Ma Maison continues to carry unique baby items and gifts, always on the lookout for what is best for your little one. One thing is for sure, swaddling infants is every new mom’s best friend. What is swaddling? It is the age old method of snugly wrapping your baby in a lightweight blanket for warmth and security. In the past few years many studies have been completed on the impact swaddling your infant may have on the babies’ health and experts agree swaddling is vital for many reasons:
1. Swaddled Babies Sleep Better
Swaddled babies have fewer awakenings and twice as much REM sleep. REM sleep is believed to be important for brain development.
2. Reduces Colic and Fussiness
Snug swaddling soothes babies by reminding them of being in the womb. It helps prevent over stimulation and Baby is able to self-soothe if swaddled with hands near face. Swaddling also helps to keep infants warm.
3. Can Help Make Breastfeeding Easier
Baby’s extra movements are nicely contained when swaddled, with the baby’s hands tucked into the swaddle it will help to keep hands from impairing latch-on.
At Ma Maison we carry a wide variety of proper swaddling blankets, which are oversized and lightweight for ease. We feature Swaddle Designs blankets which are the only swaddling blankets with instructions sewn to the edge of the blanket and they come in many interesting patterns. The natural give allows the blanket to be tucked snuggly around a baby without being overly restrictive and the lightweight muslin also permits air to circulate around the baby’s body.
Whichever swaddling blanket you choose to use, Ma Maison has the right fit for you and your baby bundle!
