Womb to World
Surfacing out of the womb into seemingly limitless atmosphere is a monumental transition for every baby. Sleeping newborns, no longer confined to an amniotic sac, seem to experience a “fall” and STARTLE themselves awake.
And they cry.
Sleep, the Startle Reflex and Swaddling
Newborns startle until about 2 - 2 ½ months. This Startle Reflex can be managed by the age-old practice of SWADDLING, wrapping the infant snugly. Try a Turtle with a positioner and a swaddling blanket. Used in combination with a Sleeping Turtle™, your infant will tend to feel more secure and sleep longer.
