Top 10 Baby Swaddles
New Parents Are Obsessed With These Baby Swaddles
Being a new parent is tough, but being a new parent sleep deprived is even tougher. Making sure your baby gets more than three to four hours of sleep at a time is a big part of helping your own sleep schedule. Swaddling is a great way to ensure that—it gives babies the snug embrace they were accustomed to in the womb, prevents unnecessary wake-ups due to the startle reflex, and stops babies from scratching their delicate faces. By preventing startles and wild-hand nose-whacks and making sure that your little one feels secure and warm, a swaddle is one of the best tricks to quickly boost your baby into a restful night's sleep. To help you and your baby catch some more soundful Zs, we've rounded up a list of the best swaddles on the market according to both new and seasoned parents. Read on to see a variety of the best baby swaddles—from double zipper features to sensitive muslin material—there's something for every baby and parent's needs. Opening image: @TheOllieSwaddle

He now sleeps eight to nine hours every night and instantly calms when wrapped with this blanket"
