Swaddle transition illustreated by swaddled baby

Swaddle transitioning may seem a little daunting at first, but babies are more adaptable than we adults sometimes give them credit for. 

Though, saying that, humans don't care for change - even the mini humans among us.

Be prepared for some restless nights and don't be afraid to try different methods until you find what works best for your baby."
