Keep Your Little One Warm With Swaddles and Sleeping Bags

Swaddle And Sleeping Bag - What’s The Difference?

A blanket that keeps your baby all wrapped up, swaddles are designed to mimic the comfort of being in the womb, making the transition easier for your newborn. If you just became a new parent, you may be starting to familiarise yourself with the reasons why your newborn cries. Sometimes, it could simply be that he misses your presence. A swaddle imitates the womb, giving off a mother’s touch to reassure your baby. Being swaddled retains that cocoon-like feeling, encouraging more peaceful sleep.

As compared to a swaddle, a sleeping bag has holes for the arms and legs, allowing your newborn to move his arms and legs. However, if you are concerned that he might be awakened by his own flailing arms and legs, swaddling helps to prevent startle reflex without restricting their lower body, ensuring hips and legs have enough room to move naturally.

After being in your womb for 9 months, your newborn may naturally cry a lot at the early stages as he is adjusting to this new environment. Putting him in either a swaddle or sleeping bag will help your newborn feel secure in unfamiliar surroundings. Additionally, it can be unavoidable at times that your newborn wakes up in the middle of the night. Both a swaddle and sleeping bag comes in useful in soothing your baby, providing extra warmth to get him back to sleep.
