Swaddling is oh so chic, even North West is doing it. So why did Kanye and Kim transform their baby into a mummy? Because North, like most newborns, loves the security of being wrapped up tightly, since it is similar to the environment the baby experienced prior to being born.
Swaddling is a traditional art parents used throughout history that has a ton of benefits. Comfort a fussy infant by wrapping her up in a bunting. The world is big to a tiny newborn, and overstimulation frequently can occur; limit the overwhelming atmosphere by introducing swaddling. It mimics a time she felt safe and secure.
Does your newborn ever startle itself awake? If so, swaddling will inhibit this response that is commonly exhibited as babies fall asleep. The pressure will keep baby's feet and hands still and help her fall asleep easier.
Another interesting aspect of swaddling, is that it provides added warmth which can keep baby cozy until its body is able to regulate its own temperature, which generally kicks into gear after a few weeks.
So, wrap up your little dumpling like a…. little dumpling, and enjoy the comfort it brings baby, because when baby is happy, everyone is. Just ask North.
