Having spent 9 months in their mother’s womb, it’s normal for newborn babies to seek out a womb-like haven to sleep in. They crave that warm and caring environment where they feel safe and well supported. Now you can give your babies this experience by wrapping them in a soft cotton blanket. This process is simply known as diapering. Swaddling, which is an ancient practice, has been shown to be beneficial for newborn babies. This is why.
#1 Sleep well.
It is recommended that babies get enough sleep, which is 8 hours. But of course, the longer the better. Sleeping more than 8 hours a day ensures the maximum physical and mental development of your newborn. Studies have shown that babies who are swaddled experience long, deep sleep. They do not have unnecessary waking moments due to the startle reflex. As you know, newborns are very sensitive to noise and are not used to having a large space to move, so you see them scared for no apparent reason. Diapers prevent or minimize the startle reflex in babies.
#2 Be easy.
Because swaddling gives them that warm, safe, and secure feeling, babies are less likely to be anxious and therefore calmer or more well-behaved. They feel that peace and comfort that the diaper gives. It is rare for them to cry, so parents, babysitters, or babysitters are less stressed when caring for them. They will grow up as peace-loving people and are better at handling complicated situations.
#3 Less demanding.
Babies can actually be picky if you go along with their wishes. For example, give them comforting items like pillows and stuffed toys to stop them from crying. This, in turn, makes them demanding people growing up. While they are still babies, instill satisfaction in them through diapers. With diapers, your babies won’t be looking for those comfort items so they can grow up happy and independent.
#4 Avoid self-harm.
Newborns like to touch anything around them. They like to practice their different senses, such as touching, holding and even chewing, so it is very important that they stay in a safe corner of the house. Now, if you just put him in a crib, stroller, or crib, obviously his two hands are free to do whatever they want, including scratching his face and eyes or hitting his nose and mouth, which may make him cry loudly or feel irritable Diapers can help you avoid all of these adverse movements.
#5 Great posture.
Your babies sleeping position can affect their posture. If they sleep on their side, they can develop a hump as they grow. This position can restrict your breathing, which can be very dangerous. To avoid these scenarios, try wrapping it. This practice can help your babies lie on their backs while they sleep so they can breathe properly and grow with good posture. You can also put your hands on the heart while it is wrapped so that it learns to calm itself.
