The womb is a very snug, warm, and cozy environment. Swaddling your baby helps him feel the security of being in the relaxed, safe, and comfortable place of the womb.
Newborns are born with reflexs. These are uncontrolled body movements. One reflex known as the startle reflex will cause your baby’s arms and legs to move when surprised, such as in response to a loud noise. This response can wake and upset a sleeping or calm infant. Being swaddled will help your baby’s body stay calm when exposed to sudden movement or unexpected noise that would typically set off the startle reflex.
You can easily learn to swaddle your baby by asking your hospital nurse to show you or by following instructions you find on line such as at, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x892kx_swaddling-demonstration-1_people
