How To Gently Swaddle A Newborn Baby | The Thompson Method
Channel: The Thompson Method
Date: 2021-07-12

Have you seen photos of newborn babies, so tightly swaddled to the point where it makes you feel uncomfortable?  

How a mother swaddles her baby is an individual choice, but Dr. Robyn Thompson, the founder of The Thompson Method, encourages mothers to mimic the conditions of their uterus when swaddling their newborn baby. Swaddling your baby in a "straight jacket" is not recommended, according to this experienced midwife, because this restricts the newborn's instincts and reflexes.  A gentle, light swaddle will assist in priming your newborn's instincts, while still keeping them safe and sound.

WHAT ARE THE 3 GOLDEN HOURS? 
The "3 Golden Hours" refer to the immediate hours after a mother gives birth. It’s so important that mothers are given the opportunity to be skin-to-skin with their babies during these 3 hours to breastfeed them and form that immediate bond.

QUESTION: So why does the hospital system often interrupt a mother and those 3 important hours with her newborn?

ANSWER: At the end of the day, hospitals are businesses, and they want you in and out as quickly as possible. The hospital system isn’t designed to be in your best interest. It’s designed for time efficiency.  This push for time efficiency often means your 3 Golden Hours are likely to be interrupted by routine hospital procedures that can and should wait.
