Swaddling can be a very beneficial component of newborn sleep. It:
- Calms the baby, mimicking the cosy, confined feeling of being in the womb
- Prevents the moro (startle reflex) from disrupting sleep
- Regulates the temperature, without the need for loose blankets
It is important that swaddling is done safely, using breathable fabric with enough room around their hips/legs so they can easily flex and open. Get in touch if you're looking for some advice around swaddling for your newborn.

In the world of baby slumber, the intricate dance of neurotransmitters, tango of circadian rhythms, and the foxtrot of REM cycles govern the science behind your baby’s sleep. Having an understanding of your baby's sleep cycles will help you better anticipate wake-ups, create a conducive sleep environment, and support their needs appropriately.

My newborn sleep guide covers all of this and more. Get in touch if you are interested in learning more about the science behind your baby's sleep.
