The practice of Swaddling has been famous over centuries. It is beneficial for various reasons such as help in calming the baby, putting them to sleep easier and faster, and sleeping longer.

Dr. Gaurav Nigam also said that if Swaddling is not done correctly, it may increase the chance of hip dysplasia. Parents must choose the correct fabric for swaddling as Swaddling aims to make the baby feel safe, not warm.
