Your baby girl is so adorable that I couldn’t pay attention to the swaddling part at all 🤣🤣
Thank you guys! Just a first time dad here trying to help his wife get more sleep. Your channel is gold 🙏
I am new Father to a beautiful little girl. 1 week and 1 day old. While in the hospital, we were told that swaddling was no longer a preferred method that it could increase risk for SIDS. As a professor myself, I started my research. I found the article from 2016 mentioned in this video and was concerned. Especially after being told we should not swaddle. Then I read AAPs recommendations which stated that swaddling was okay, until the baby starts to roll onto their side or tummy. I wish there was a more solid answer to new parents about swaddling. I was excited and prepared until our baby came in the hospital and was told differently. Your video and you both being doctors, have helped me to decide that swaddling is indeed okay and safe. I was looking for a video on how to swaddle best to protect from hip dysplasia and issues in the future. Just want to say thank you. This has truly helped, will be tuning in to learn more as my baby grows!
Congrats Dad!! I bet that sweet little girl has you wrapped around her finger already. So glad this video was helpful. We try to share AAPs recommendations whenever possible! Before having a baby, I (Sarah) didn't realize that you had to "wean the swaddle" once they are rolling over, but of course it makes sense--don't want them stuck on their tummy! We felt swaddling really helped Cec sleep, so hopefully it helps your daughter too!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman Thank you so much!
My pediatrician and NICU nurses all recommended swaddling. Easier said than done with our little dude who seems to think life is a mosh pit.
I’m pregnant with my second, and I LOVE to research, so I knew most of this. But hearing it from 2 professionals is a nice reassuring reminder. I’ve been binge watching your videos as I’m isolating with COVID. So thank you for all the information you are providing!
I love your channel! So glad I came across this channel while I pregnant and now having a newborn 💗🤗 your videos definitely help ☺️
Thanks for this 🎥. New parents over here trying figure it out and this video is a game changer.
She's so cute! She likes looking left I see :) My son was a right looker. It's so interesting how the advice differs from country to country. I live in Norway, and we generally don't swaddle, and also put babies to sleep with a loose blanket. I've looked at the statistics, and there doesn't seem to be much difference in SIDS rates between the two countries.
I'm Canadian and, to be honest, I have put a loose blanket in my baby's crib and he likes it! I completely believe you!
I Love your guy’s videos! Y’all are too cute and give amazing Info to us new parents! I’m due November 7th 2021 (shout out to ALL our beautiful pandemic babies born this year!)❤️❣️❤️❣️
Yes please keep these videos coming. You guys are fantastic.
Your baby is so adorable!
The hole in the swaddleme is for diaper check and for baby swings. Just in case someone is interested.
Congrats beautiful daughter ! Thank you for this video
Baby was such a good sport! Thanks for sharing. Really helpful instruction.
We think she’s perfect! And we got all of these clips in one wake window!!
Hi! I’m so glad I came across your channel this week! I’m 22 weeks pregnant with 2nd daughter & I love all of your content so far. 💓
Oh Fiamma! Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy you found us and welcome to our channel. Congrats on your pregnancy--we hope it is going smoothly and are so excited for you!!
Thanks so much! I got the 2nd swaddle in a bag full of baby stuff. And I did want to make sure I had the right idea.
I’m due in just a few days with my first and found this video to be very helpful! I have all of those swaddles except the Ollie one. Adorable baby 😍
We use the swaddleme and we love it because it works with the wheaton pavlick harness he has to wear due to his mild hip dysplasia from being breach so we put the bottom flap in between his legs and swaddle the top part as usual and he looks like a cute little tadpole ❤
🍾👏👏love you guys (lovely family ) Thanks for all the information
I'm a new Nana. I just Love your video's here on youtube. Thank you so much for all your content. I have learned so much. Things have sure change since I had my last baby 32 years ago. Your videos are teaching me tons of great things to do for my only Grandchild. Thanks again
Congrats Nana and good luck! We’re so glad our videos have been helpful to you. Thank you for letting us know.
Oh my goodness! First time dad here and I had a general concept of the swaddle from the hospital, we couldn’t ever get it quite as secure as the hospital staff could. We picked up a halo sack yesterday and didn’t want to fight with it in the middle of the night with it. Tried it before putting youngster down tonight. GAME CHANGER!
Omg she is super cute 🥰 …Im in last trimester staying away from my family .my husband and i are learning a lot from you guys..Thanks for the videos…can you make a video about baby pillows and baby rockers??Are they safe to use??
Glad I watched this. I couldn't figure out why my halo sleep sacks and swaddle me swaddles were bunching up by my daughters face. Looks like I was pulling the flaps up over the shoulder too much.
Awwww ceecee is growing so fast plus she look so much like her dad
She’s growing so fast! And yes, it seems like everyone think she’s a baby Kurt
Really your videos are very helpful
Aweee she has hiccups. How cute! It's lovely to meet your baby ❤️❤️
My only question is - do you guys do house calls? To Germany? Ha! Your videos do make me feel much more confident in my ability to be a parent, I'm so envious of your patients!
