Do the square swaddle like a pro with a swaddle square.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO SWADDLE IN A HIP-HEALTHY MANNER?
Experts at the International Hip Dysplasia Institute state:
It’s especially important to allow the hips to spread apart and bend up. In the womb the legs are in a fetal position with the legs bent up across each other. Sudden straightening of the legs to a standing position can loosen the joints and damage the soft cartilage of the socket.
In the video below, a postpartum doula from Family Tree Doula Services demonstrates the square swaddle method. This method coupled with the Swaddle Square blanket provides a hip-healthy, startle reducing, cozy swaddle for your baby. For babies up to 12 lbs. and 22 inches long, we recommend the Small Swaddle Square blanket. For larger babies, size up the Large Swaddle Square blanket.
