Do you have a new baby in the family? Or do you know someone with a precious new addition on the way?
If so…you’ll want to be sure to take 5 minutes to listen in on my new podcast this week.
The technique of swaddling babies has been around for centuries but is coming under new scrutiny based on the findings of a recent study.
While swaddling may provide comfort for a baby in the very early days and weeks of life, it can become a potentially life-threatening risk much quicker than you may imagine.
So do your baby (or your friend’s baby) a big favor, and join me on this week’s 5 Minutes to Health podcast:
“Swaddling: The New Risk for Your Baby”
In this 5-minute podcast, you will discover:
- The important, new risk identified when swaddling
- When you should absolutely stop swaddling your baby
- The safest way to put your baby down to sleep
