How to make your new born baby feels secure

When your baby is in the womb, he or she is curled up because of the space contraint. The position however provide a sense of security for the baby. When they are born, they are no longer curled up. We make the baby feels secure by wrapping a blanket around them. Of course, the blanket also serve as a means to keep the baby warm all the time. When they are not wrapped with the blanket, you will notice that your baby might get startled once in a while. I was taught to provide a little bean bag for my baby not long after she was born. The bean bag is to be placed on her chest to make her feels secure. The bean bag gives that effect that somebody is hugging them.

Why a bean bag and not a pillow?

Pillow is too soft for the baby and it is also too light. And it is also dangerous. Because your baby might get suffocated by the pilliow. And because it is light, it will not make them feels secure. A bean bag will have a correct amount of weight to make your baby feels the difference. The bean bag will not suffocate the baby too.

Do note that the bean bag cannot be too big. Your baby has not built up the strength yet to hold too much weight on her body.
