*** About Swaddling: Swaddling is a practice that involves wrapping infants in blankets or cloths so that movement of the limbs is tightly restricted. Historically rooted in many cultures worldwide, this technique is believed to provide newborns with a womb-like environment that promotes sleep and reduces anxiety. Recent studies highlight its benefits in promoting longer, safer sleep periods as it prevents sudden movements that might wake the baby. However, it is essential to swaddle appropriately to avoid any risks such as overheating or too tight wrapping that can lead to developmental concerns, especially concerning the hips. As depicted in the artwork, swaddling is often associated with nurturing and protection, highlighting its emotional as well as practical significance in early childhood care.
