Swaddling recreates the familiar, warm environment of the womb, which has a calming effect on your baby. It reduces restlessness and improves sleep.
If your baby is restless or cries a lot, swaddling is a tool to help them relax and calm down more quickly. Additionally, babies are not aware they have arms. They often wake themselves up by flailing, but swaddling prevents them from moving their arms, which also provides peace.
The cocoon is an ideal intermediate step between swaddling and a sleeping bag. It combines the secure feeling of swaddling with the freedom of a sleeping bag. This allows your baby to gradually get used to more freedom of movement while maintaining a sense of security.
