It was while conducting research for a book she was writing called swaddle love – a personal and historical account of the ancient tradition of swaddling babies – that aden + anais swaddle love foundation, Inc. President, Raegan Moya-Jones, discovered there was scientific evidence supporting something she already knew: that healthy human touch is invaluable for babies. A proponent of swaddling babies with breathable and lightweight muslin, Raegan learned about the effects of "touch deprivation" in infants and discovered that holding babies increases tactile stimulation. She also learned that soothing touch, such as hugging and rocking, helps foster a healthy parent attachment, aids with early socialization, and enhances a child’s ability to focus and learn.

swaddle love is an entertaining and practical guide full of candid storytelling and heartwarming humor that explores the history, science, and techniques of swaddling. It’s a joyful celebration of babies, parenthood, and sleeping eight hours a night.

A percentage of the book sales will be donated to the aden + anais swaddle love foundation, Inc.
