Frequently Asked Questions About Swaddle Blankets
Below, we've addressed some common questions about swaddle blankets. If you'd like additional information, please get in touch.
When Should Newborns Be Swaddled?
Swaddling is typically introduced right after birth, often starting in the hospital. It's a comforting practice that mimics the snug environment of the womb, helping to calm and soothe your newborn. The initial months after birth, frequently called the "fourth trimester," are crucial for your baby's adjustment to the world outside the womb. Your baby can be swaddled from 12-20 hours each day, but after a month, it's best to only swaddle for sleeping.
What's the Difference Between a Receiving Blanket and a Newborn Swaddle?
A receiving blanket and a newborn swaddle are essentially the same thing. Only the name has changed – both are soft, thin blankets used for swaddling, nursing and cuddling with your baby. Baby Blankets are part of your nursery bedding essentials.
What's the Best Way to Wash a Swaddle Blanket?
To ensure your swaddle blanket stays soft and durable, it's essential to wash it properly. Start by machine washing swaddle blankets in cold water. Cold water is gentle on the blanket's fabric and helps preserve its texture and color. Use a mild, gentle detergent, preferably one that's free from harsh chemicals or strong fragrances, to protect your baby's sensitive skin. If air drying isn't feasible, use a dryer on the low heat setting. (High heat can cause shrinking.) Avoid using fabric softeners or dryer sheets – they may leave a residue on the blankets that can irritate your baby's skin.
