What is swaddling?
The transition from womb to world is undoubtedly, well, a lot. There’s light, sound, smell, but also a newfound ability to move about. After all, the previous habitat didn’t allow for much movement (despite the feeling they could literally punch your throat and bladder at the same time). For some babies, that freedom can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. By wrapping them up snug with their arms and legs tucked into a swaddle, you can mimic that feeling of being safe inside mama.
Swaddling also helps reduce the moro reflex–the adorable but somewhat heartbreaking startles–which can wake them up from a sound sleep for no apparent reason in those early weeks and months. And since blankets aren’t an option for the first year, swaddles can safely keep them warm and comfortable.

Classic Muslin Swaddles (4-Pack)
There’s a good reason these top-rated swaddles have been a parenting staple for over 16 years. Basically, the muslin swaddle blankets from Aden + Anais are the Swiss army knife of parenting. They’re lightweight and versatile and come in handy far beyond simply swaddling your baby. They make perfect burp cloths and nursing covers, play time blankets or even to block the sun from the stroller on afternoon adventures.
When it comes to swaddling, they do require a bit of practice to get the technique down as there’s no velcro or clips to help keep it in place. On the bright side, that does allow you to create a wrap that best suits your little one’s needs. The softness gets better with every wash and there are a ton of gorgeous prints to choose from!
