I want to send a gift to my cousin’s son. They’re Danish and just had their first baby. I live in the US and am not familiar with the parenting habits in Europe.

Here in the US we use swaddles, a kind of sleep sack you put the newborn in and wrap them up tightly. That tight wrap makes them feel kind of like they’re in the womb and it decreases the startle reflex that often wakes them up. It’s my understanding swaddles are not popular in Denmark.

Here it’s considered safe sleep until they start rolling. However, I don’t want to give them a gift they’ll never use or that is considered unsafe sleep in Denmark.

If you’re a Danish parent, would you use one if someone sent it to you?

Thanks in advance!
