Should newborns be wrapped when sleeping?

According to the depth of the newborn's sleep, baby sleep can be divided into six categories: two sleeping conditions (deep sleep and light sleep), three wakefulness states (quiet, active, crying), and one drowsy state.

The baby's eyes are closed and his facial muscles are relaxed. His breathing was even, and except for occasional small movements such as startling, he was in a resting state.

2. Active sleep (light sleep)

Generally speaking, the time spent on deep sleep and light sleep is about the same, and one will be in a light sleep state before waking up. The eyes will open briefly, the eyelids will flutter, and rapid eye movements can be observed. Breathing is irregular and faster than in deep sleep. The limbs will occasionally move, and the facial expressions are rich, sometimes chewing or sucking.

3. Drowsiness

This state usually occurs when you are about to fall asleep or just wake up. The eyes are not completely closed, the eyelids are flickering, the gaze is slightly sluggish, and the reaction is slow. They may have frowning and pouting expressions, sleep uneasily, and be easily frightened. At this time, keep quiet and don't disturb the baby's sleep because of some small movements that may wake him up.
