Swaddling and sleeping bags
Hello, hope your all well.
Am after picking your brains please ladies!
I just wondered what's your thought on swaddling? I've heard conflicting reports about weather it's a good thing or not. Also when it comes to sleeping what's best use as bedding? Does the baby sleep under a sheet and blanket, or just 1 of those cellular blankets? Or a sleeping bag? But can those be used for a newborn?
Sorry for the 20 questions, I'm a first timer and am worried I know nothing!!
Thanks

this summer as its a spring baby i have bought lightweight swaddling blankets and will do sheets not baby sleeping bags, i just didnt get on with sleeping bags, but they are handy i guess.
Good luck, just see what seems to be your babies preference. x
Mothercare has a handy guide in the catalogue as to how many sheets / blankets to use, and what to dress them in, and its probably online too.
We had initially used a sleeping bag when she was newborn, and she was fine with it - god knows why we swapped to swaddling! This time I'm avoiding swaddling like the plague and have a few newborn size sleeping bags, plus extra blankets if needed. x
