There was an association of neglect with swaddling, especially in regard to wetnurses who would leave babies in their care swaddled for long periods without washing or comforting them.
Babies were highly protected and nutured, swaddled on a board, and carried on the back.
Babies would be swaddled like this until about 8 or 9 months.
The animal was swaddled in moist cheesecloth and secured to a piece of cork bolted to a rotatable stage.
They have to be swaddled to be held.
