Swaddle Blankets
Swaddles are great to use for newborns until 3 months of age. Not only do they keep newborns warm, but they help calm their moro reflex which gives them the feeling of being startled. Swaddles will help your baby sleep longer as well as it provides a womb-like sensation.

Is a swaddle enough to keep baby warm?

Wrapping your baby securely in a blanket (swaddling) helps the baby feel warm and safe if you aren't able to hold and snuggle him or her skin-to-skin.

How do I keep my baby warm when swaddling?

In general, layered clothing for sleep is practical, in case you need to remove or add a layer. Pajamas with feet are a good choice. "Wearable blankets" or sleep sacks that won't get tangled can also help keep your baby cozy. Contrary to what you might think, babies don't need more bundling up than adults.
