    Between grandmothers’ wisdom and doctors’ warnings (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For generations, mothers in Oman and around the world have passed down the same trick for soothing a crying newborn: wrapping the baby snugly in cloth to recreate the comfort of the womb. Long regarded as a respected custom and a piece of folk wisdom, swaddling is now drawing closer medical scrutiny, as studies reveal its less comfortable side. For parents, the appeal is understandable: a calmer baby and the prospect of a quieter night. But during those early months, when an infant’s joints are
