snugglewings

I heard of a parenting style which is swadling or maybe a part of it is swadling. Basically, you left the child or baby alone when it is crying or in discomfort. It's supposed to train the babies not to depend on their parents too much from an early age.

swaddling (wrapping the baby up with a blanket) is normal and recommended too cos otherwise it might be too cold for the baby. but i dont think using this snugglewings product is good. reflexes are there to protect the baby. eventually the reflex will go away on its own. you should'nt be forcing the baby to cross their arms like that. they havent learnt how to speak yet and so wouldnt be able to tell you if they're comfortable or not but you can imagine it for yourselves. wanting to stretch or move your hands and but not being able to do so. you are right in calling it a strait jacket. sure moving their hands around may cause the baby to wake up but i dont think forcing their hands together like that is a good idea. i havent been taking care of any babies yet though so this is just my opinion.

Hello CaptAlbert. i would never purchase something like that. I worked in the nursery at the hospital and we wrapped the babies very snug. After all they come into the world with all kinds of room to move around after being in a very tight place for nine months. If they are just wrapped with the receiving blanket they get used to having their arms free faster. They out grow things so fast that They would be out of this snugglewing almost before it came in the mail. Any way I wouldn't wast my money on it. my babies would fight it in the second place.

I have never seen something like that and if it is like a straight jacket then I would never buy that for a baby. These are just stupid ideas from silly people with nothing better to do than think of crazy contraptions to make money. Can you imagine telling anyone that you even use one of those, I would be ashamed of it.
