🌱Environmental considerations
🐰 Before all this, the swaddle was used for generations to swaddle the baby's bottom until the arrival of disposable nappies.
But now, for ecological reasons, swaddle are once again being used as cloth nappies and also for swaddling babies.
What is swaddling ?
💤 It involves wrapping baby in a swaddling cloth more or less tightly around his body in order to soothe the crying, to relieve colic and promote sleep.
❗Critics of this method will say that it violates the freedom of movement of babies. Others will point to the risk of hip dislocation.
In any case, swaddling should be reserved for sleep phases and should not be practiced beyond the baby's2-3 months.
➡️ Do not hesitate to ask your midwife to show you how to do it!
