3 different ways to swaddle to suit your babe! Now most parents are only taught how to swaddle arms down to help prevent the startle reflex (which is a protective reflex) Some love it and some hate it! So do what works and here are some options ✨swaddle arms down ✨swaddle with arms to the centre ✨swaddle with arms out Start with a large swaddle blanket folded into a triangle. I prefer a nice stretchy wrap for this one. Your swaddle can be snug across their chest BUT must be loose around their hips. And once they start rolling you will either need to swaddle with arms out or stop swaddling all together. Let me know if you have any questions. #swaddlebaby #newborn #newborntips #breastfeedinghelp
