Study Design: Parents of newborns were surveyed about their experiences with swaddling. Pediatricians were also surveyed about their training and counseling they administered. Results: 100 parents completed the survey. Mean age of patients was 5.1 months. 42% of parents currently swaddled their child at time of clinic visit, while 79% (46/58) swaddled their child at one point. 48% of parents received instructions on swaddling from non-medical resources. 66% reported that they had not been counseled about any risks to swaddling. 49 pediatricians were surveyed. 63%were not educated about safe swaddling practices during their training. 55% routinely educated parents about safe swaddling while 45% discussed the risks of swaddling. Conclusion: With most parents not counseled on the risks to swaddling, there is a need for pediatricians to routinely counsel parents on the risks and benefits to swaddling.","PeriodicalId":93160,"journal":{"name":"Academic journal of pediatric and neonatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43018834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By understanding this relationship, adequate interventions such as education and smoking cessation information can be developed for these parents in the Pediatric Department.
