Think of it like this: By swaddling your baby, you’re helping to create your baby’s missing fourth trimester. Infants are happiest-and sleep the best-when we “recreate” the womb with the 5 S’s during the first three to four months after delivery.

Swaddling is an integral part of my 5 S’s for soothing babies, which means swaddling is fantastic at helping to reduce fussing and boost sleep.

Knowing when-and how-to stop swaddling your baby is tricky! After all, you know swaddling is super effective for calming infants and helping them sleep better.so, who wants to change that?! But you also don’t want to do anything that may put your baby in harm’s way…which is what can happen if you continue to swaddle your baby for too long.
