Four Stages of Swaddling

Do you know the swaddle stages? Be sure your baby is comfortable and safe by learning more about the four stages of swaddling.

Is there anything lovelier than seeing a beautiful, new baby swaddled up so comfy? Perhaps it’s because my mind goes back to how much better my girls rested as newborns when they were swaddled or perhaps it’s because it seems like it’s been so long since my girls were ever that little!

It seems that swaddling babies is pretty common knowledge to parents these days. The nurses at the hospital taught us how to swaddle both of the girls and I know for a fact it helped them sleep so much better, especially in those first few weeks of life.

For that reason alone, I’m a huge promoter of swaddling which means if I get invited to a baby shower – you can about bet my gift will be some type of swaddle blankets!
