Swaddling is one of those great things that we learn when we are still in the hospital with our babies and we'll continue doing as long as it works. Swaddling helps both mom and baby get more rest, it helps baby feel safe and secure, keeps baby warm, and may even help when a baby is suffering from colic. Swaddling is an art form, and it's been used for so long because it works with more babies than not. So, when do you have to give it up? Is there a time when you should stop swaddling your child?
