Natura Pura Muslin Wrap: The Right Choice

Posted by Karine Champagne on 2nd Oct 2011

Good quality muslin wraps are an essential element of any babies’ wardrobe and also a wonderful present idea for a new mum as they are so versatile and practical.
Natura Pura Organic muslin wrap will be the perfect companion for baby’s first years. Its fabric is made under the strictest standards to ensure a purely organic product from the cultivation of the cotton to the weaving of the wrap without addition of any chemical or dye.

Why is it best for baby?
Allergic free, the muslin can be used directly in contact with baby’s delicate skin even in the instance of eczema. Its double layer of very soft organic cotton makes it ideal for wrapping baby as its open weave helps absorb moisture away from baby and keeping him/her cool while still providing comforting support.

Why wrapping helps settle your baby?
Baby wrapping, also known as swaddling is a method used for generations by mothers and grandmothers and still widely used today by midwives. Wrapping seems to bring a sense of comfort and security for young babies as it mimics pre-natal conditions and therefore can help them develop a more settled sleep pattern. Others reasons for wrapping a baby are that it encourages the child to stay on his/her back, reduce chances of being awake by startle reflex (random arm movements which can disturb a baby’s sleep) and can help settle a baby disturbed by colic or reflux. No all babies enjoy wrapping though and it is best to refer to the baby’s communication signals and your own instinct as to know if wrapping is suitable for your baby.
