Swaddle Safe, Sound and Secure: Like all Ely�s & Co. products, we created our 100% Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blankets with your little ones safety in mind. We understand the importance of creating a safe sleeping environment, so we designed this lightweight and breathable swaddling option to help reduce the risk of overheating. The practice of swaddling creates a womb-like feeling of safety, which may soothe a crying infant and lead to a more restorative night�s sleep. Swaddling also helps to promote a deeper and longer sleep by reducing the startle reflex that can wake baby so everyone can sleep peaceful and sound all through the night.
