The popular grobag® swaddling wrap that is designed to make swaddling simple, now has a 100% Organic cotton version. It is perfect for all babies who aren't big enough to go into baby sleeping bag or those who prefer the secure feeling of being swaddled for the first few weeks.
Swaddling is the age old practice of snugly wrapping a blanket around a baby to help calm, soothe and comfort them and encourage sleep. It works by mimicking the conditions in the womb, providing warmth and a slight resistance to movement. Swaddling is clinically proven to help babies remain asleep safely on their backs, while also reducing the effect of the moro reflex, which is the tendency for newborns to startle themselves awake by suddenly moving their arms. It can also help ease the discomfort of colic in the early weeks. All of which mean peace of mind and a better nights sleep for you. Swaddling is a recommended by Midwives.
How to swaddle your baby
To get the most benefit out of your grobag® Organic swaddling, make sure that you swaddle tightly enough for your baby to feel secure, but not too tight to be constrictive. To check that you have not swaddled your baby too tightly, ensure that you can slide your fingers down the top of the wrap.
