Mothers around the world wrap their baby in cloth which is known as ‘swaddling’, it is a common thing whether you life in Asia, Middle East, Africa or Europe.
But there are many rumors about swaddling, which make you think whether it is good or bad. Some claim that it is very healthy and should not be avoided while other believe that it is unhealthy for the growth and health of children.

There are certain problems which arise if the child is not properly swaddled such as strict and tight wrapping of legs may lead to hip dislocation and may affect the leg movements.