Awesome. Glad for the tip to keep arms on side so they don’t wiggle out
Such a good girl being your model ❤️
Awesome and great👌
Thank you
Thank you doctors.
Such a beautiful model 😍
Thanks for all the info
Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR THIS
Oh the hiccups….. In Indian tradition when the baby has hickups, they say that baby is growing✨ She is so precious
She must be growing a lot!!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman I see my baby in the ultrasound and he has hiccups🧿
Cecilia is so adorable!!!
I'm lazy and use the Velcro ones.. I'm really here for baby girl!!

So glad it helped!
Hi dear drs love your channel. I have a one month new born... did not knew about the swaddling technique and it's quite interesting. My baby is sleeping through the night and I just wake her once to clean her and give her a feed...so no problems there but during the day she is not sleeping long enough and really short amounts of time... and mostly only close to me... is it to late to start swaddling now since I have a good night routine running. Or can I just swaddle during the day... it.wont confuse her perhaps? Binge watching your videos they are soooo insightful thanks alot!
Awww my attention is drawn to the baby. I have to repeat watching again and again❤
The hole in the Swaddle Me is to place baby in a swing or bouncer.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome video thank you! What do you guys think about baby monitors like the Owlet Sock or the Sense-U that monitor baby's vitals? Would be nice to know from doctor's point of view if they are worth buying and if they are necessary or not. Nothing replaces safe sleep practices, but would just like to get your take on it. Thank you for the great and informative videos!
I loved using the owlett. We got ours second hand and the wire broke after a while so we changed to a battery operated belly/movement sensor, it ran out of battery quickly though.
Can you post a video of kind of teas or food that we need to avoid if we are trying to conceive ? I was drinking this apple cinnamon tea and it had licorice root in it and on google , it says licorice root can cause behavioral problems in children. I’m avoiding caffeine including black tea and matcha and green tea too since I started trying to conceive . I miss drinking something hot ( like tea ). So can you please recommend teas that are safe to drink for women trying to conceive ? Thanks
Those baby hiccup ms are so cute!
Thanks
Your daughter is beautiful!! Are y’all against the swaddles that allow their arms to be up, like the Love-to-Dream ones? Thanks!
We really like your videos and congrats on your little baby.
I have a question
I'm 45 years old and 10 weeks pregnant naturally, with baby no2.
I like to ask what is the max folic acid dose I can take,
before pregnancy, I talked 800 mcg, and when I got pregnant I talked 1200 mcg now I'm 10 weeks I'm thinking to go back to 800 mcg.
I do this because of my age and I had 2 miscarriages before.
Our baby loves the side hold too.
She is adorable! Thank you for this video
How do you feel about back sleep positioners ?
omg i have been using the swaddle me wrong! my baby always gets an arm out, now I see why!
Your videos are so informative. As a FTM, I’ve learned a lot! Thank you so much.
Can you make a video regarding breastfeeding?? I’m 7 days pp, and needing to supplement since my milk supply is low.. baby is starting to prefer bottle feeding now over breast. Any tips would be so helpful!
Any advice on this? We are 4 days pp and this is our EXACT situation
Do you guys recommend weighted sleep sacks/swaddles, such as the ones by Dreamland baby?
We got the nested bean zen one
Have you ever tried the embé swaddle? The ollie isn't approved as hip healthy by the international hip dysplasia Institute?
My baby is 4 days old and he’s already starting so roll onto his side😂
Same with mine and I'm constantly checking on her through the night to the point I can't sleep.
@@KSC_ I'm going through the same thing. Anxiety like a mf!
Hi Doctors!
Until what age do we swaddle? I stopped swaddling mine after about two weeks and he has been sleeping ok.. Can we lie babies head down, for naps or for sleeping hours?
Should newborns be swaddled all day long? If not how many hours per day?
We absolutely love the Love to Dream swaddle. Our daughter loves to sleep with her hands up. Our lil starfish! ⭐️
My Bub did too. :) he just sleeps with a romper suit now.
What if your baby can roll to the side from birth? I haven't been swaddling because it doesn't seem safe.
, I have a couple different types of swallows I want to try when I have my first child and if your daughter is just so precious and I think tutorials like this are really important for first-time parents. I've swallowed a few babies in my time I've been a nanny for years and I've also helped with my nieces and nephews since I was a kid but you always have something to learn.
She's so cute 🥰
Thanks!
What's your view on arms up swaddling? My baby hates swaddling with his arms down, but arms up he sleeps pretty great.
My Bub loved the Love To Dream swaddle as a newborn, then transitioned into one with arms out when he started to roll. We used it in a mesh bassinet and an owlet sock monitor. Now he’s 1 and not loving the cot, so he bed shares in a romper suit for easy nappy changes.
Hi Sarah and Kurt! Would you be able to do a video on planned Csection births? I have placenta previa and will be giving birth to our first child, a baby girl, on September 10 via planned csection. I don't really know what to expect and would love to hear you speak about it :). Thanks!
This is literally the next video we plan to do! Just been so busy the last two weeks. Should have it out next week and if not then, the week after!!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to see it. No rush at all, I hope you guys are having the best time with Baby C!
