Why and How to Swaddle a Baby

An effective way to give your baby a sense of security whilst they sleep on their back is by swaddling. With what we currently know of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), it is considered safer to have young babies sleep on their back rather than on their tummy. Sleeping on their tummy gives babies a sense of security and safety, but as they are safer sleeping on their back it is important to ensure that babies feel just as snug and secure on their back as they would on their tummy.
