to stop swaddling. Dr. Murray says rolling can start as early as around 4 weeks of age. “You want to make sure your baby has their arms out at the first sign that they might be interested in rolling,” she says. “Plus, as they become more aware of their hands, having their hands out can be interesting to them.” Millions of swaddle blankets are sold to parents all around the world every year, but that doesn't mean that everybody knows the best way to use them. If you're swaddling your baby, you need to know the proper techniques, or you might face problems like making your baby uncomfortable during sleep or even some associated health and safety risks.

This first DOWN is the key to successful swaddling! Do it snugly...or the whole swaddle can unravel!

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, you should stop swaddling your baby as soon as they show any signs of trying to roll over. This can happen anywhere from about two months of age onward, but be sure to follow your little one’s cues. Leave Enough Room for the Hips and Legs: Make sure the swaddle blanket is snug around your baby’s chest and arms, but leave enough room for their hips and legs to move freely. This is important for hip development. I have a load of these and love them. I’m on baby no. 4 now and the ones I bought for baby 1 are just as lovely as they were when new.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Isawthathaggis) Know your baby may cry.