My question is when and why to swaddle, I see many people swaddling babies all night long which is something that worries me as I feel this could make it easier to suffocate if the baby squirms and with the swaddling creating a sausage shape that rocks easily and so the baby might end up on his/her face. Would it not be better to only swaddle when a baby awake and needs some comfort?
Day 2 at home with Baby Louis and these videos are super useful!!
Louis doesn’t want to put his arms to the side… 🤷♂️ is it ok to leave his arms in bent position (hands to chest) inside the swaddle?
Try a swaddle up or when crawling have arms out.
Can you guys do a vdo on strollers, car seats and big essentials items? Is it necessary for those to be expensive

Oh no - poor baby girl has the hiccups! She is so cute though, and this is very helpful information. Thank you!
You’re welcome. We sure do think she’s cute too!
How should be dress babies when swaddle? Especially at night time...I live in CA
A good rule of thumb for dressing babies is to match the layers you have one and then add one layer such as a light blanket/swaddle for sleep.
Baby is beautiful 😍
Thank you!
I have loved watching y'alls journey to parenthood! I myself just found out I'm pregnant 3 days ago. Today is the day my period is due and I had some light brown/pink spotting in the morning that has since gone away. Should I contact my OB or is this pretty normal?
Good day just wondering about in the winter. will you need more blankets to keep baby warm and how do you use more blankets safely?
A good rule to follow is to have baby in similar layers as you are wearing plus one. At room temperature for sleep, a single layer plus a swaddle blanket is almost always sufficient.
Please be careful not to have extra blankets where baby is sleeping as this can be a risk to them should the blanket get infront of their faces and block their breathing.
Your cute baby was tired, no more modeling jiji she’s patient!
Do you guys have a video about “newborn curl”. Our baby was born at 35 weeks and just will NOT stay on his back
On the swaddle me the cut out is for monitors if the baby is in the hospital. At least that's what I was told.
Oh that makes total sense!! Thank you so much for sharing!
When I swaddle my baby she looks like a burrito 🌯 so cute ☺️

Hi, how many swaddles ( the actual swaddle baggies, not blankets) should we have? How many sleep sacks should we have? Asking for gift registry
I'm pregnant myself, so I'm just guessing. :) I think you have 1-2 per size of the baby and season? Some brands like Swaddle Up have light ones for Summer and thicker for Winter.
What are your thoughts on weighted swaddled for infants?
If baby moved would the blanket not loosen?
Hi, the Halo was not used as the instructions.
And here I thought the opening in the back of the SwaddleMe was to check the diaper 😅 (if they aren't wearing clothes under it). Definitely not going to use for the car seat at all!! 😳
I always thought those cutouts were for tubes or something🤯
why swaddle though? did some research and couldnt find any reason why to swaddle other than potential longer sleep but no real concrete conclusions as to how this actually helps meanwhile if its not done correctly hips can be displaced. I am having a hard time seeing the benefit of this
My baby is turning himself over at 5 days old, what do I do? He also sleeps through the day, and screams all through the night .
She was so tiny here…can’t less than 2 years later she now has a little brother and can identify anatomy!
My baby screams when you try to swaddle her and always gets her arms out, shakes and twists until the swaddles comes loose. It’s rough 😅
Non related question - I've had 2 chemical pregnancies in a row, should I be worried? Doctor doesn't seem to take it seriously
Try taking the supplement CoQ10, it helps improve your egg quality! It can even be taken by your partner to improve sperm count/quality as well. ❤️
should the baby be naked when being swaddled, so they dont sweat?
No need to be naked. One layer plus the swaddle blanket is perfect. (Think of it like when you wear pajamas to bed and then cover up with blankets!)
💕💕
❤❤❤❤
Why did doctor dad hold baby sideways?
Is swaddling only for sleeping?.. first time mom to be ..19 weeks 😊
You can swaddle them to comfort but in the early newborn stage it is likely to bring sleep.
@@KLR307 thanks!
Agree with the above! Great for sleep and just comfort, but be sure to get your awake baby some time to explore by having their arms and legs free during wake periods.
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman thank you! Love your informative videos. Trying to absorb as much as I can about motherhood- hopefully I don’t drown hehe
Being an ObGyn resident with a 2 months old baby, I just realized I did wrong marrying a finance guy 😃 should have gotten a Pediatrician like Sara 😂 much more useful
😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing with my security husband 😂
😂
Wth just appreciate your spouse don’t make use of them
@@yanyuetsarcasm.
How clever ...like a baseball field!!👏👏👏
I just took a prenatal class from a major hospital in Toronto Canad and they said swaddling with arms tight like you have increases the risk of SIDS. They advised to swaddle with arms out.
Bruh my son been on earth for 2 weeks holds his head up turns his head n he already trying turn over he can legit turn himself on his side 😭😭😭 I’m trying figure out how to keep his hands down smh nothing works ! 😭😭
My 10yo daughter is P.O.ed at the dad! Holding the baby sideways?? What the heck?*!#?
I personally think some parents swaddle their kids way too tight it looks like a torture
Baby straight jackets lol
