American Academy of Pediatrics. (2016). American Academy of Pediatrics announces new safe sleep recommendations to protect against SIDS, sleep-related infant deaths [Press release]. If you're new to the concept, imagine a burrito with a baby poking out! ‘Baby swaddling is when you wrap your baby up tight in a light muslin or cotton sheet, so they feel snug and safe,’ says Nicole Ratcliffe, Family Sleep Coach at The Baby Show.

A traditional swaddle, a cot blanket and a cot cover rolled into one? The Aden + Anais Classic Swaddle is a winner in our book.

By doing this, we whittled our longlist down and chose a selection of products that we think offer something for everybody. Why you should trust us

If your baby is a few months old and still loves to be swaddled, you might find that they’re growing out of their swaddle blankets, or that they’re wriggling out and waking themselves up. Mumsnetters love the Woombie Air for its soft, cosy fabric, easy to use zip-up fastening, as well as their larger sizes. Never swaddle too tightly: 'Don’t use a blanket,' says Ratcliffe. 'Instead use a thin muslin cloth or a light cotton sheet and wrap loosely around the hips to avoid hip dysplasia.' The surface baby sleeps on matters, too. Place your baby in their own sleep space onto a firm surface. This may be a crib in your room, a bassinet, or, alternatively, a side-car sleeping device like the Arm’s Reach Co-sleeper. Designed with unique zip-off wings, the Ready-To-Roll transition swaddles are a gentle, safe way to transition from swaddling.Grab the (baby’s) right corner of the blanket and wrap it around the left side of their body, under the armpit. As we said, every baby is different and some may prefer to stretch out after only a few days or weeks, while others will enjoy the cosy feeling for longer. Experiment and see what works for your little one.
