However, ensuring these peaceful nights for both you and your bub can be a journey. That's where baby swaddle cloths come into the picture. They mimic the close, comforting environment of the womb, helping your little one relax and drift off into dreamland. At Mothercare Malaysia, we recognise this essential role of swaddle cloths, offering a range of high-quality options to promote better sleep for your baby, and in turn, for you.

Embrace the Comfort of Muslin Swaddle Cloths

Every parent's joy is seeing their little one comfortable and at ease. Muslin swaddle cloths provide just that. This ancient fabric, once traded in the port town of Masulipatnam in India, offers several benefits:

• Natural and Breathable: Muslin swaddle cloths offer breathability unlike any other, promoting air circulation and maintaining a comfortable temperature for your baby.

• Womb-like Experience: The gentle wrap of a muslin cloth around your little one creates a warm, comforting environment akin to the womb.

• Sleep Enhancer: An undisturbed, restful sleep is crucial for your baby's development. A soft, temperate muslin swaddle can help establish better sleep patterns.

• Support during Feeding: Muslin's lightweight nature allows your baby to feel the warmth of your chest during breastfeeding, offering a comfortable and snug feeding experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Swaddle Cloths 

What purpose does a swaddle cloth serve?

Swaddle cloths recreate a comforting and snug environment for your newborn baby, reminiscent of the womb. They contribute significantly to better, longer sleep by helping to prevent the startle reflex during your baby's slumber.

Should my newborn wear clothes under the swaddle cloth?

Depending on Malaysia's climate, if it's warm and humid or you are exposed to the sun for a longer period of time, a diaper under the swaddle cloth might suffice. In cooler areas, such as indoors at the mall, dressing your baby in a bodysuit beneath the swaddle ensures they stay cosy.

Is swaddling safe after 8 weeks?

Swaddling should cease when your baby starts to roll, which could be around 2 to 3 months. The reason is safety: swaddled babies who roll onto their stomachs may struggle to lift their faces to breathe due to their immobilised hands.
