Are baby swaddles safe for newborns?

All the swaddles on CREOATE are designed to be safe for newborns, featuring breathable fabrics that help regulate baby's temperature and reduce the risk of overheating. As for medical opinion on whether swaddling is good or bad, opinion is divided. So, if your customers are considering swaddling, make sure they’re aware of safe swaddling guidelines to protect their little ones. As with anything, swaddling can carry some risks. It is potentially unsafe if the baby is not swaddled properly, for example if they are wrapped in too many blankets, in covers that are too heavy or thick, or if they’re wrapped too tightly. As with all baby sleep practices, it’s important to ensure you’re using the correct and safe technique when swaddling to avoid any risks.

What are the benefits of swaddling a baby?

Swaddling is thought to recreate the secure feeling newborns feel in the womb. As a longstanding practice across many countries and cultures, it is believed to help little ones transition comfortably into their fourth trimester. Many parents claim swaddling seems to help calm their little one, helping them settle more easily and sleep for longer. Swaddling is also thought to prevent unnecessary wake-ups caused by a baby’s startle reflex, and prevents babies from scratching their face and irritating their skin during the night.

How do I care for the baby swaddles?

Each swaddle should come with care instructions to help your customers make the most of them, and keep them soft and cosy. Generally, most swaddles are machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low setting, so you can clean and reuse them with ease. Always check the specific care label for best results, and contact sellers directly with any care questions.
