We’ve all been there—trying to soothe a fussy baby who just can’t seem to settle down. As parents, finding the perfect solution to keep our little ones calm and secure is a top priority. One common issue many of us face is how to help our newborns sleep peacefully through the night.
For many parents, swaddling is like magic—it helps soothe their little ones by mimicking the tight embrace of being held close. Ever wondered why trendy moms and dads swear by knit swaddle blankets? Here we’ll cover the benefits of this age-old practice plus other crucial items you'll want handy once the baby arrives.
Why Do Babies Love to Get Swaddled?
Generations of parents have turned to swaddling because it's great at soothing fussy infants. Babies love to be swaddled because it mimics the snug and secure environment of the womb.
Feeling secure allows them to stay calm and reduces the sudden movements that frequently wake them up during the night. When wrapped in a soft, breathable knit swaddle blanket, your baby can enjoy longer, more restful sleep periods. And we all know that a well-rested baby means well-rested parents!
Is Swaddling Important for Babies?
Absolutely! Wrapping newborns snugly in a swaddle brings lots of perks. It not only helps them sleep better but also can prevent them from scratching their delicate skin.
Using a snug wrap to hold your baby can make their sleeping environment safer and possibly lessen the likelihood of experiencing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). With our knit swaddle blankets, you can ensure your baby is swaddled in the highest quality materials, providing comfort and peace of mind.
How Many Swaddles Should a New Parent Have?
As a new parent, you might wonder how many swaddle blankets you need. Ideally, having a minimum of four knit swaddle blankets is recommended. This ensures you always have a clean one on hand while the others are in the wash.
Babies can be quite messy, so having a few extras can save you from those inevitable blowouts and spit-ups. Additionally, Little Unicorn offers a variety of muslin swaddle blankets that are perfect for multiple uses beyond swaddling, such as nursing covers or stroller blankets.
