Product Information

Never swaddle too tightly: 'Don’t use a blanket,' says Ratcliffe. 'Instead use a thin muslin cloth or a light cotton sheet and wrap loosely around the hips to avoid hip dysplasia.'

Mix it up: You should also give your baby lots of opportunity to explore out of the swaddle, 'so pop them down on the floor and let them move around,' says Ratcliffe. 'This will help with startle reflex and organising their voluntary movements as well.' Some parents swear by the soothing powers of a tightly fitted muslin during the early days. 'That deep pressure from the swaddle can make them feel safer as it replicates that tight feeling they get in the womb, so it helps with that transition from womb to world,' adds Ratcliffe.As we said, every baby is different and some may prefer to stretch out after only a few days or weeks, while others will enjoy the cosy feeling for longer. Experiment and see what works for your little one.

If it feels chilly, give them a cuddle and pop them into a long sleeved baby-grow. Whereas, if it feels a bit hot then remove one of their layers, suggests Ratcliffe. 'If they are swaddled they might have too much on underneath so loosen the swaddle,' a) Take time to experiment with the tightness of the wrap. Start with light pressure and adjust as required. Avoid co-sleeping: 'Never swaddle your baby when bed-sharing as they could overheat,' Ratcliffe warns. However, you should definitely stop swaddling the moment your baby shows signs of learning how to roll over, says Ratcliffe, 'with the aim of weaning off by 12 weeks,' she adds. How do you know if your baby is cold at night? As I damaged my knee over fifty years ago and have had several surgeries since so I feel more than qualified to review this product.Never swaddle above the shoulders: 'Do not swaddle a baby’s head,' advises Ratcliffe. 'And never put a hat on unless it’s been medically advised, as they could risk overheating which then becomes a sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk.' I have been using "Mueller Wonder Wrap for about two years now to support a damaged knee. Previously I had used a crepe tube bandage which gave limited support. Following that I used an all-in-one neoprene support which is very bulky and also restricts the air flow to the skin and becomes hot and uncomfortable. If you're new to the concept, imagine a burrito with a baby poking out! ‘Baby swaddling is when you wrap your baby up tight in a light muslin or cotton sheet, so they feel snug and safe,’ says Nicole Ratcliffe, Family Sleep Coach at The Baby Show. There are many reasons families like to swaddle their baby,' says Ratcliffe. 'Some are for cultural reasons. Others can be if the baby has a strong startle reflex, or if the baby is overtired or over-stimulated.'

However, it isn't for every baby, so don't be alarmed if your little one rejects swaddling in favour of stretching out. Every child is different when it comes to how they feel most comfortable. Baby swaddle safety advice Avoid layering: Do not add extra layers to baby swaddles. 'Blankets could cause overheating or suffocation should they pull them over their heads.'
