How to swaddle newborns?

Any future mother during the entire pregnancy period is tormented by one question: "How do I understand what my kid needs exactly?" At mums and grandmothers on it one answer: the maternal heart will prompt. The heart is definitely in the heart, but there are a few purely technical details that it is advisable to master before giving birth.

For example, how to swaddle a newborn? Your baby pediatrician swallows in his ancestral room. But after a while you will be given a baby, and you will do everything yourself - starting with feeding and ending with swaddling. Of course, the nurse must come to the ward and tell in detail and show how to swaddle the newborns correctly. You can train as much as you like on dolls, but the first time you can wrap a living child only units.

Everybody chooses the changing technique. Previously, there was only one method - a tight swaddling. The child was wrapped up so that it was often difficult for him to breathe. This mockery was explained simply - the kid will not be afraid of his own limbs (which he is still chaotic swinging) and he will have perfectly even legs. Fortunately, leading pediatricians were able to refute this crazy statement and, moreover, proved that it is very harmful for a baby. The child's breathing processes are disrupted, blood circulation is impeded, which leads to inhibition of development.

After that the question arose anew: "So how to swaddle the newborns?" Experts have approved a new method - a free swaddling. The diaper gently envelops the baby's body, absolutely not hampering its movements. The child has a feeling that he is in the womb, and he sleeps much calmer. But then there was a counter question: "Why then do you have to swaddle, if you can put the child in the sliders and the vest?" After that, all the children's specialists in the world settled on one thing: mother should choose herself.

Indeed, how to swaddle newborns and whether it should be done at all, it's up to Mom. Consider only the following factors:

- The first two weeks of the baby can really get scared of its own pens and legs;

- all the baby's clothing should only be made from environmentally friendly materials, should not have any lightning and other rough clasps, the seams should be on the outside;

- Wash diapers or clothes best with children's laundry soap, very carefully rinse everything and then ideally iron. Ideally, all children's accessories must be boiled, regardless, diapers are, toys or dishes (including dishes made of silver);

- in the wardrobe of your baby, there must necessarily be pajamas with sewn sleeves or special mittens;

- from the third week of life, the child has a physiological need to pull his hands in his mouth, and if this is not possible he will be very much capricious;

- if you still swaddle, in no case do not put an oilcloth in the diaper - the baby may have diaper rash;

- if the room temperature allows - leave your baby naked for as long as possible. Air baths will allow the skin to breathe and the likelihood of encountering such an unpleasant phenomenon as sweating (or thermal deprivation) will decrease at times.

Many mothers choose swaddling, believing that tight diapers securely fix the chain with a cross. It's a delusion. If the baby is uncomfortable, it will bend so that it will still be freed from all the diapers. Therefore, if you have baptized your newborn child, hang a cross on a short rope. Some, in an effort to show their own well-being, hang whole necklaces of silver or gold on the neck of the baby, not realizing that at best it can cause the strongest skin irritation.
