Wrapping an infant snugly in a light blanket, a practice historically used to provide comfort and a sense of security, presents unique challenges during warmer months. This technique can mimic the close feeling of the womb, potentially soothing a newborn and promoting sleep. However, maintaining a safe and comfortable temperature for the baby becomes paramount in higher temperatures.
Providing a feeling of security and warmth can be beneficial for an infant’s sleep and overall well-being, and this practice has been employed across cultures for centuries. However, improper application in hot climates presents a risk of overheating, which can have serious health consequences. The key is to adapt the technique to the ambient temperature, prioritizing the baby’s comfort and safety.
