  • Thank you for posting. I am doing research on medieval and early modern infant care practices and pediatric medicine. It was great to get an idea of how swaddling was done. As far as I can see, and based on what I know of other cultures which swaddle their infants similarly-- it is safe, as was practiced for 1000's of years the world over with no safety recalls. Common sense helps: i.e. don't use smooth or slippery ribbons, and be sure that the swaddling cloth is away from the babies face.

  • If you listen carefully toward the end of the video, the woman on camera and another woman off camera begin talking about how unsafe this method was. I don't get the feeling they are advocating this.

  • Wow. How NOT to swaddle a baby! (Unless you want to ensure a choking hazard. Sheesh.) Yes, I know it's a period reenactment thing, but I hope nobody finds this who is looking for a swaddling instructional video. My baby sleeps super-happy swaddled in her Miracle Blanket. (It was kinda expensive, but TOTALLY worth it!)
