Parenting Flashcards

Today's term: swaddle

swad-dle vb: to wrap a newborn tightly in a blanket so that his or her limbs are immobilized, in order to soothe and facilitate sleep - syn: baby burrito, babygami, houdini wrap, baby straitjacket - see also: binky, blankie, startle reflex, velcro

Used in a sentence: " I wonder, can one swaddle too tightly?"

The synonyms crack me up on this one!
