[edit] Swaddling-Popular or unpopular in the Western World?

I'm curious to know the basis for the statement that swaddling has "fallen out of favor in the Western world". Perhaps it is true that Americans do not swaddle there young like tribal peoples, but when it comes to bedtime, I've found that a new infant swaddled is much easier to get to sleep than otherwise. The hospital here (in Texas) swaddled the babies in the nursery. It is a technique also taught in the book What to Expect the First Year on pages 86-87.Gregory Y 03:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
