Which swaddling blanket to choose?

There are different types of swaddling blankets: simple or specially designed to wrap your baby comfortably in warmth. Which one should you choose?

  • Traditional swaddling blankets are small, soft, square-shaped textiles that wrap around your baby and are easy to tie.
  • The more designer versions are designed to make the process easier, often with a pocket in which you can place your little one and fasten with clips.
  • You can also opt for a mini sleeping bag, which you can zip up after placing your child in it.

I don't have any idea or clue what contractions feel like.... (FTM) I would know when it happens right? Also, do I pack fuzzy blanket for the baby or just swaddling cloth (have 0 knowledge how to swaddle)

Nurses will show you how to swaddle baby just ask😉 Bad period cramps/tightening. As you become in active labor they become tense to the point you can't ignore them. The rule for needing to go to labor and delivery is water broke or 5-1-1 (contractions every 5 minutes lasting 1 minute for at least 1 hour)

Mine did. He was 4 weeks early tho. Had a bunch of fluid stuck in him. I monitor his temp at home and since we have been home (2 weeks now) his normal is 98.4.

I got a bunch of these and they make it much easier I think. I could swaddle with the blankets but she wouldn’t stay in them very long. https://a.co/d/cuoidXb

Since I left the hospital I don’t think my son likes his arms swaddled inside the blanket 🤦🏾‍♀️🥴😆.. It’s like he be fighting the blanket and grunting until his hands come out! Lol. And he’s growing so fast! He gained 9 oz in 4 days!🥳Momma baby boy growing fast!

My daughter was the same way. Fought until her hands were near her face and out and she was good. It’s how we ended up with a Love to Dream sleep sack. She sleeps so well with it

A baby feels more secure and it’s like a comfort thing because there in you for nine months. I work at a daycare/preschool and in our infant room when we swat all the babies it makes a heckuva difference and I swaddled both of my daughters until they can roll over and then I made sure their arms were out so they can roll her self back over
