Is it right for a newborn baby to sleep wrapped up? Why?

My sister-in-law gave birth to a baby daughter a few days ago, and the whole family was very happy. I hope the baby will grow up healthily and rapidly. However, my sister-in-law called me yesterday and said that the baby was always restless and frightened in bed. I suggested that she wrap the baby in a towel. Newborn babies like the feeling of being tightly wrapped. Today, my sister-in-law sent a message saying that after packing the baby, she slept soundly and soundly than a few days ago.

Can the newborn sleep well wrapped up? Being a mother for the first time, I went to work directly without training and was anxious to take care of my baby. What bothers me most is that the baby always can't sleep well, and finally falls asleep and wakes up in less than half an hour. When the pediatrician's aunt came to visit me and my baby, I told her my troubles. Aunt suggested wrapping the baby in a towel, which could help the newborn baby sleep.

Why? Menstruation explained to me that the baby was completely bound and curled up in a very narrow place in the mother's stomach. When the baby is two or three months old, he can still swim in the amniotic fluid. After about four or five months, the baby began to grow up rapidly and the mother began to show signs of pregnancy. The space for the baby to move in the mother's stomach is getting smaller and smaller. By the last three months, it basically remained curled until it was born. So the baby is particularly familiar with and likes this feeling of being wrapped.

After listening to my aunt's advice, I wrapped my son up the next day. The little guy really became an angel. He doesn't need to be coaxed or shaken. When he was full and fell asleep, he twisted himself and slept more soundly.

So, how to wrap the newborn is right? These details need to be clarified. We older generation always wrap babies up. What they do is tie the baby's legs straight. The whole baby is tied like a stick, which is the so-called "candle bag". Parents should pay attention. This bag is absolutely not allowed, which is not conducive to the baby's growth and development.

The way we wrap the baby correctly is this: there is enough space in the lower part of the package, and the baby's legs naturally bend, showing the state of frog legs. But the hands are tightly fixed on both sides of the body. Be sure to wrap it tightly so that the baby's arm has no room for movement.

If there is no bag, you can also use a baby sleeping bag instead of a towel bag. The baby sleeping bag has the advantages of warmth, looseness and comfort, which can make the baby's limbs move freely.

What problems should I pay attention to when giving my baby a bag? Mothers often ask what problems should be paid attention to when giving a baby a bag, such as when to do it? How long will the parcel take? Why does the baby move around when wrapping? Is it uncomfortable? The following is a compilation of Ma Bao's frequently asked questions for your answers:

(1) Is it uncomfortable for the baby to twist around when wrapping?

When the baby is wrapping, it will twist. This is the baby testing the tightness of the package. If the baby's hand moves, it proves that the package is invalid, and the baby will be unhappy. So when the mother wraps the baby, she must wrap it tightly until her hands can't move.

(2) When should I pack my baby?

Baby-keeping is exquisite, and you can't do it all day. The correct way is to wrap the package only when sleeping. When the baby is awake to play or nurse, the mother must open the package so that the baby can fully move without hindering the baby's physical development. If you are breast-fed, it is easy to fall asleep after feeding, and it is easy to lack food, which is not conducive to the baby's growth and development.

(3) When is the best time for the baby to use the package?

Generally speaking, when the baby's shock reaction basically disappears, it takes about 4 months, and no dressing is needed. Of course, every baby's situation is different. If the baby is strong enough before this, it will be wrapped up anyway. Then, you can let go of one hand and let him adapt, and then let go of the other hand when he is familiar with it. Or gradually wrap it more and more loosely, so that the baby can adapt slowly. When the baby can turn over, you can also let the baby sleep on his stomach. Sleeping on his stomach has the same effect as packing.
