What is Swaddling?
Swaddling is an age old art of snugly wrapping your baby in a blanket for warmth, comfort and feeling secure.
Why is Supine Swaddling Important?
- Reduces Risk of SIDS
- There is evidence that swaddled back sleeping infants have lower incidence of SIDS than unswaddled back sleeping infants as stated in the Journal of Pediatrics, December 2002
- When baby sleeps better on his back, parents are less likely to use the unsafe tummy position for sleep
- Swaddling helps sleeping infants remain on their backs
Swaddled Babies Sleep Better®
- A Washington University study proved that infants sleep better when swaddled
- Swaddled babies have fewer awakenings and twice as much REM sleep
- REM sleep is believed to be important for brain development
- When babies sleep better and longer, parents get more sleep, too
Reduces Colic and Fussiness
- Snug swaddling soothes babies by reminding them of being in the womb
- Swaddling helps prevent over stimulation
- Swaddling helps to contain baby's own jerky movements that can startle him or her awake
- Baby is able to self-comfort by sucking on fingers or hand if swaddled with hands near face – the normal infant has been observed post delivery to bring hands to face within 30 minutes
- Infants are inefficient at regulating their own temperature. Swaddling helps to keep infants comfortably warm when parents choose the appropriate swaddle blanket. SwaddleDesigns® offers cotton flannel Ultimate Swaddle Blankets for cooler to moderate environments and cotton open weave Marquisette Swaddling Blankets for warmer climates.
Can Help Make Breastfeeding Easier
- Baby’s extra movements are nicely contained when swaddled which can help baby focus and latch-on.
- Tuck baby’s hands into the swaddle to keep baby’s hands from impairing latch-on. Once baby has successfully latched on and is feeding well, the swaddle may be removed, so baby and mom can be tummy to tummy, skin to skin.
SwaddleDesigns soft muslin swaddles are made from high quality cotton and get softer with every wash. They feature prints and patterns sure to delight. Single muslins make it fun to choose your favorite prints and make gift giving easy because the singles come in a lovely gift box.

My Review:
I really love SwaddleDesigns Muslin Swaddle Blankets! I have hosted a few reviews and giveaways for their blankets on my site. I love the quality, softness and cute designs. Seems like the more I was them, the softer they get. I loved when my girls were babies, that I could look on the blanket's label or on the SwaddleDesigns website to learn how to swaddle my babies. It only took me a few tries and I had it down pat!
SwaddleDesigns Muslin blankets are great for swaddling babies, carseat blankets to cover your babies in the spring, summer and fall months, they make great nursing covers, light weight blankets for older babies and toddlers in the summer months, stroller blankets, baby doll blankets, baby doll slings for baby dolls, picnic blankets for my girls inside our home, and more! They seem to find new uses for all sorts of things in our home. Blankets also help to make forts inside our home when we can't play outdoors, which is often here in Tennessee. SwaddleDesigns Muslin blankets are so versatile that you will find more and more ways to use them while your babies are small, and as they grow up too! I can't seem to give mine away.
