How to Swaddle a Baby to Sleep
Swaddling is a simple and soothing way to help your baby feel calm, secure, and comfortable—especially during sleep. When done properly, swaddling can help reduce the startle reflex and encourage longer, more restful naps.
What You Need to Swaddle
All you need is a soft, breathable swaddle blanket, like lulujo’s soft muslin swaddles.
Lightweight muslin fabric can help regulate your baby’s temperature while keeping them cozy and comfortable.
Step-by-Step: How to Swaddle a Baby
-
Lay the blanket flat in a diamond shape and fold the top corner down slightly.
-
Place your baby on their back, with shoulders just below the folded edge.
-
Wrap one side snugly across your baby’s body and tuck it underneath.
-
Fold the bottom up, allowing room for natural leg movement.
Wrap the remaining side across and tuck securely—snug, but not tight
Your baby’s hips should move freely, and their chest should have enough room for comfortable breathing.
Tips to Consider:
-
Always place your baby on their back to sleep
-
Stop swaddling once your baby begins to roll over
-
Choose breathable fabrics to help prevent overheating
