baby sleeping in a swaddle

What you should know about swaddling according to the experts

We know how challenging those early days with a new baby can be. Swaddling can be a wonderful tool to help soothe your little one when they're startled by their natural reflexes - but remember, every baby is unique! If your baby seems content without swaddling, that's perfectly fine. Trust your instincts as a caregiver.

Your Guide to Safe and Nurturing Swaddling:

  • Create a calming routine by using swaddling during sleep times or fussy moments. With the Swaddelini, your baby can have safe movement even while swaddled for sleep. During awake time, give your little explorer plenty of free movement - it's essential for their development!
  • Keep those precious arms snug while giving hip and legs room to wiggle - this natural movement is important for healthy development.
  • Some babies love having access to their hands - and that's okay! Listen to what works best for your little one.
  • Choose breathable, lightweight fabrics like bamboo to keep your baby comfortable and cozy (not too warm!). If you are worried about heat, the Air Light Swaddelini is a perfect light swaddle for your baby.
  • Always keep the sleep sack safely below your baby's face - we know safety is your top priority.
  • Your baby should be able to breathe comfortably - ensure the swaddle allows their chest to rise and fall naturally. The gentle hug technology in the Swaddelini allows just that!
  • When your little one starts showing signs of rolling (typically between 2-6 months), it's time to transition to an Arms Out swaddle. Watch for signs like reaching for feet, rolling to the side, or face-turning when on their side. We're here to support you through this transition!

If you are looking for a safe sleep sack to swaddle your baby, look no further than the Swaddelini.
