Do you know how you position your baby's arm when swaddling matters to his/her development? Parents and caregivers are routinely advised to swaddle newborns. Swaddling infants inhibits the Moro reflex, which allows them to sleep better. Although the practice has many benefits, certain swaddling methods are better than others.
Health and development professionals recommend swaddling with your baby’s arms on top of his or her chest. They suggest positioning your child’s arms so the hands meet at the body’s midline. This method has advantages over swaddling with your child’s arms straight down at the sides.
Keeping the arms close feels cozy and natural, and babies who feel comfortable sleep better. What’s more, this method of swaddling has several health and wellness benefits for your child.
