Swaddling clothes were used in biblical times to wrap newborn babies tightly to provide warmth, security, and comfort, similar to how a baby is swaddled today.
I have read or heard somewhere probably 40 years ago that when babies in the near east were swaddled in Bible times that they were wrapped in these swaddling clothes until they were able to break out of them sometime usually after age one. I also heard or read at this time (I wish I could recall the source) that the baby's clothing was not removed during this time so as to clean the baby when it went to the bathroom. By this I mean that This made for a very unsanitary situation as all of this waste matter accumulated inside the swaddling clothing and as a result, infant mortality was always high. I do not know if this information is factual so if someone has other information, please share.

The scripture at Luke 2:7 says that Mary "brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger..."(KJV)"Swaddling" has been the custom in this area for centuries. A mother tightly wraps the baby in swaddling clothes (or cloth bands) when it's time for sleep, and it helps them to feel secure and go to sleep quickly. It gives the baby an almost mummy-like appearance as it keeps the baby's body warm and straight; It also helps the child learn to breath through it's nose, by putting bands under the chin and around the head.
