Questions-Answers

When I swaddle my baby he doesn't look
as neat as in the photos.
Don't worry, like everything new it takes a few
times to get the hang of it. But even if it doesn't
look perfect, your child will still get the benefit
of being swaddled.
How do I know if I have pulled The
Miracle Blanket™ too tight?
If you can slide your finger down between the
blanket and baby's tummy he should be fine.
How should I dress my baby when I
swaddle him to ensure that he is
comfortable?
The Miracle Blanket™ has a TOG value of 1.5 so
how you dress your baby depends on the
temperature in his bedroom. (Please go to
www.redcastle.fr for an explanation about TOG
values).
Can I use a quilt or extra blanket to
cover my baby when he is swaddled?
No, never put a quilt or blanket on top of your
baby. Add an extra cardigan and/or bootees
inside The Miracle Blanket™ if you feel your
child is not warm enough.
How can I know if my baby is too hot?
The best way is to put your fingers on the nape
of baby's neck.
Should I swaddle my baby all the time?
No, we advise that when baby is awake you
should take him out of the swaddle so he can
learn to play with his hands. Eye-hand
coordination is an important part of the learning
process.
For the first 10 days my baby slept well
and was not at all fussy so I did not
swaddle him. Then he began crying for
no reason and waking up unhappy. So I
swaddled him and he seemed to feel
much happier again. Is this normal?
Often newborn babies sleep really well for the
first few days and nights and then something
happens to disturb them and the pattern
changes. This is when using The Miracle Blanket™
has turned out to be such a boon for so many
parents because it really helps baby to settle
down again.
My baby likes to suck his thumb. Can I
still swaddle him?
Yes, if your child really needs to suck his thumb
follow the instructions but leave that arm
outside the blanket.
Why should the blanket not touch my
baby's cheeks?
If a baby feels something touching his face, he
assumes it is a nipple and will try to suck it
(called the 'Rooting response').
When should I stop swaddling my baby?
Each child is different, but generally after 12
weeks swaddling is no longer necessary.
