Until the end of the 19th century, many cultures had a custom of baby
swaddling. The infant would be tightly wrapped in narrow strips of cloth most of
time. The arms and legs would be bound, preventing movement. Parents did this in the
belief that it protected the baby not only from injury but also disease. Some infants might be left in
these wrappings for days. Usually, though, the wrappings were removed and changed regularly. The
midnight Mass Gospel notes that Jesus was swaddled.
