👉 Swaddling is a practice that involves wrapping the head of a newborn or infant in blankets, pillows, or other soft materials to soothe and comfort them during sleep. It is often used as a way to calm a baby who may be restless or distressed by waking up frequently during the night. The purpose of swaddling is to provide comfort and support for the baby's body and head, while also ensuring that they are warm and comfortable enough to sleep comfortably.
