A guide to properly swaddling your baby

Swaddling your baby may be an intimidating task, especially for first-time parents. Fret not, in this article, we will talk about why you should start doing this and how you can get started.


It is no myth; swaddling may be an effective way to send your babies to the land of dreams. As you already know, newborns are sensitive to this new world they are living in. We need to protect them from daily noise to ensure optimal sleep. As they cope with this new environment, it’s crucial to mimic a womb-like atmosphere, to keep them comfortable. This is where swaddling comes in handy – to make their space optimal for sleeping. Baby gets some sleep, and you can get yours too!


Got excited? Begin by acquiring a Swaddle Blanket made from Muslin cloth to guarantee a soft and breathable fabric to tuck your baby in. 


With aden + anais and Burt's Bees Baby’s Muslin Swaddle Blankets, your baby gets 100% cotton Muslin, ensuring gentle care that allows them to breathe, especially during the hot summer months in the Philippines. They come in multiple designs and bundles, so you can continue to swaddle even between washes. 

Create an inverted triangle with it by folding the top section. Lay your baby on it and cross their arm on their chest along with the fabric. Tuck the fabric under your baby’s underarm, leaving the other arm free. Repeat the same process to tuck the other arm. Ensure that all extra fabric is under your baby to secure the swaddle. 


Swaddling is safest for newborns before they start rolling over.
