Many of us have had the experience as parents of struggling to soothe a colicky or fussy baby. You’ve tried walking, bouncing, rocking and everything else you can think of but nothing seems to work consistently. And most parents will admit that few things make us feel more helpless than listening to our baby cry!
Our Soothing Blanket is specifically designed for swaddling – a technique which wraps the infant up snugly, but safely, and simulates the feeling of being in the womb. This feeling of security and warmth has a calming effect on the baby. Experts also recommend gently bouncing or rocking a swaddled infant in order complete the womb-like experience since the bouncing feels like mom walking during pregnancy.
Experts Recommend Swaddling
The technique of swaddling has taken on a renewed interest after the recent books and CDs released by Dr. Harvey Karp, “The Happiest Baby in the World.” In his books Dr. Karp talks about the advantages of learning to soothe your infant including getting an extra 1-2 hours of sleep per night. Dr. Karp advises parents to think of their newborn as being in their “4th trimester” when they need rocking, holding and nurturing while they learn to develop motor skills and senses. Dr. Karp also believes that swaddling may help reduce instances of SIDS since it encourages longer sleep, prevents baby from rolling onto their tummies and also discourages bed sharing with parents.
Learn How to Swaddle Your Baby
Properly swaddling your baby is a little more involved than simply wrapping them up tightly. Our Soothing Blanket comes with an Instructional DVD featuring the proper technique for swaddling your infant as well as a video demonstration. The DVD also features other soothing techniques that can be used together with swaddling so parents can find a method that works for them, as well as 30 minutes of “white noise” which can be used to help at naptime or bedtime.
