Swaddling: the secret to soothing and comforting your baby

(in collaboration with the Swiss brand Tilouco )

Swaddling is an age-old practice that is regaining its place in the lives of young parents.
This gentle method involves wrapping the baby in a cloth or a sleeping bag to offer a feeling of security and comfort , similar to that which he felt in the womb.

Although it may seem outdated, swaddling is now being reinvented in modern, comfortable and safe versions , such as Tilouco swaddling sleeping bags, specially designed for the well-being of newborns.

🌸 An ancient tradition, revisited with tenderness

Swaddling has existed for centuries, practiced in many cultures around the world.
In the past, it was used to keep babies warm and safe , by limiting sudden movements.

Today, this practice is making a comeback in a caring and physiological approach , which respects the morphology and needs of each child.

🤍 Why swaddle your baby?

The arrival of a newborn is a great joy, but also a period of adjustment. Swaddling can become a valuable tool for parents, thanks to its many benefits:

🌿 The benefits of swaddling

• Feeling of security : replicates the softness of the womb and soothes crying related to insecurity.

• More peaceful sleep : limits the Moro reflex (involuntary startles) and helps baby sleep longer.

• Colic relief : reduces restlessness and promotes relaxation of the stomach.

• Facilitates breastfeeding : reduces unwanted movements and improves positioning.

• Stable temperature : helps maintain a constant body temperature, without overheating.

Swaddling, when done correctly, becomes a true cocoon of serenity for the baby… and for the parents.

🌼 When and how to swaddle your baby?

🕊 From birth, in all simplicity

You can swaddle your baby from the first few days up to about 3 months .
It is best to stop as soon as he starts to want to turn around, to avoid any hindrance to his movements.

Swaddling can be used:

• at night, to promote calmer sleep,

• during naps,

• or in moments of great need for comfort.

⚠️ Essential precautions

• Always swaddle baby on their back , never on their stomach.

• Do not tighten too much : baby must be able to move their legs freely.

• Check the temperature : adapt your clothing according to the season.

• If your baby is crying, first make sure that he or she is not hungry, too hot, too cold or needs a diaper change.

At Tilouco, each sleeping bag is designed to combine comfort, safety and freedom of movement .

💛 What if my baby doesn't like being swaddled?

Every baby is unique. Some love the feeling of being contained, others prefer freedom.
Never force it: you can try other soothing techniques such as rocking, skin-to-skin contact, lullabies or white noise.

The most important thing is to observe and listen to your child's needs . Your instinct remains your best guide.
