Swaddled Sway
Swaddle your baby snugly and sway together in a calm rhythm.
In the Little Play app, this activity appears in week 1 of your baby's personalized plan.
How to play
1
Swaddle your baby securely with arms tucked in.
2
Hold them close to your chest and sway gently side to side.
3
Hum a low, steady note as you move together.
What you need
• A swaddle blanket
Simple household items. No plastic toys needed.
Why it works
The combination of snug wrapping and gentle motion recreates the security of the womb, helping to calm and settle your newborn.
Good to know
Always swaddle with hips loose enough to move. Place your baby on their back for sleep. Stop swaddling once your baby shows signs of rolling.
