Swaddling is an ancient practice of wrapping infants in cloth to keep them comfortable and warm, creating a cozy and secure feeling of being in the womb. It helps calm babies when they startle themselves awake at night. Babies with colic and those born with neurologic problems or babies born addicted to drugs may find swaddling very comforting and helpful.

Minimising Stretch Marks 101
Stretch marks can occur at any time in a person’s life. These indented streaks of skin can appear in any part of the body, although most commonly on the belly, the breasts, the hips, and butt. Often they are a result of weight gain or certain types of physical activity that strain and stretch the skin. They do not cause any long term pain, neither are they painful when they occur. Stretch marks also do not harm the skin in any way.
