Best ways to use a swaddle blanket

Swaddling is a common practice that involves gently covering a baby in a light, permeable blanket to help them relax and sleep. Only their bodies should be wrapped, not their necks or heads. The idea is that swaddling your baby would make them feel safe and comfortable, similar to how they felt in the womb. Many parents and experts disagree with this idea.

However, swaddles are always useful and there are so many ways to be used other than swaddling!

Swaddles can be used as a burp cloth. The breathable, soft fabric keeps your little one comfortable when at dame time clothes are protected from spills and spit ups.

^{Tip: About halfway through feeding, position your baby on your shoulder, face-down on your lap or sitting up. Give her a gentle pat or rub on the left side of her back, which is where your little one’s stomach is located. This may get the burp up for most babies.} 

Cotton and bamboo swaddles can be used as a changing mat. They are durable, soft, breathable and their compact size is easy to carry along while traveling. Swaddles are the ideal cover for changing tables at you house, a friend’s, a public restroom’s anywhere the baby needs it! They are so soft that can be used as a towel too.

Openly breastfeeding in public can take a little getting used to. There are a few tips to help make it a stress-free experience for both you and your baby. Some mums like to use swaddles as a nursing cover for privacy when feeding their babies in public. Cotton or bamboo swaddles are super breathable and light preventing baby and mother from overheating while nursing, creating a private comfortable space for on-the-go feedings.
