Swaddles and wraps can be helpful tools to have on-hand for those early weeks of your baby's life. While some babies love to stretch out their body and enjoy their new space while they sleep, others feel safer with some gentle wrapping around their arms and body. Every baby is different, but having a swaddle or wrap around enables you to experiment with your baby to figure out how to gently support their transition to their new big world.
Although similar, swaddles and wraps are slightly different. A swaddle is a structured wrap which is pre-shaped for your baby's body and typically has wings or bands which wrap around your baby and do up. A swaddle bag is a type of tight sleeping bag into which your baby can be zipped. The full-body, enclosed 'sac' gives the swaddling effect without manual wrapping needed – just place your baby into the swaddle and do them up.
A wrap is slightly different. It is a large piece of lightweight fabric that can be folded and tucked firmly around your baby to create a swaddling effect. Wraps allow parents to determine how much pressure is needed for their little one – you can make it as loose or as tight as needed, great if you have babies with different sleep needs. They are also very versatile - you can use them for swaddling or as burp cloths, or to pop on the floor for tummy time.
