A nice, attractive solution to the old “swaddle wrap” for newborn babies!
Victoria O’Neil from PA created these new wraps for baby.
Here’s the scoop on baby swaddling …
newborns love it, it’s secure and reminds them of being snug in mom’s belly
it can calm a crying or fussy baby
it’s temporary – they will grow out of this in a few months and they’ll be too big to swaddle, or wiggle out of it
great for the first month or so of life
there is a debate if baby’s arms should be out to move freely, or tucked inside the swaddle. One of the issues is overheating baby when wrapped upin a wrap with clothes, het, etc. Overheating may be a link to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
I think the 21st Century is all about new intelligence and correcting misled information from the past.
For example, we now know that having a home birth is safe. Midwives are safe. Research has proved quantum physics is real and new research has documented the power of our thoughts and its mind/body connection.
What we are discovering now is the importance of skin-to-skin contact between mothers and their babies. What’s amazing about this is mothers have always known this! But because the American culture since this country began, influenced by England back in the day, we developed some ignorant ways of living that were “culturally” accepted – simply because we didn’t know any better. We are less primitive, more culturally mature in many ways these days.
It is emerging that skin-to-skin contact is necessary for healthy neurological growth in newborns, and throughout their early months of life.
It has been shown that Skin to Skin Contact (SSC)with newborns:
enrich sensory abilities
affects sleep patterns (better sleep quality)
increases right brain development
increases neuro-synapse development in brain
better breast feeding
For mothers just giving birth it is recommended that the newborn stay skin-to-skin for an hour within the first 3 hours of birth. For premature births it is even more important to have babies skin -to -skin.
There is something to be said for attachment parenting – sharing the parent’s bed with their children. Now is a good time to start looking into this if you are a new mom.
The New Bag Company has created a very nice, BPA free breestfeeding storage bag. I have seen them and they look not only “smart” design wise, but are a major problem solver for you nursing moms.
